After obtaining the necessary data, the interviews were transcribed and then evaluated by means of cluster analysis. The research has revealed that parenthood is for today's young adults the embodiment of love, a new relationship is developed and experiences are transferred to a new generation, a person acquires a vision for the future, sees the success of his/her child in the growth of his/her life. Today's young people perceive marriage from a purely practical point of view, especially in easier communication in the authorities. Individuals of the young generation stated that it is not essential for them that the child be born into a marriage, they consider much more important the fact that the child grow up in a complete family.

Milk and dairy products and their perception by young adults
Valchová, Jana ; Křížová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Hásková, Aneta (referee)
Early adulthood is a period of peak bone mass formation, which is one of the basics in prevention of osteoporosis onset in older age. Milk and dairy products intake as a source of well-absorbed calcium is still very substantial at this age, as it was in the previous period of adolescence. However, it is also often a time of finding a person's own diet and a time of eliminating certain food groups from the diet, which is often due to succumbuing to widespread myths. Thus, milk is one of the most controversial foods for the public. The aim of the questionnaire research, which was part of the thesis, was to find out, how many young adults believe and succumb to these myths. Questions were asked about eating habits and respondents' views on the health benefits of milk. The survey shows that a significant percentage of them are misinformed by such myths and exclude milk from their diet, often for no reason. Although campaigns to promote milk consumption are still ongoing and have undoubtedly had a positive effect on public perception of the benefits of milk, it is certain that this activity needs to be continued and myths (not only) about milk still need to be debunked. keywords: milk, dairy products, early adulthood, myths, peak bone mass, calcium
