This paper aims to reveal some dimensions of high school and university students’ locus of control. The main results from a survey conducted among a group of 68 high school students from the two schools in Bourgas and a group of 49 students from the Bourgas Free University have been discussed. Most of the high school and university students demonstrate internal locus of control. The latter is associated with higher academic achievements. The students coming from well off families demonstrate internal locus of control compared to the students from families with less economic resources.

The article considers the necessity of precision and continuing tuition for pedagogues which offers a process with the pedagogue’s own subjectivity and the opportunity for him to ask questions about the complexities while working with a certain child or class. The role of fairy tales for the psychological „growing up” of the child is discussed through the conceptions of S.Ferenczi and B.Bettelheim.

Human dignity is a concept which can hardly be confined to a unique field of inquiry, or be analyzed from a restricted scientific approach. In this paper I would like to approach the idea of human dignity through the lenses of economics and religion. The word “dignity” has wide and multiple applications, ranging in meaning from the concepts of freedom, reaching economic level by applying the idea of a welfare concept or feeling decent. Although, the term of dignity is not likely to be reduced to the economic arena, this paper draws attention—although not exclusively—to the terms of poverty and wealth. Poverty is generally regarded as important to human dignity, but what can be said about wealth? Considering the meaning of “poverty” and “wealth” in relation to human dignity, this research uses a general theological approach from the perspective of the Bible.
