Safety education in the face of threats to human security

Abstract

The article provides information on relationships and dependencies between education and human security. The author tries to combine these two areas (levels) of meaning into one whole, giving them a uniform form of definition – the concept of safety education. This concept includes elements such as values, attitudes, human awareness, counteracting threats, a sense of security or institutionalism. The content of the article consists of two main parts: determinants of the safety education process and the essential social and cultural threats to human existence. Much attention has been devoted to the risks to personal security. The main idea of the article proves that personal (human) safety together with a sense of peace and stagnation as well as structural safety have a fundamental impact on the sense of security of individuals.
