Dehumanization of Refugees in Media as a Case of Moral Disengagement

Original language description

Through an analysis of selected articles, the study demonstrates the dehumanization as a discursive strategy which may lead to moral disengagement. The presented analysis shows how particular discursive strategies in analysed text support the process ofmoral disengagement in the society and potentially may lead to a justification of reprehensible conduct and mass aggression against refugees. Afterwards, this is ethically evaluated through the perspectives of deontological and consequential theories andsome recommendations are offered. The study follows the idea of media being a tool for the development of democratic values, such as the humanization of refugees and their personalization in individual stories which would present their lives and suffering to media percipients.
