The aim of this thesis is therefore to try to define the habits of adolescents in terms of physical activity, sleep and media consumption, and how these aspects are interconnected, and whether adolescents perceive this interconnection.

Digital media and their effects on presence socially pathological phenomena on children.
PODROUŽKOVÁ, Nikola
Currently, digital media affect life of every individual. In many ways, this kind of media is taken as the support of our lives but they may encounter some risks when being used for a long time. This bachelor thesis demonstrates that digital media has a significant negative impact on individual behaviour, communication and social interactions in society. Inappropriate use of this type of media may lead to addiction, which can be compared to addiction to narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The human brain when under pressure does not develop and forms no memory traces significantly it affects learning. Insomnia, depression, obesity these are all negative consequences of human organism when overusing digital media. If children have to face these issues, their development is greatly threatened - both mentally and physically. No wonder then that the social workers have to deal with attacks or other deterrent cases where a child is affected by computer game or television series. It is proven that the time spent using digital media is still growing. People are less willing to work and solve problems in the real world and seek solace in the virtual one. Major phenomenon are also social networks where people are completely losing their privacy. Especially for children who are very gullible this area of media is totally inappropriate. Because of all these issues, the teachers or social workers in social services must deal with problems related to cyberbullying or other forms of ridicule on the internet. The aim of this work is to describe digital media and their impact on occurrence of social pathological phenomena in children and to emphasize digital media as one of the very current topic the society should be speaking about especially with experts. Using these media has a huge impact on youth and therefore there are many new cases when the clients are seeking help because of their problems with addiction on digital media or because of the problems which are caused by them. In the bachelor thesis the data are collected in the form of quantitative research survey which took place in the Elementary School Sídliště Vlašim. Multivariate data from the questionnaires were processed by correspondence analysis (CCA) in program Canoco. Statistical results showed that both hypothesis were supported gender of a child is related to a certain type of activities on the internet and with increasing age also grow the time spent using the internet for fun (playing PC games) in both genders. Experts demonstrate the negative impact of excessive use of digital media. At present, we should raise awareness among users of media about the possible risks and expand preventative measures to precede the digital addiction.
