  abstract  = {Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine kritische Analyse zum bisherigen AIDS-Diskurs dar und soll aus sozialethischer und sozialpsychologischer Perspektive einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Pr{\"a}ventivethik leisten. Die Untersuchung versteht sich damit als eine {\"u}ber die bisherigen AIDS-Aufkl{\"a}rungskampgagen hinausgehende Erg{\"a}nzung; es geht um eine Politik der Anerkennung, Gleichstellung und Entkriminalisierung von Betroffenen. In der vorliegenden Analyse geht es um die Haltung der {\"O}ffentlichkeit zu AIDS, d.h. um den Einfluss diverser Institutionen auf die Vorstellungen, Einstellungen (Wertkonzepte und Deutungen), welche die Wahrnehmung und Beurteilung von HIV und AIDS beeinflussen, bzw. steuern. Deren Wirkm{\"a}chtigkeit auf die Betroffenen steht im Zentrum der Analyse. In diese Perspektive ist eine kritische Selbstreflexion religi{\"o}ser Motivation eingeschlossen, AIDS zu thematisieren. Im ersten Hauptteil (Kap. 2.) wird, mittels einer Erhebung der BZgA (Bundeszentrale f{\"u}r gesundheitliche Aufkl{\"a}rung) aus dem Jahre 2000, die empirische Basis gelegt. Der zweite Hauptteil (Kap. 3.) der Arbeit enth{\"a}lt die ethische Reflexion der HIV/AIDS-Problematik. Im letzten Abschnitt (Kap. 4.) sind wesentliche Ergebnisse der Untersuchung festgehalten und Schlussfolgerungen formuliert.},

  abstract  = {Human society understands itself as a place where man enjoys an authentic human existence. In the society therefore, man should have all the basic necessities of life. The universal destination of all the created goods as God intends it, is for the good use of man in order to live a fulfilled human life. In so far as, man is the source, the focus and the end of all economic and social life, this must be respected. In order to enhance his dignity as the imago Dei , man has natural right to all the created goods. However, there are tools that make this situation possible. One of such tools is governance which is the means of organising the created things in the society for the common good. The ultimate goal and purpose of the society is the good of man. If the goods are not brought to this use, there exist socio-ethical problems. There are so many socio-ethical ills in the world today, because of the denial of the created good to some people by the organisers of the society. The social ills include armed robbery, corruption of all sorts, official lies and deceit. These constitute a complex social problem as regards their justification in the society. Subsequently, of all these social ills in the world today, corruption is the most devastating. Most people acknowledge this fact, but some others see it only as a means of survival, especially in countries that seem to appreciate or favour rigid capitalism, whereby wealth is power. Corruption is a common phenomenon in human society, and it is as old as the human society. Otive Igbuzor confirms it thus, "Corruption is as old as the society and cuts across nations, cultures, races and classes of people." Corruption knows no bound. At any rate, corrupt practices vary from country to country and even within a country it also varies from section to section in its intensity and propensity. However, the manner with which it is manifesting itself presently accounts for its recent addition to the dictionary of the most global social problems. Unfortunately, nobody admits that he is corrupt and yet corruption as a social problem is widespread. In this light, Lightowler Brain observes that, "Worldwide corruption is by its nature generally hidden, but nevertheless insidious and as potentially dangerous to society." It affects the society adversely, and therefore leads to misery of some members of the society. In this line, Peter Eigen argues, "Corruption is a daunting obstacle to sustainable development, and results in a major loss of public funds needed for basic necessities of life, both in developed and developing countries." These are the devastating effects of corruption. The word corruption provokes an active discussion and condemnation among all classes of people in the society. It can be situated and discussed in any discipline but more especially in Social Ethics because this discipline deals with the interaction of human beings in the society. Problems in life are divided into private problems and social problems. Julius O. Onwuka, differentiates the two thus, "When a situation affects members of the society adversely leading to misery, regret, despair, it becomes a social problem. On the contrary, when a problem is suffered by an individual alone, without other members of the society being affected, this is a personal problem." From Onwuka, I understand that, social problem is more problematic than personal problem, because it concerns more than one person. Social problems are seen in the societies of human beings where the basic necessities of life are denied some people by corrupt organisers of the society.},

  abstract  = {This paper is concerned with the rights of refugees. The refugee issue has been an acutely charged item on the political agenda for several years. Although the great waves of influx have flattened out, people are continually venturing into Europe. Europe's handling of refugees has been subject to strong criticism, and the accusation that various actions contradict internationally agreed law is particularly serious. It remains a question of how to respond appropriately to the influx of people fearing for their lives. This paper examines empirically how young people from different denominations in Germany (n = 2022) and how Roman Catholics from 10 countries (n = 5363) evaluate refugee rights. It also investigates whether individual religiosity moderates the influence of denomination or national context. The results show that there are no significant differences between respondents from different denominations, but there are significant differences between respondents from different countries. However, religiosity was not found to moderate the influence of denomination or national context. These findings suggest that attitudes towards refugee rights depend more on the national context in which people live rather than on their religious affiliation or individual religiosity.},
