That adoption by same-sex couples or single parents should not be legal

This ethics essay is about responsible parenting which leads to the well being of society and about the high potential risk of not achieving it. There is also shown a high potential risk of increasing social pathology. Parenting is hard to imagine without a family but responsible parenting is absolutely impossible without it. Need to repeat: It is hard to imagine not only parenting without family but also parenting without responsibility. Firstly, we should familiarize ourselves with the functions of the family. A good definition of the word “function” is: a contribution that a part of a system makes to the maintenance of the whole. This is also true when dealing with the functions of the family. Every member of a family contributes to the family unit as a whole, and every family unit contributes and adds to society. Talcott Parson, a well known structural sociologist said, “we need families in all societies because they do a special job for society” [1] and stated even more that the main functions of the family were: "to ensure that new babies actually survive to become adult members of that society, to regulate sexual activity, to ensure that children are satisfactorily socialized into the norms and values of society, to provide economic support for other family members, to satisfy our emotional needs for love and security," and finally, "to provide us with a sense of place and position in our society". [2] To make the family safe, our ancestors invented a social institution called marriage. Merriam-Webster's dictionary definition in the 2003 edition shows: “the mutual relation of husband and wife, the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family”. The extended family or later nuclear family was the way humankind survived more than fifty five thousands of years.


However, at some point in history, human custom tradition and thoughts changed. The successful human survival strategy of society which was structured on a family base progressively deteriorated and ended. Destruction of successful western society had begun.

Petition on German Concentration Camps

WHEREAS the media uses the historically erroneous terms "Polish concentration camp" and "Polish death camp" to describe Auschwitz and other Nazi extermination camps built by the Germans during World War II, which confuses impressionable and undereducated readers, leading them to believe that the Holocaust was executed by Poland, rather than Nazi Germany,


WHEREAS these phrases are Holocaust revisionism that desecrate the memories of six million Jews from 27 countries who were murdered by Nazi Germany,

WHEREAS Poland was the first country invaded by Germany, and the only country whose citizens suffered the death penalty for rescuing Jews, yet never surrendered during six years of German occupation, even though one-sixth of its population was killed in the war, approximately half of which was Christian,

WHEREAS educated journalists must know these facts and not cross the libel threshold of malice by using phrases such as "Polish concentration camps."


BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the undersigned request that The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and the Associated Press, include entries in their stylebooks requiring news stories to be historically accurate, using the official name of all "German concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland," as UNESCO did in 2007 when it named the camp in Auschwitz, "The Auschwitz-Birkenau German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945)."

My bio-history...

Bio-historical Critical Sociology started on 10.10.2009 in Polish cyberspace when I published my Polish blog series of sociological articles. In the blog, I analysed a Polish contemporary socio-political situation based on very interesting unpublished, open-ended articles through extensive research on relevant scientific fields and its findings, such as archeology, history, evolutionary biology, evolutionary anthropology, linguistics and sociology.

This biological and historical approach to Critical Sociology is a continuation of Darwin’s theory, Wilson’s sociobiology and Maryanski’s evolutionary sociology, including the thoughts of John Locke, Charles Wright Mills and Friedrich von Hayek. The approach remained in opposition to main stream academic sociology. In other words, it is an evolutionary approach in terms of social cultural history and the biological development of creatures on earth.

A bio-history approach to human ecology stresses the interplay between biophysical and cultural processes. Its starting point is the study of the history of life on earth and of the basic principles of evolution, ecology, and physiology, as well as the sensitivities of ecosystems and living organisms. It then considers the biological and innate sensitivities of humans, the emergence of the human aptitude for culture and its biological significance. It is particularly concerned with the interplay between cultural processes and biophysical systems, such as ecosystems and human populations.

Research methods used in this bio-historical school of critical sociology are qualitative observations based on one on one in-depth interviews rather than quantitative statistics or polls. The social researcher works like a private detective gathering social and personal data which are further used in logical processes of forming a conclusion such as induction, deduction or analogy.

If you are a Jew... - a letter from a “CouchSurfing” host to his potential globetrotters guests

If you are a Jew and visiting or staying at my place, please read this note carefully as it carries some important statements.


From early childhood I have been very passionate about history and I have read hundreds of books (literally) about many history events. I have always been particularly interested in the history of the World War II. I consider World War II to be the most significant event in the history of our modern civilisation. Recent contact with Jews in Australia has brought a mixed bag of feelings. Despite many positive experiences, I have heard several false anti-Polish statements that have roots in negative stereotypes popularised by the Western media which are not supported by historical evidence. As I personally know people who risked their lives to help Jews during World War II, these statements are deeply offensive to me, my friends and my nation and I simply won’t tolerate them. I would like to present comments expressed by Jews I have met in Australia for your consideration:



1. “Poles are Anti-Semitic”

As individual opinions typically vary, the cruel events of the World War II have greatly reduced the Jewish population in Poland (it has been reduced to around 15,000 people) therefore for most of my life I have never met a Jew and anti-semitism has never existed in my consciousness. Possibly, for the same reason I have never met anyone who has demonstrated anti-Jewish attitudes. According to Wikipedia, “Germany, France, Britain and Russia are the countries with the highest rate of anti-semitic incidents in Europe. The Netherlands and Sweden have also consistently had high rates of anti-semitic attacks since 2000”. Poland is not mentioned there. It is also an undeniable fact that Poland hosted the biggest Jewish community on the planet for many centuries, with first settlement records reaching back to the XI century.
