Introduction

Social and human sciences are currently in a special position. On the one
hand, they are subject to frequent doubts and mistrust while on the other
hand, there is a view that the 21st century will be a century of social
and human sciences, addressing their importance in solving key cultural
and social issues of humanity. These disciplines, by means of their own
research methods, acquire information that helps them to understand the
world and the place of man in it; they make a significant contribution to
the formation of cultural memory or represent a means of orientation in
the varied pictures of the world.
In our social cognitive and evaluation connection to reality we can
observe the decreasing interest in human and social sciences. However, the
rejection of the importance of human sciences is based on a fundamental
misconception of facts. Society’s education and culture is a prerequisite
for the economic level of each country. Innovation is not only a matter
of technical importance, it is equally important to understand human cul-
tural behavior in the broadest possible context.
The publication contains a number of variable views on selected topics
from social, human and historical sciences that demonstrate the relevance
of the research in the area under consideration. Due to the variety of topics
in this publication, it is possible to encompass the widest possible area
of interest and to contribute to the completion of a more complex state
of research in the subject area. The authors of the publications are PhD
students of the Department of Archaeology, the Department of Ethnology
and Folklore, the Department of History and the Department of Culture
and Tourism Management at the Faculty of Arts at the University of
Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra.
