Youth Issue

Reframing Irish Youth in the Sixties focuses on the position of youth in the Republic of Ireland at a time when the meaning of youth was changing internationally. It argues that the reformulation of youth as a social category was a key element of social change. While emigration was the key youth issue of the 1950s, in this period young people became a pivotal point around which a new national project of economic growth hinged. Transnational ideas and international models increasingly framed Irish attitudes to young people’s education, welfare and employment. At the same time Irish youths were participants in a transnational youth culture that appeared to challenge the status quo. This book examines the attitudes of those in government, the media, in civil society organisations and religious bodies to youth and young people, addressing new manifestations of youth culture and new developments in youth welfare work. In using youth as a lens, this book takes an innovative approach that enables a multi-faceted examination of the sixties, providing fresh perspectives on key social changes and cultural continuities.

The International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec (2008) provides a number of indicators on the status of religious experience among young people and their relationship with the Catholic tradition. While the event may seem disconnected from the dominant culture, it would not be possible without its contribution. Which characteristics of youth culture and the IEC have strong enough affinities for this event not only to be possible, but also to be considered a success ? What type of Catholicism is it ? Two hypotheses are proposed to explain this “product” of secularization: a manifestation of marketed “pure religion” or manifestation of a “religion of the market.”

Mass immunization of the citizens of the Republic of Serbia began in January 2021. Information on the significance, manner, advantages and consequences of this process was intensively distributed through all communication channels, with the media playing a key role. According to the data of the official institutions for the public health of Serbia, by July 2021 the lowest percentage of vaccinated population was among those between the ages of 18 and 24—only 15% of this demographic had received the vaccine by this point. Given the low turnout of young people for vaccination, in this paper we investigated the general attitude of students in Serbia, as a special category of young people, towards the vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, as well as their attitude regarding information about vaccination in the media. Research was conducted on a sample of 345 students at the University of Novi Sad. The results of the research showed that 42% of students had not been vaccinated and did not plan to do so, 37.4% had received at least one dose of vaccine and 20.6% had not been vaccinated even though they planned to do so. Students who were vaccinated had more confidence in information provided through media channels than those who were not vaccinated. Therefore, it can be concluded that encouraging students to decide in favor of vaccination against the COVID-19 virus should come from the universities where they study as well as the media.

The Sixties

While the cinema and the dancehall had entertained generations of Irish youths prior to the sixties, this chapter addresses new manifestations of youth culture in this period, with a particular focus on the showband, beat and folk scenes. This chapter explores how the self-image of young people was informed and shaped by transnational developments in popular culture, which were transmitted through a variety of media and manifested in ways that were significantly affected by local factors. It analyses how a transnational youth culture was adopted and adapted in Ireland and identifies its role in shaping discussions of the sexual lives of young people. Ultimately it highlights how the development of a thriving Irish youth culture undermined previous rhetoric that equated the modern with the foreign, and threats to Irish culture and morality as external.

The relevance of the research topic is that global youth culture is an interdisciplinary category, with the help of which analysts try to understand the emergence of complex forms of cultural identity and hybridity, which can be found more often among young people around the world and that is directly related to the media (cinema, television, popular music, Internet). To use the analogy with K-pop and Brony youth subcultures, the authors show the similarities between two subcultures on specified grounds, where values define manners and norms of behavior, which are valuable in youth subcultures, gained its worldwide popularity through like-minded friends in online communities where fans are an integral part. The inductive method encourages philosophize about the general picture of two modern youth subcultures to particular moments, i.e. dominant social values in their public actions in both subcultures. Using the method of generalization, the authors consider the value concept of “loyalty” for young people in the context of the phenomenon of fans using the example of K-Pop and Brony subcultures. The most important characteristic of group life is that it has a set of values that govern the behavior of members of the entire group.

Shaping the image of uniformed services is related to many conditions, including historical ones, stereotypes, or the opinion of circles that have often come into conflict with, for example, the Police. Thus, it is more difficult for uniformed services than for enterprises to influence their image in the eyes of society, the more so as the media often create specific messages through their reports. The image of each organization is a component of intellectual capital, which is a consolidated intangible resource. Managing this comprehensive intangible resource will result in, among other things, higher efficiency, increased innovation and creativity, greater involvement of staff, and the desire to self-improve, which will lead to shaping a better and better image. The study aims to present results of research on the image as an intangible resource as an intellectual capital element, and preliminary research on perceiving the image of the Police and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland. They were carried out on a selected sample of young people.

False News

The analysis of the problem of false news and other media constructions is based on quantitative research, which shows the distribution of published materials in Chisinau and the Russian Federation. In these media, the materials addressed the topics regarding the events on the Dniester in 1992 in a negative, neutral or positive way. The qualitative research aims to describe the content of the articles divided into separate thematic blocks, sub-themes, and representation sections. The media construction of the events of the Dniester War in 1992 in the written and online press in the Republic of Moldova is contradictory. The Russian press and the left-wing press contribute to the false and erroneous perception that the phenomenon is known as „Transnistrian conflict” is a civil one, and that it is not Russia but Transnistria that is a „party” to the conflict, that Russia has the status of a neutral mediator and guarantor of the agreements between the parties and the provisions of the Memorandum on normalizing relations between the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria signed in 1997 in Moscow.
