Abstract

The research project is set out to explore perceptions of the past and evaluations of several events which constitute a likely basis of state-building and national identity, as well as identify the determinants for these evaluations, in particular the link between perceptions of the present and evaluations of the past, which is beyond individuals' empirical experience and is conveyed to them through educational system and family socialization. The second aim was to assess the power of influence of educational system socialization. The third goal was to explore, to what extent the anticipation and evaluation of the future is - in the context of new political, cultural and economic circumstances - associated with perceptions of the present and evaluations of the past. One of the questions that was tackled here was also the potential of mobility in the generation which is now entering a new, competitive environment of united Europe.The research project is set out to explore perceptions of the past and evaluations of several events which constitute a likely basis of state-building and national identity, as well as identify the determinants for these evaluations, in particular the link between perceptions of the present and evaluations of the past, which is beyond individuals' empirical experience and is conveyed to them through educational system and family socialization.
