The social policy in Greece is based on the state compulsory social security system and on the state health service. Family benefits, senior citizens' benefits, disability benefits, maternity allowances and unemployment benefits are also the responsibility of the state. Educational policy is based on the functioning of a centralized state education system. Social policy has underestimated the role of human capital. The article puts forward a thesis that, among other things, these determinants have conditioned the problems of the state's economic development. Thus, this paper raises the issue of Greek social policy in the context of the state's economic crisis.

In the modern world protecting the right to life encounters various obstacles. Personalistic ethics encouraging attitudes pro vita is also taking the dialogue with contemporary philosophical and political currents, including those that do not accept the integral concept of man, but rather they are in favor of his reductionist vision, which in turn it lead to reduced ability to protect human rights, despite their proclamation as the rights of individuals. Appearing in this position „anthropological error”, it also leads to a reductionist vision of social structures such as family, society, nation or state. Moreover, such a vision of man and the world around him, it also determines the constitutional dimension of the state. Consequently, this leads to the creation and operation of various forms of democracy that instead create conditions for legal protection of the right to life from conception to natural death, legalize abortion and euthanasia. This is a serious contemporary threat to the right to life.
