1. Purpose This article aims to identify the important role of family in shaping a civil society and citizenship, especially regarding the younger generation. 2. Methodology The article presents the results of the discussions at the conference entitled 'Time for growth. Man and business in a civil society'. The subject of this discussion was the role of family in shaping a civil society and the values of citizenship. Also a diagnostic survey was used, entitled: 'Are we a civil society', which was conducted among 441 respondents. 3. Findings The family is a social structure, which should be particularly protected and supported, especially when its operation is changed. The Polish family is currently in a specific situation. On the one hand, it can be seen moving away from the values of a traditional family and, on the other hand, it tries to adjust to the modern society. Over the centuries much has changed in the family model. Basic changes in the family structure can be attributed to the transformations in contemporary society. Nowadays, the family has limited control. Modern living conditions, particularly in urban areas, are not helpful when it comes to parents having any control over their children. This contributes to the anonymity of individuals, to prolonged periods of time spent outside the home, etc. 4. Originality The topic that is discussed here is very important, especially in the context of the ongoing discussion on the definition of media, the role of family and social support. A civil society must have its origin in the family.

This paper addresses the question what is a living wage and how it differs from the general definition of remuneration, described as just and fair remuneration for work. The appropriate level of living wage for Poland is discussed. The idea of treating the remuneration as a show of solidarity, preventing poverty, as well as enabling families to develop and raise children, is presented. Treating remuneration as a living wage requires the guarantee of sufficient pay for the family father. The discrepancy between the remuneration in Poland and sufficient living wage is shown. An alternative point of view about remuneration, stating that the amount of remuneration should reflect the value of the work performed, regardless of who performed the work, is presented.

Modern determinants of risks to the social development of teenagers – the role of mass media and the phenomenon of social maladjustment. In Poland and elsewhere, the number of behavioral cases, commonly classified as pathological, among young people has significantly increased in recent years. Many therapeutic and children and adolescent care institutions devote their efforts to fight against what is commonly known as a developmental pathology in adolescents. It is an extremely difficult task as the efforts of specialists to fight pathologies coincide with an increasing social fear and sense of danger caused by very same pathologies. This paper presents an analysis of the socialization process of children and teenagers that takes place in various social groups, especially within the family. The author analyses the role of mass media in shaping ethical, moral and esthetical criteria of young people. Moreover, the analysis points out the loneliness of young people confronted with excess of information. Adequate understanding, hierarchical ranking and evaluation of the objectivity of information received may exceed emotional and cognitive abilities of adolescents. Nowadays, young people are faced with a variety of complex problems. Therefore, it is important that adolescents are able to adequately evaluate the quality of information they receive to be able to protect themselves against inadequate influence of the social environment.

Spirituality has changed and got a new meaning recently. In every person's life a demand for spirituality and rituals appears. The question is how people treat this phenomenon in everyday life. Because of the effects of secularization the previous dominance of religion declined and new waves of religious movements were established. The authoresses aim is to give an outline of what religion means for today's youth and what opportunities of religious behaviour they can choose. Furthermore, they would like to show how religiousness as a main field in the value system may provide security and guidelines in life; and the way how these may be connected to healthy adaptation in the family. The present study reports on secondary school students' religious denominations, their religiousness and religious attendance with attention put on socio-demographic and socio-economic background. The authoresses attempt to reveal the connection between respect of parental values, parental control and social support regarding religiousness.

The problem of homelessness is not new, however it was only after 1989 that research regarding this issue started in Poland. Only very sparse publications connected with this subject matter appeared in preceding years. That situation was caused predominantly by the tendency to conceal the existence of certain social issues. The research related to this significant phenomenon conducted in the period of less than 20 years turned out to be extremely difficult, time and work consuming and very costly. A preliminary survey of the subject related literature showed that a research connected with family homelessness is undertaken very rarely. This phenomenon is a dangerous experience for an individual, but also the issue of family homelessness is becoming an alarming problem. Family's life is disturbed, which often leads to its disintegration. When a family faces homelessness, children are often placed in welfare institutions. Homelessness has negative impact on children's growth and education. Moreover it ruins physical and mental well being of the family members. In relation with the occurring problems, the herein article attempts an analysis of the issue of family homelessness. The analysis focused on the socio-demographic image of homeless families, causes of the problem, place of stay, ways for providing for the family, and forms of assistance for homeless families.

In interwar Czechoslovakia the arrival of young adepts to the legal profession was influenced not only by the objective position of advocacy in society determined by legal regulations and by economic situation of the lawyers or perception of this profession by the public, but also by the family environment. The specific features of Slovakia were a relatively small territory, the ideological closeness of the profession´s members, which appeared already in the Hungarian period, especially among nation-oriented lawyers, and the fact that law offices were established directly in homes of the lawyers, where their families lived. These circumstances also contributed to the establishment of family relations among lawyers. Lawyer´s families were connected by marriages of sisters and daughters of lawyers with their colleagues. The lawyers employed in their offices not only their sons, but also their other relatives. In some cases, several siblings worked as lawyers. The most important Slovak lawyer´s families were the Mudroňs, the Halašas, the Daxners, the Fajnors, the Jesenskys and the Bazovskys. Many renowned pre-revolution lawyers transferred their legal practices to their sons (e.g. J. Dérer, C. Horváth, S. Medvecký, P. Jamnický, A. Pivko, E. Stodola) or nephews (e.g. I. Markovič, M. Mičura, D. Okáli). The lawyer´s profession was later transferred from fathers to daughters and marriages between female lawyers (articled clerks) and male lawyers were concluded – they often performed the legal profession together. Lawyer´s families in Slovakia in the interwar period were an important bearer of traditional values of the legal profession and contributed to its development.

Trauma and posttraumatic adaptation are topics which have been frequently discussed in a literature recently. One of the most important factors that influences posttraumatic adaptation is social support. However this notion and its mechanism of protection against posttraumatic consequences still poses a lot of questions. The aim of this study is to show the role of support received from a family in adaptation after trauma and its influence on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present study indicates that the adequacy of support is a good means of protection against psychological consequences after trauma. According to this research, not social support but its adequacy to current needs helps in better coping with trauma. Whereas support received from a family influences posttraumatic cognitions. People who receive, not only perceive, support from relatives after trauma have more rational cognitions about the world and themselves, in comparison to people who have less received support.

The intention of this article is to analyse the structure of the population and family farmsteads at the end of the eighteenth century in three Uniate (Greek Catholic) parishes situated in the north-eastern part of the land of Chelm. The results were compared with findings relating to Roman Catholic parishes in the western parts of the Kingdom of Poland, primarily in Greater Poland. The study was based on parish population polls conducted by the local rectors in 1791–1792 upon the request of the Civilian-Military Order Commissions. The Greek Catholic parishes revealed a population structure different than the one in their Roman Catholic counterparts; the same holds true for peasant farmsteads with a similar number of persons per single farm, i.e. 6–7. There is a distinctive connection between the considerable participation of relatives within the structure of the Uniate peasant household and the small number of servants and tenant farmers, almost absent in the examined parishes. In the studied community tenant farmers constituted 2,7% of the population, servants – 2%, and relatives – 33,6%, while in parishes situated in the west tenant farmers totalled 7,3–16,4%, servants – 12,5–24,4%, and relatives – 4,5-14,1% of the whole population. The large participation of relatives in the employment structure of the farmsteads in the eastern parishes unquestionably reduced the need for a hired labour force, while the care for and protection of old relatives, incapable of working, decreased the percentage of tenant farmers in the whole population. The presence of numerous relatives in peasant farmsteads denoted also a small number of nuclear families, which in the examined parishes totalled 41,3% of the whole population, while in the western parishes was never lower than 62%.

Household work has been often seen as a mere technique for fulfilling basic needs of households. This paper questions that reductionism in analysis of domestic activities. By presenting the works of Lévi-Strauss and Douglas the paper focuses on some symbolic properties of the household tasks. It shows how these activities express relations between nature and culture, give information about social categories and their boundaries as well as about exclusion and inclusion of individuals within and outside families. It is proposed that from the point of view of everyday life various social meanings of housework might be revealed. Domestic tasks are thus described as culturally relative activities whose social definition differs among families and phases of family course. In the conclusion it is suggested that such research approach could also contribute to the study of gender aspects of domestic labour.

The study is devoted to the models of family systems and styles of upbringing. The author attempts to show to what extent preferences for a set of definite beliefs regarding family relationships plays a part in implementing a specific style of upbringing in the family. The aim of the study is to clarify whether the implicit model of beliefs about family corresponds with the explicit model, and insofar as these models do not correspond, to discover with which types of family systems the disharmony of models is associated. The author considers that the specific communication pattern plays an important role in the relation between implicit and explicit models of beliefs about family. Research reveals that a symmetrical communication pattern is characteristic of the kind of family environment where harmony reigns between the implicit and explicit models. Conversely, an asymmetrical communication pattern corresponds to disharmony of the parent´s explicit statements and inconsistency in the management of upbringing, which leads to a mixed mode of upbringing that was recorded, which means that in the framework of social interaction the family systems do not function in their pure form. At the individual level the author´s hypothesis was not confirmed: implicit and explicit models of beliefs about family were found to be in harmony.

Family may be defined as a relatively durable group of persons which is based on blood relations, is caused by marriage eventually by adoption and its main functions are reproduction, upbringing, but also carry over cultural models. Meaning of marriage institution is very often discussed topic not only in context of this definition. These discussions are provoked not only by opinions and questions in terms of marriage as an outworn institution, but also by the results of demographic statistic. In these results we can see trends of decreasing nuptiality, perhaps even weakening of family in the basic word sense (low fertility in general, growth of proportion of extramarital born children etc.). Introductory part of this article affords view of continuance of nuptiality during the twentieth century and also outline of some aspects that contribute to current nuptiality situation. The second part is focused on attitudes of Czech public towards marriage and on their ideas about importance and sense of marriage as well.

In the presented study we focus on the research on the work-family conflict using ESS data from Round 2. We deal with the group of Slovak working respondents with family responsibilities (N=193). In the introduction we briefly define work-family conflict and its predictors, then values, particularly human values according to the Schwartz theory and their relationship to work-family conflict. Results of this research indicate that work interference with family (WIF) was more prevalent than family interference with work (FIW). There were no significant gender differences in either of the directions of the conflict. When we compared groups with low and high levels of WIF, we found significant differences only in well-being. These two groups significantly differed also in some types of values, such as power, achievement, self-direction and safety.

In contemporary societies religion has still a great influence on the culture and the way of organizing social life. Consequently family, its structure, norms, functions and roles are determined by the religion and its values. The paper presents the role of marriage in the Christian and Islamic societies. Whereas for Christians the celibate plays a key role as it is seen as the most desirable way of life, Islam religion does not recommend the state of womanlessness. However, the status of women in both Christian and Muslim families is shaped by patriarchal attitudes rooted in the social values. The authoress discusses pre-marital institution, e. g. an institution of 'mahr' - a gift of money or valuables given by the bride's family to that of the groom to permit their marriage which serves aftewards as a private savings of the wife in the case of divorce. Furthermore, she compares ways of upbringing of children and attitudes to divorce in both religions. Finally, she considers both religions similar in their concept of family due to their common judaic origin. (http://www.genderonline.cz/view.php?cisloclanku=2005120101)

The paper has considered patterns of household production and distribution in today's village economy and put them in relation to the consumption sphere, labour and interaction between villagers with regard to family land. The kind of choices that people follow are dictated by considerations that go beyond the mere search for profit or a standard of well-being. It is in the ongoing tension between the social and economic dimension of these choices that the meaning of 'household economy' must be sought. Anthropological accounts of peasant economies and their attempts to categorise household practices that otherwise cannot be accounted for by classic economic parameters provide important insights into the family as a basic unit of production, consumption and reproduction. In the case of postsocialist societies these approaches fit very well due to the widespread diffusion of secondary economic activities originating in the late socialist period. In the village, secondary economic practices based on farming household plots and gardens can be traced back to the 1960s.During socialism the importance of managing these plots lay not simply in the villagers' desire to complement their household incomes, but it constituted a matter of social status in the village. However, after socialism this picture has changed slightly. Household farming has remained a crucial economic activity for villagers, but with an increased accent on its economic necessity. Food produced in gardens and through raising animals is consumed within the family and provides important reserves through the whole year. Furthermore, there are families who do sell part of their products grown in small family plots and in gardens. This clearly goes beyond the spirit of a 'subsistence economy' as defined by classic anthropological accounts of household economies almost everywhere in the world. As in cases where gardening and farming on household plots provide important supplements to the family's economy, the management of land, resources and work are conveyed into social strategies even in households where the need for additional sources of domestic provision is not desperately felt. These strategies are aimed at strengthening social ties and trust within the family group. These ties are dictated by precise considerations of the tasks and roles of family members which operate to construct rules of behaviour, obligations and expectations. At this point trust becomes the factor underpinning people's relatedness and the reliability of family members. The social use of land and the sharing of work are two of the several adaptation strategies that people have adopted in order to cope with the changing and unstable reality of Central Eastern Europe.

The status of grandparents has not been separately treated by Slovak ethnological literature. The article is dealing with this issue based on the Bratislava model. It shows the persistence of many traditional norms characterizing family relationships in the urban social environment, including those with grandparents. It's obvious, that the human potential of an urban community is on its shapes in close symbiosis with the rural background setting.

This study aims to examine more closely the child´s conception of kinship and thus to clarify, particularly for the adult reader, how children perceive the family and kinship, how they construct their idea of the abstract kinship network, whom they include among their nearest kin, and why. The work should also to some extent fill blank spaces in the series of research projects on the family whose scale of respondents is aimed purely at child informants, because in acquiring the necessary data I cooperated with and made use of the knowledge of 10 children in pre-school age (5-7). Results confirm that children have all the assumed knowledge about kinship and the ability to employ kinship terms correctly in practice, and they make use of this ability. In conclusion, I can only hope that my work will stimulate others also to do research with children.
