Abstract (EN)
, general human rights
vs. their specificity in different cultural contexts. During the first wave,
the discrepancy could be observed in different sociocultural contexts. For
example, the coexistence of the Roma minority and the majority population
has been a social and political topic in the SR for a long time. Human rights
were discussed by the public after the Police and Army quarantined several
Roma settlements during the pandemic (https://www.amnesty.sk/zastavme-
stigmatizaciu-romov-a-romok-pocas-pandemie-covid-19/).
Conclusion
This research based on critical discursive analysis of social reality is
mainly focused on basic needs connected to the ecologically oriented social
work application in relation with the solution to social problems. Its application
was demonstrated on the example of solving social problems during the first
phase of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic in the Slovak Republic. The conclusion is
focused on answering the main research question and to offer recommendations
for research and practice of social work related to solving social problems.
These problems correspond with eco-social approaches in social work as well
as proposals for social changes and they take into consideration experiences
during the first wave of the new coronavirus pandemic in terms of applying
eco-social approaches to solve social problems.
Answering the main research question:
What are the basic needs connected to the ecologically oriented social
work application in relation with the solution to social problems during the
coronavirus pandemic?
These needs are mainly:
— The need for social workers‘ own experience with “mutual faultification“
of social problems when drastic measures were taken in several facilities
providing social services. It is justified by the topos of danger and threat.
— the reflection of global social risks combination during the first phase
of the coronavirus pandemic in the Slovak Republic connected to the
topos of democracy and to the need to protect human rights of people
in quarantine.
— cessation of self-destructive social trends linked with eco-social risks
of creating economic profit. This need is represented by the topos of
