Sokol and the Relevance of Its Democratic Tradition
Neudorflová, Marie
The sport organization Sokol was built till the end of the 1930s on pozitive values relating the healthy life-style, cultivation of individual character, and responsible attitudes to society. These values had been very relevant to the advancement of democracy and democratic political culture in Czech society. Considering the present deficit of cultivating democratic values and skills, the renewed Sokol and its tradition seems to be undervalued possibility for the advancement of national integrity as a condition for a functionning democracy.

Entities less integrated face a number of extra problems when trying to maintain a democracy.
