Item Macierzyństwo jako wartość w kontekście przemian społecznych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2003) Gawlina, ZofiaThe value of family understood as a way of everyday life and a social institution is highly estimated, so the manner of fulfilling the family roles is controlled by the society. A women’s role of the mother is specifically sensitive from the social point of view. It is widely believed that maternity is the basic social role of a woman and even a social duty. If a woman does not want or cannot fulfil this duty, she is accused of egoism. This paper presents results of empiric research on single childless students and refers to their system of values and plans connected with marriage, procreation, and job. It has turned out, that the majority of the questioned students want to have more than one child, but they also think that coming up to their career expectations may overtake procreation decisions.Item Małżeństwo i rozwód w opinii młodzieży(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2006) Gawlina, ZofiaThe article presents reflections on the changes taking place in the present-day family and on the critical issues that concern it, including divorce. Divorce is looked upon primarily in the context of the factors that come from inside the family, but also in the context of changing social customs and social ideologies. The outcome of empirical research presented in the article touches upon opinions that high school students have on marriage, divorce, and the consequences of the latter. Basing on those opinions, the conclusion is reached that high school students (boys to a greater extent than girls) are attached to a traditional model of the marriage and the family, whereas the liberalisation of the young generation's view on the topic appears only after graduating from the high school, and is most visible in people with higher education.
