The intervention of a medical team in the family life, by providing medical assistance within the limits of the administration of fertility drugs or surgical interventions did not raise major ethical dilemmas, since this interference in the private life is seen as necessary for a higher purpose (securing a more important right), namely the right to have children naturally (and not only through adoption). The human rights system requires the exclusion of any discrimination in the treatment of citizens when their fundamental rights are recognized and defended, but the new reproductive technologies, before discussing equitable access to resources, raise much more important issues, such as the recognition or the non-recognition of some new rights, which technology makes possible (or brings to the fore).

Since the ancient times, the birth of a child has been a special event for the child's family and from a social viewpoint. It is simplistic to consider the reproduction as an event that belongs exclusively to the private life of the couple because it is considered that there has always been an interest on the part of society regarding the context in which its future members come into the world. The issue of the reproductive rights is of particular relevance in this day and age, especially in the context of the new reproductive technologies, which transform the issue from one that is already complex and sensitive, to one that urgently requires the clear establishment of some fundamental axes at the level of the principles of law; however, we must appreciate that the foundation of any legal protection is precisely the recognition by the legislator of these rights. Therefore, the question from which we start in our approach is whether we can recognize the per se existence of reproductive rights, and if so, what would be their basis and the reasons that could lead to the recognition of such rights. The subsequent questions that arise are the following: what are the limits of these rights, who are their holders and what is the type of legal protection that must be granted to them?

The evolution of the medical technologies has also transformed the surrogate, from the traditional surrogate to the gestational surrogate, from the surrogate with the embryo of the infertile couple to the surrogate with embryos from donors or with embryos obtained from gametes taken from donors (surrogate mother or another person), from carrying a pregnancy by a woman of biological reproductive age and up to carrying a pregnancy by a woman past the reproductive age, all these stages or forms of surrogacy imply various debates in the medical, bioethical and, of course, human rights literature. As the forms of surrogacy diversified, the multitude of rights that had to be balanced (of the infertile couple, of the parents, of the surrogate mother, of the embryo in vitro or of the embryo transplanted into the uterus) were also increasingly difficult to quantify, to define as legal and to keep in a fair balance.

The concept of autonomy has a long way to go as it is used as a synonym for the terms self-government or self-determination (Crudu, 2007). This concept is placed in the context of debates on morality, bioethics, law or political philosophy, and it also appeals to self-awareness, to the right of the individual to live life freely, in his own way, provided it does not harm other people. In this paper we will bring to the fore the Kantian perspective of the concept of autonomy, while making the connection with the concept of freedom.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the organizational culture within the business environment. The paper analyzes the ethical criteria of the entrepreneurs and the way they relate to the consumer, as well as the reinforcement of the moral values so that the final result of the economic activity is represented by sustainability and economic profit. We thought it would be important to point out that promoting an ethical firm can ensure the well-needed trust capital in a constantly changing society. In this context, corporate responsibility is a key element that ensures both the sustainability of the company as well as the sustainability of the relations with the business partners. In our view, a strong corporate culture must integrate ethics and responsibility in all its activities, since the focus is often laid on obtaining profit, not on the values that should lead the organization towards success over a long period of time. Since our society provides both positive and negative information regarding any company or organization, the focus should be laid increasingly more on the ethics and responsibility of the human resources in regard to the external environment of the company. We thought it would be appropriate to bring up these issues since the issue of building an organizational culture is at a very early stage in our country, and most entrepreneurs only aim at obtaining short-term profit. The fees and taxes are high and the thick legislation often does not provide alternatives; therefore, one must take into account the fact that the real profit is not represented by the short-term benefits, but rather by the benefits obtained in a constant manner over medium-long periods of time.

The human society evolves and develops according either to intrinsic (natural) laws and to so-called laws of motion imposed by the challenges, impulses, came from the actions of different components of it. The analysis conducted in this paper is considered as a precursor of the sequences of the human activities, or humanity general speaking, from ancient times, through the present times and towards the new trends in the theory of knowledge, in the manner of the discovery of what is "beyond" ("trans") humanity and the implications in the day-to-day life. Even this process is declining today, it is very important, not only for the pastoral and rural traditions, but also for the health status of population. Eco and bio-products from healthy livestock, living in healthy natural environment, that is on way to go in order to preserve life and health of the people. We've questioned also aspects of the superior level of transhumance: people migration, as a pulse motion and its impact on the daily facts and even some remarks on the refugees as ultimate stage of the migration (with intention to establish and work in the new locations).

During the last decades, the term postmodernity has been highly invoked, on the one hand, or ignored, on the other hand. It is a term that can be found in the writings of various philosophers and sociologists, and is almost ignored and less meaningful within the economic thinking. At first view and analysis, postmodernity is the successor of the modern age, modernity in other words. However, the concept has much deeper meanings; it regards the future, foreshadowing the new realities of today's world, which are very complex and dynamic, and come under endogenous and exogenous influences, activities and issues that are permanently under the influence of multiple and multidimensional challenges [7]. In fact, the period of globalization, of the new trends of the revolutionary ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), is believed to overlap the period of postmodernism.From the philosophical point of view, but also in consonance with the economic life and realities, the individuals and entities of any nature should be characterized by adaptability, the ability to respond promptly and appropriately to the impulses and reactions that affect that system.

Sociology is a discipline that helps us understand the social reality, the institutions, the deviance, the delinquency, and so on. As it is considered to be an important field especially nowadays, Antonio Sandu through his work "Introduction to Sociology" acquaints us with a series of fundamental concepts of this field, by bringing sociology to the level of socio-human disciplines that must be studied not only by a social category, namely the students, but by all those interested in this topic. In this paper we will review the book "Introduction to Sociology" by Antonio Sandu.

The supervision of the social services is highlighted in the literature through a series of practices specific to the field of social services. There must always be a relationship between the supervisor and the supervisee in order to ensure qualitative actions, but also in order to improve the characteristics of this relationship. The author Elena Unguru brings to the forefront a new approach in her doctoral thesis, published as a book with a title "Construcția socială a supervizării în asistența socială" [Social construction of supervision in the social work], by Lumen Publishing House from Iași, Romania, in 2019.
