WHAT IS TOLERANCE AND RESPECT?

Tolerance and respect are fundamental values ​​related to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. Tolerance is mentioned in the preamble to the United Nations Charter. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights also begins by stating that all people are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Endowed with reason and conscience, they should act towards each other in a spirit of brotherhood. The UN Millennium Declaration confirms that tolerance, freedom and equality are fundamental values ​​necessary for international cooperation.

Declaration of Principles of Tolerance
UNESCO General Conference at its 28th session in 1995 adopted the Declaration of Principles of Tolerance. This initiative was caused by the growing phenomena of intolerance, violence, nationalism, racism and anti-Semitism, accompanied by marginalization and discrimination against minorities.
The promotion of tolerance and respect is essential in creating an atmosphere conducive to the acceptance of cultural diversity. Article 1 of the Declaration of Principles of Tolerance reads:
“Tolerance is respect, acceptance and recognition of the rich diversity of cultures around the world, our forms of expression and ways of being human. She is favored by knowledge, openness, communication and freedom of speech, conscience and faith. Tolerance is harmony in diversity. It is not only a moral obligation, but also a legal and political condition. Tolerance – the value that makes peace possible – contributes to replacing the culture of war with a culture of peace. ”

In the Declaration, the Member States defined the concept of tolerance. According to the records, tolerance is:

• respecting someone else’s rights and property;
• Recognition and acceptance of individual differences;
• The ability to listen, communicate and understand others;
• Valuing the diversity of cultures;
• Openness to other people’s thoughts and philosophy;
• Curiosity and not rejecting the unknown;

Recognition that no one has a monopoly on the truth.
In the UNESCO Declaration, Member States emphasize not only the need to combat intolerance and racism, but also the importance of cultural diversity.

On October 27, at the invitation of the School Council, as part of the project “Colors of Life”, Ms. Halina Jurkowska – Director of the Natural Medicine and Psychotherapy Center in Katowice and the publisher of the magazine “Closer to health, closer to nature” came to the youth of the Technical School No. 4 for Transport. Taking the action of the “pink ribbon”, the Director delivered a lecture to the students on the impact of nutrition on our health. She paid particular attention to contemporary civilization diseases, among them the disturbing phenomena of female oncological diseases, which have been intensified in recent years. She presented methods of preventing these diseases and indicated natural methods of preventing the escalation of cancer development, such as healthy eating, physical exercise, smart supplementation, avoiding stimulants and good mental condition. Everything was supported by an interesting presentation of slides and a reference to extensive scientific research on the subject. Young people listened to the lecture with great concentration, and then started the discussion, asking questions about the most intriguing issues. The meeting was held in a very cordial atmosphere and made everyone aware of the need for further meetings and lectures in the interest of young people’s health and development.

On October 22, 2021. Seniors and Seniors participated in group classes with a psychologist organized as part of the “E-Senior” project. During the meeting, the participants shared their observations, interests and reflections. These introductory activities served to establish closer contacts and build positive relationships in the group.

The European Seniors Day is celebrated on October 20. On this special day, we wish all the elderly only happy days, filled with health, joy and happiness. A lot of respect and love from loved ones. Let the well-being, smile on your face and energy accompany you every moment, and let the autumn of life inspire you to make your dreams come true and inspire you with optimism.
We also wish all of you that your mature age will be a time of activity, full of passion and possibilities, and at the same time a time of fulfillment, satisfaction and the feeling of finding the right place in your life.

Breast cancer prevention consists of screening tests (so-called screening), i.e. carrying out tests aimed at detecting the cancer when there are no symptoms of the disease, and taking active measures to detect the cancer as early as possible (secondary prevention).

Breast cancer diagnosed early can be successfully treated. The smaller the tumor or the detected lesion in the breast that is not palpable by manual examination, the greater the probability that it is a non-invasive (i.e. non-metastatic) type of cancer. Also, when an invasive cancer is detected, the smaller it is, the more likely it is that it has not yet metastasized to the lymph nodes, and the greater the possibility of a curable treatment.

The following tests are used to detect breast changes early:

• self-examination of the breast by a woman
• medical examination at each check-up at the family doctor and gynecologist
• breast ultrasound
• mammography
• participation in the Breast Cancer Early Detection Program
