    This present study aims to provide a comprehensive representation of the Hungarian aspects of
    academic membership for women, based on the contribution of valuable insight from researchers and academics while also listing the possible opportunities and tools that might be of help
    for raising the proportion of female academics in our country. The study summarizes their voices

    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.
