Das Ziel meiner Magisterarbeit ist die Erscheinung des Selbstmords unter sozial – pädagogischem Aspekt zu ermitteln und die Ansichten der Pädagogen über diese Erscheinung zu erforschen. Außerdem setze ich mir zum Ziel zu erforschen, invieweit die Pädagogen vorbereitet sind, Präventivmaßnahmen zu ergreifen. Die Hypothese der Untersuchung: 1. Die Pädagogen sind bereit, präventive Maßnahmen gegen Selbstmord zu ergreifen. Aber es fehlt ihnen an Information über die Besonderheiten des Selbstmords und über die Möglichkeiten der Präventivmaßnahmen. Selbstmord ist eine komplizierte Erscheinung, die in verschiedenen Kulturen, Epochen und bei den Menschen von unterschiedlichen Rassen vorkommt. Diese Erscheinung widerspiegelt sich in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen und im seelischen Leben des Menschen. Sie ist als Kraft, die zu einer bestimmten Tat führt, sie ist als eine bestimmte Form des Protests. Selbstmord kann als Disharmonie der inneren Welt erscheinen, die im Augenblick der menschlichen Unsicherheit auf den Tod des Menschen verlangt. Selbstmord kann auch als das Ergebnis der schweren psychischen Krankheit vorkommen. Am häufigsten ist Selbstmord das Ergebnis des langen Prozesses, der manchmal auch das ganze Leben hindurch dauert. Die Aktualität dieses Problems ist auch in Litauen von besonderer Wichtigkeit. Das bestätigt die Statistik, die davon zeugt, dass jedes Jahr in Litauen etwa 1700 Menschen Selbstmord begehen. Noch mehr, 17000 Menschen versuchen es jedes Jahr, sich... [to full text]

Magistro darbo objektas – internetinė žiniasklaida, kaip įtaigiai savižudybių modelius bei metodus pateikianti bei lengvai paaugliams ir vaikams prieinama priemonė, galinti turėti įtakos suicidinės rizikos ir savižudybių skaičiaus padidėjimui Lietuvoje. Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti savižudybių temos pateikimą Lietuvos internetinėje žiniasklaidoje. Pagrindiniai uždaviniai: išanalizuoti savižudybę, kaip socialinę problemą, atskleisti žiniasklaidos pateikiamų savižudybių aprašymo tendencijas, poveikį ir prevencijos įgyvendinimo internetinėje žiniasklaidoje galimybes bei naujoves, ištirti savižudybių temos pateikimo aspektus Lietuvos internetiniuose naujienų portaluose. Darbe, naudojantis literatūros analizės, sintezės metodais, pusiau struktūruotu interviu su ekspertais ir pagrindinių Lietuvos internetinių naujienų portalų www.lrytas.lt, www.delfi.lt ir www.bernardinai.lt, www.zebra.lt kokybine ir kiekybine turinio analize, prieita prie išvados, kad straipsniai apie suicidinį elgesį internetinėje žiniasklaidoje sukelia aktyvias skaitytojų diskusijas šia tema. Kaip ir anksčiau tirtoje tradicinėje žiniasklaidoje, matomas internetinės žiniasklaidos polinkis savižudybių temą pateikti supaprastintai, provokuojančiu būdu, nepaisant psichologų rekomendacijų žiniasklaidos atstovams. Į savižudybių aprašymus dažnai nepatenka gilesnės savižudybių priežastys ir problemos esmė, ko pasėkoje savižudybių prevencija netampa dominuojančiu nei žiniasklaidos, nei skaitytojų diskusijų objektu...

The foreign press studies have shown that the more amateur publications presenting the model of suicidal behavior appear in the press, the bigger the possibility of imitation of such suicides. What is more, due to such publications the number of suicides grows. The latest research study in Lithuania has shown that the way of presenting suicide in the media has not changed compared with the previous years, thus the level of encouragement to imitate of suicides remains quite high. In the year 2005 Estonian and Swedish sociologists Merike Sisask, Airi Värnik and Danuta Wasserman carried out a research which studied 7 internet media portals and 188 internet articles analyzing the cases of two adolescent who tried to commit suicide, as well as the reader’s comments. The results of the research show that there is a correlation between the article writing style and the number of reader’s comments, as well as a correlation in some particular aspects of the content of the articles and the comments. This master’s thesis uses the method of qualitative and quantitative content analysis in studying the main Lithuanian Internet news portals (www.lrytas.lt, www.delfi.lt, www.bernardinai.lt, www.zebra.lt) in order to highlight the aspects of presentation of suicide topic. In the analysis of the articles and the readers’ comments on the suicide topic it is aimed to clear out what the prevailing... [to full text]
