The man’s courage and valour in the biblical and contemporary times

Kaluzny R.

Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces

2018

Vol. 50, No. 4(190)

17--29

The article attempts to analyse and interpret the man’s behaviour (actions) in different situations of threat and in different historical epochs. These are behaviours which can be described as heroic, courageous, valorous and dauntless, aimed at defending other people and bringing help at the risk of endangering one’s own life and health. The analysis covered the helpful behaviour of the Good Samaritan and David’s defensive combat from the Biblical period and, from the contemporary times, a certain priest’s behaviour during the black smallpox epidemic in Wroclaw and Antoni Zdrojewski’s defensive combat during the Second World War.

Although it may be treated as an objective risk factor, threat is first of all a subjective category connected with the perception of the world around us as well as with people's social and cultural awareness. Thus individuals' ways of thinking and behaviour in particular situations depend not only on characteristics and features of objectively existing reality but mostly on the ways of its interpretation. An individual image of threat including the assessment of its probability and the depiction of consequence drama may incline a person to constructive or destructive preventive activities. They frequently multiply an objectively existing threat. Another factor affecting human reactions in a situation of threat is also the perception of own abilities how to cope with the danger that one is aware of. Selected conditions of threat perception presented in the article undermine deeply rooted, not only in everyday thinking, conviction that human cognitive processes are rational. This rationality frequently seems to be a desired state, whereas our actions in a situation of threat are based on various kinds of illusions and cognitive deformation.
