Selected youth fashion styles related with risk behaviour
RIGANOVÁ, Veronika
The title of my thesis is ?Selected Fashion Styles of Young People Associated with Risk Behaviour?. For young people, their appearance is very important. The appearance is a means of expressing identity; in this way, teenagers tell the people around whom they feel to be. As young people want to differentiate from their peers and adults, they express this not only by a certain style of clothing but also behaviour. Thanks to this, young people often enter different subcultures. A subculture can be described as culture of a sub-group that is more or less distinct from the dominant, mainstream and ?official? culture. A subculture consists of groups of people sharing particular values and norms in which they differ from the dominant or mainstream society. Various kinds of risk behaviour are often associated with subcultures. Risk behaviour is a phenomenon threatening the community across all cultures. It threatens the healthy development of juveniles in terms of biological, psychological and social development. The objective of my thesis is to describe selected fashion styles of young people and their specific characteristics in relation to risk behaviour of individual subcultures. The theoretical part describes selected youth subcultures, their history, lifestyles, values, and typical clothing. It also briefly describes the types of risk behaviour that are met in those subcultures. The practical part defines the objectives of the thesis and it describes the actual research, including the comparisons of the results obtained with the findings of other authors mentioned in the theoretical part. The actual research was conducted in a qualitative form using the method of questioning in the form of semi-structured interviews with respondents from youth subcultures. The results of the thesis make it obvious that risky behaviour does occur in the selected subcultures. In all the subcultures, the following can be seen: substance abuse, it was mainly alcohol and marijuana; however, marijuana was not in the emo subculture. In the skinhead subculture, some respondents reported right-wing extremism and violent behaviour. In contrast, in the punk subculture, a tendency to left-wing extremism and violent behaviour was much smaller. As far as hip hop and graffiti subcultures are concerned, only one respondent from the selected sample does graffiti but has not had trouble with the police. It can therefore be concluded that hip-hop and graffiti have not as much in common as it was in the beginning, when the style began to penetrate the country. In the gothic subculture, it was not confirmed that self-mutilation exists as a norm in the subculture. This subculture showed, more than the other subcultures, body-modifying practices but there was also Satanism; however, the respondents refused any connection with the violent practices that are associated with Satanism (cruelty to animals, etc.). Self-mutilation was confirmed in the emo subculture. Three respondents out of four have had some experience with it. Two of them started self-mutilation because of the ?emo rules? that they tried to follow when they started out with this style. All the respondents from the subculture add that self-mutilation has nothing to do with the style, self-mutilation is not one of subcultural norms, and they express opposition to these so-called ?emo rules?. It should be noted that these ?emo rules? were created by a person who did not belong to the subculture. All the respondents, who participated in the research, mention greater or lesser problems because of their style also in their everyday life (school, work, family). I think it?s mainly due to biased information from media. The results of my thesis can serve as a basis for further research, they can be used in teaching these issues and, of course, they can be used in the context of effective primary prevention.

Implementation of prevention of socio-pathologic behaviour in the second grade of primary schools in Jihlava
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Gabriela
The topic of my bachelor thesis has been focused on ways how there is realized a prevention of risky behavior on the second level of elementary schools in Jihlava. Both theoretically and practically it deals with aspects concerning the system of a realizing the prevention at this target group. The prevention of the risky behavior has been a very much debated issue today and the primary prevention is strongly emphasized from the kindergartens through elementary schools to vocational and secondary schools. Currently there does not work any uniform system of the primary prevention of the risky behavior for all elementary schools in Jihlava and there is not any comprehensive survey about organizations and institutions, established in Jihlava, offering preventive programs. A goal of the thesis was especially to find out most information about the way how the prevention in Jihlava was realized. Partial goals were findings of facts which prevention programs exist and how they have been realized, than to discover an attitude of pupils from the second level at elementary schools in Jihlava toward the risky behavior and the prevention and if the preventive programs are attractive for them. The last partial goal was to find out whether there has been created a comprehensive system of preventive programs. To achieve those goals, I chose a qualitative type of the research and a semi-structured interview method with open and half-open questions and a method of a group discussion. The research was conducted largely in the elementary schools in Jihlava, where I managed to get the consent to the research in 6 from the total number of 10 elementary schools. The target groups were chosen three in total. The first one consisted of school prevention methodologists from the research sample, the second one was formed of the ninth-grade pupils of elementary schools from the research sample and the third one was composed of representatives of organizations and institutions realizing the preventive programs in elementary schools in Jihlava. There emerged current problems of the region. Foremost it is a lack of funds, a busyness of the school prevention methodologists, who have not got enough time to plan and to realize the quality and effective prevention. I consider as the most fundamental problem a mutual non-cooperation among subjects realizing programs of the primary prevention in the elementary schools in Jihlava. In conclusion of my thesis I have outlined several solutions of these problems.

Informedness of primary school pupils in the town of Milevsko about HIV/AIDS
VINKLEROVÁ, Lucie
AIDS is a pandemic disease known for almost three decades, and the most effective prevention is general informedness and responsible sexual behaviour. Especially young people should know as much as possible about the disease to be able to protect themselves effectively. The objective of this thesis is to find the sources of information about HIV/AIDS and the level of knowledge about this disease in adolescent population or pupils in the highest grades of Milevsko primary schools. The theoretical part of this thesis focuses on adolescents, their life style and especially the awakening interest in sexuality and their sexual behaviour. I try to find the effects that may influence these sexual aspects, including sex education at school and in the family. I deal with the influence of information about HIV/AIDS on sexual behaviour of young people. I also briefly describe AIDS prevention programs for adolescents. My research conducted in the questionnaire form shows that pupils are generally informed about the issues of HIV/AIDS; however, certain factors must be addressed in more detail. A positive finding is that up to two thirds of the respondents believe that the information about HIV/AIDS will affect their future sexual behaviour to avoid infection. However, mere informedness is not enough to prevent the spread of the infection. It is also necessary to implement prevention programs, to provide quality information within sex education, but also to direct the public, through the media, towards responsible sexual behaviour of individuals. Finally, it is important to ensure and promote an atmosphere in society that will be positive and that will not help spread the infection.

Květon, Petr ; Jelínek, Martin ; Vobořil, Dalibor ; Balaštíková, Veronika
In the presented study, 3 types of respondents were identified according to the frequency of smoking cigarettes: smokers, non smokers, and occasional smokers. It was found that they differ in the type of attended school and also in school motivation, but not in proportion of males and females. When considering parental styles, smokers were characterized by low consistency, warmness, and involvement. Parental control was not found to be important. Smoking of cigarettes is related to alcohol, marijuana, and other substances use. Interestingly enough, most of the cigarettes smokers (81%) were found to be also repetitive users of marijuana
