The view of primary school teachers on current young generation
PEŠKOVÁ, Petra
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to bring the opinion of youth closer and to map the rural and town teacher's opinion of the current young generation. The purpose of the work is to clarify the values perceived by teachers among young people and teacher's knowledge and understanding of attitudes and subcultures of the current young generation. This bachelor thesis includes two parts, practical and theoretical. The theoretical part of the work is based on current literature and deals with the following topics which include primary school teachers, the characteristics of the young generation and the value orientation of young people, where the influence of modern technologies and of the family on the formation of the value orientation of youth is mentioned. The topic of youth subculture contains e.g. the riskiness of subcultures and the post-subcultural era. In the practical part of the work, the author uses her quality research to map how selected primary school teachers from the town and the countryside perceive the value orientation of youth and how they approach their subcultures.

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.
