  Globalisation is a complex and worldwide process overarching historical times and continents.
  It started with the great geographical discoveries, continued with the emergence of world trade
  and the development of a truly global market reaching its present status. Globalisation has both
  negative and positive effects. Out of the positive effects it has to be emphasised that more and
  more zones of our planet benefit from the advances in sciences and techniques, more and more people have better access to work, education and the necessary commodities to meet their basic
  needs. Globalisation has brought efficiency and new opportunities to companies, providing practically free access to raw materials, labour and knowledge. Out of the negative effects degradation of the biosphere, the greater social and economic inequality especially in the developing
  countries has to be pointed out. Some companies are operating worldwide and have acquired
  great economic power and influence. Governments have only limited possibilities to regulate
  their operation. The expenses of profit maximisation are high, which are often ‘paid’ by the social-natural environment (as externalities). The aim of our study is to overview how current
  business relations could be formed to be more human and environment friendly from the point
  of view of Christian philosophy. It has to be pointed out that our study is focusing on the Christian
  point of view, although in our globalised world when studying business relations we should not
  forget about the role of other world major religious groups.

  This study examines the social ideology regarding gender equalities, through outstanding women’s scholars, which is based on old traditions and customs. Among other things, I present the
  main stages of the scientific career of Maria Michell, Marie Curie, Lise Meitner, Vera Rubin. I capture the subject within the theoretical framework of women’s studies, which is characterized by
  many questions and debates, for example the biological or the cultural determinism (the nature
  or education, religion, culture, socialization) have greater influence on gender roles.
