People at disadvantage: historical overview and the changing of social acceptance

BOBOK-BELÁNYI, Beáta

Könyvtári Figyelő (Library Review) New Series 13. (Vol. 49.) No. 3. 2003. pp.   521 –  526.

The author presents the notion of social disadvantage in the context of social history, dealing with the questions of ways of life, philosophical systems and human attitudes across several historical periods (Ancient times, Middle Age etc). It gives an overview of attempts for establishing social equality over more recent times and analyses today’s situation. Social disadvantage is always relative, and instead of trying to compensate the disadvantages, the problems can be counterbalanced by greater solidarity and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone.
