2012
Dana Zapletalová | Jiří Tuza
Every human behavior is under the influence of many factors, for example, personal preconditions, ambitions, education, in addition to certain time and the enviroment in which human beings live and work. From the social point of view, the first place in the regulation of behaviour is occupied by the normative regulátory systems. The contemporary time and society are often denominated as postmodern or postindustrial. Among others, there are crisis of various kind, first of all the crisis of traditional value systems reflected in the crisis of moral and law, which is connected with the current period. In this article, we analyse contemporary society, its characteristic features, in addition to comparison with the earlier period called modern or industrial. Both these periods have some characteristic elements which are mutually antagonistic. However, they have something in common at the same time. Apart from that, both societies have met a crisis. Moreover, there were changes in values and regulatory systems during these periods. With respect to the value systems, it is obvious that they have undergone fundamental changes which society has to settle up. Furthermore, it is necessary to assume a certain position when considering moral and legal aspects.
