The paper deals with issues connected with the motivation of high school students to participate in activities aimed at professional creative activity and, in this context, issues of environmental influences, especially from school and the family. It is responding to some of the growing efforts of neoliberalism to over individualize creative expression and activities and completely ignore social influences. It also takes into account the cultural legacy of past generations and the sources of creative power that have taken root in society and from which individuals draw and process their inspiration. Presented within are the results of an empirical probe focused on the influence of the social environment on the creative activity of teenagers. The paper follows the relations to the existing body of knowledge on the relationship between social environment and creativity, with an effort to capture the social conditionality of creative performances—to capture their roots. The results of the probe have confirmed the initial hypothesis that the creative efforts of secondary school students taking part in vocational training is based on the social background of the family and school. However, the family influence on the students’ creativity is not as significant as one would expect. It is the indirect effect of the family environment that has a larger influence.

Child-to-parent violence (CPV) constitutes a serious social problem due to its short and long-term consequences, which not only directly affect the victim but also generate a rupture of the family system. In this study, direct and indirect effects of exposition to violence within the family, insecurity in the family system (manifested as disengagement and/or preoccupation), and justification of violence on CPV toward mothers and fathers were analyzed with structural equation modeling (SEM). Davies and Cummings emotional security theory (1994) was applied. A total of 904 high school students between 13 and 20 years old participated in this study. Information regarding each participant’s committed CPV was obtained from the Child-to-Parent Aggression Questionnaire. Emotional insecurity was assessed with the Security in the Family System scale. To assess exposition to violence and justification of violence, the Exposure to Violence Questionnaire and Irrational Beliefs Inventory for Adolescents were applied, respectively. Strong relationships between exposition to violence within the family, emotional insecurity, justification of violence, and CPV toward mothers and fathers were observed. The results show that adolescents who are exposed to violence at home are more aggressive in the future. In addition, this relationship is mediated, at least in part, by the justification of violence and emotional insecurity. These results suggest that prevention and treatment of CPV aggressors should focus on improving security within the survivors’ family system as well as modifying attitudes toward violence.

With the amount of speeches delivered on social networks that students browse continuously, it is possible to use this mechanism as an additional support for classes. This research, using this possibility, seeks to present a didactic sequence applied to high school students from a public school, whose objective is to examine the concept of logic, present in the speeches of the two main candidates for the presidency of Brazil, in 2018 The proposal is to demonstrate to students how the concepts of logic can be identified in discourses that permeate the social environment and are part of the reality experienced by students. It is hoped that this research can contribute as a reference to an activity of theory and practice, such a relevant discussion in the school scenario.

Education – a fundamental method for social progress and its reformation. The social problems that the Albanian society is facing recently are diverse. Problems such as the fragile economy, the lack of implementation of legality, the development of a weak institutional structure and above all a transitional society are exerting their direct influence on the development of our society. In addition to these, as ever, Albanian society is facing a very frightening phenomenon, extreme aggression in the family, school institutions, actions that in some cases have had fatal conclusions, such as injury and killing. Unfortunately, nowadays, in our society, the fatalities caused by human life from violence and crime are so widespread that they are exceeding the fatalities that come from the most general and most problematic diseases that humanity today has. Indeed, every day we are facing more chaotic educational perceptions, even with voluntary and antieducational concepts, often deformed to the limits of anarchy and social anomie. Such devious behaviors such as crime, murder, theft, violence, public social tension are indicative of the fact that many people’s anarchist perceptions of freedom and social groups in our society have created an ambiguous situation to determine what are the values that need our civilization. Many young high school students, university students, but not only, have really come out of the allowed limits of personal freedom and are becoming a real social concern. Because the whole society is in the attack on money, welfare, survival, luxury, consumption, sex,etc., people’s education is neglected.

AbstractThe specific type of human activities that aim to maintain full health by maintaining biological, psychological and social comfort indicate the need to adopt a holistic perspective in any analysis of determinants of pro-health behaviour. When analysing the aetiology of somatic diseases, it is important to take into account biological and mental well-being as well as the connections between needs, interests and lifestyle decisions and their consequences. One of the measures used to reduce the risk of a progressive lack of immunity to non-infectious diseases is prevention, understood as actions aimed at preventing diseases or other adverse health phenomena by controlling their causes and risk factors. An important component of prevention programmes is preventing the occurrence of negative social behaviour patterns that contribute to the increased risk of diseases. Three basic components of a healthy lifestyle – regular physical activity, proper nutrition and sufficient rest and relaxation (stress management) – justify the importance of practising healthy habits from an early age. The role of promoting pro-health behaviours among children and adolescents is of particular importance in the context of increasingly sedentary lifestyles, obesity and weight problems.The aim of this study is to analyse the determinants of physical activity and a balanced diet in the lifestyle of high school students in Radom aged 16-19. The study was conducted in 2013 at VII Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński High School in Radom and involved 140 students. The results of the study indicate that only one-third of respondents fulfilled the requirements for minimal physical activity for their subjective and objective needs of this phase of ontogenetic development, such as being in the company of their peers, spending time in open air and taking care of their physical fitness. Unfortunately, the majority of the parents of the surveyed high school students, who were at the time about 40 years old, did not engage in any systematic physical activity. In other words, the family environment of the studied young people did not promote patterns of physical activity. Similarly, healthy nutrition in the study group was lacking. Both the boys and girls ate around five meals a day, but many respondents snacked between meals on sweets and crisps. The majority of students drank water. The vast majority of them ate their meals at home, ensuring that their meals were freshly prepared and not pre-cooked.Although school children prefer to spend time with their peers, the family is still a point of reference in terms of values and ways of spending free time. The authors of this paper must take into account the minimal impact of the family on choices regarding physical activity. The studied group of high school students demonstrated a lack of preventive care for their health and did not have a well-established systematic approach to physical activity and healthy eating habits.
