Education system is situated in formal educational and pedagogical institutions. However, considering that schools are not the only places for education, this paper examines the possibilities of teaching sociology in museums as a form of out-of-classroom learning. Teaching sociology in a museum provides opportunities for developing lasting basic knowledge and life-long learning, establishing and developing aesthetic and critical thinking aspects of students' personalities, and observing personal lives and experiences within a wider social context. The paper shows suggestions for this type of out-of-classroom learning, teacher's role in planning and visiting museums, teaching methods and units that can be attained in this form of learning, and a museum as an educational instrument. Learning through collaboration with other institutions in the local community shifts the learning context towards more complex cognitive processes. In the process of joint processing of a phenomeno...

Entrepreneurial inclinations of women from rural areas are shaped by the lack of business ideas and economic capital, which, in addition to financial resources, includes cultural capital in the form of knowledge and skills. The paper presents a part of a broader study on the social position of women from the rural areas of northern Kosovo and Metohija, conducted in 2013. The research was predominantly focused on entrepreneurial inclinations of rural women, and the findings suggest that private enterprise in the studied population is undeveloped as a result of two dominant reasons. The first reason is the situation which is unfavorable in terms of politics and security, and therefore, not conducive to investment security, together with the specificity in the form of complex administrative business conditions requiring compliance to parallel and mutually incompatible standards (of the Republic of Serbia and of the UNMIK administration). The second important reason for the lack of entr...

The paper deals with the attitude of the newly formed state government in Yugoslavia, after the Second World War, towards war veterans, in the period between the enactment of the first and second constitutions of the Communist Yugoslavia, the period of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (1946-1963). On the example of social protection of the fighters and their symbolic representation, especially through sculpture as the most suggestive and the most communicative medium for transmitting symbolic messages, the aim of the paper is to establish what the social position of the war veterans was in that historical period, and also to point to the important knowledge that the social protection of veterans, war invalids, as well as the families of the fallen soldiers was at an enviable level and that the new government immediately saw the importance of the symbolic representation of valuable ideals through the medium of sculpture also. In the newly formed Federal People's Re...

This paper deals with the attitude of the society towards war veterans in Serbia, from their perspective. It presents the research results of the social position of war veterans in Serbia from the theoretical framework of the so-called social constructivism. This theoretical approach advocates the standpoint that the problem of war veterans does not socially exist until it is constructed as a social problem, i.e. until it reaches the appropriate symbolic interpretation. Therefore, the interpretation and representation of participating in war, viewed as socially symbolic acts, are important aspects of understanding the social trauma of those who return from war and carry with them clinical and therapeutic aspects of trauma. 30 war veterans who partook in the wars on the territory of former Yugoslavia participated in the study. The method of semistructured interviews was used in the research. The objective of the study was to determine their attitudes and experiences about their own p...

Dok je multikulturalnost politički preduslov za pravnu garanciju i zaštitu manjinskih grupa, dotle interkulturalnost podrazumeva uspostavljanje odnosa između pojedinaca ili grupa koje pripadaju različitim kulturama uz verovanje da se ljudsko iskustvo kulturološkim kontaktima obogaćuje i razvija. Da bi osoba mogla da razume druge kulture, pre svega treba da poznaje sopstvenu kulturu, jezik, religiju, vrednosti, verovanja, norme i poglede na svet. Posebno su aktualne debate koje imaju za cilj traženje adekvatnog odnosa između modernih nacionalnih država i etničkih i nacionalnih manjina koje su domicilne ili novopridošle na njihovim teritorijama. Rešenje se traži u interkulturalnoj komunikaciji kao narednom koraku koji bi sproveo u praksu multikulturalne pretpostavke, odnosno pojedince doveo do uvažavanja vlastite i tuđe kulture i do interkulturalne razmene koja bi predstavljala konačni, poželjni proizvod zamišljenih politika.

Using the existing knowledge about the social and cultural characteristics of the Roma in Serbia, possible connection between Roma population and preserving of natural resources was established. This analysis acquired in social and other related studies, as well as the data obtained through the GIS (geographical information system) methodology, was used for determining the spatial distribution of Roma settlements and activities of the Roma community in the space. The Toplica District has one of the high percentages of Roma population and their daily migrations. This article investigates the possibility to raise the level of their economic activity and social integration, while simultaneously preserving natural resources and improving environmental safety. With the specific GIS, and numerical and sociology analysis, we try to address main problems in the District, hoping to find a connection between inner migration of Roma and better preservation of nature.

In this text, we consider the short term and long-term consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic among people throughout the world. In many societies, as a result of the health danger, governments have intervened by denying basic social and political rights. Because of these changes, economy has experienced a crisis whose effects many compare to the Great Depression of the last century. By dealing with the new problems, many countries have enforced measures of quarantine and closed their borders. The answer to the problems has not shown international solidarity, but state-centrism. The text first discusses what the old anti-epidemic measures brought to modern societies that had to be resorted to in preventing the spread of the epidemic. This is followed by an attempt to predict the possible long-term consequences for the functioning of social structures and government systems. As countries increase control and penetration into the sphere of everyday life of their citizens, in which they...

Abstract
Using the existing knowledge about the social and cultural characteristics of the Roma in Serbia, possible connection
between Roma population and preserving of natural resources was established. This analysis acquired in social and other
related studies, as well as the data obtained through the GIS (geographical information system) methodology, was used for
determining the spatial distribution of Roma settlements and activities of the Roma community in the space. The Toplica
District has one of the high percentages of Roma population and their daily migrations. This article investigates the possibility
to raise the level of their economic activity and social integration, while simultaneously preserving natural resources and
improving environmental safety. With the specific GIS, and numerical and sociology analysis, we try to address main problems
in the District, hoping to find a connection between inner migration of Roma and better preservation of nature.

САЖЕТАК. У раду се наводи део резултата ширег истраживања друштвеног поло-жаја жена са села северног Косова и Методије, обављеног 2013. године. У тексту се анализирају подаци о предузетничким инклинацијама и економском потенцијалу жена са села. У основи истраживања је идеја да су предузетничке инклинације битне у процесу економског развоја али још су битније са аспекта процеса еманципације жена и укупног друштвеног развоја. Добијени налази сугеришу да је приватно преду-зетништво код испитиване популације неразвијено, за шта постоје два доминантна разлога. Први, политички-безбедоносно неповољна ситуа-ција која није погодна за сигурност улагања, те специфичност у виду компликованих административних услова пословања у којима се за-хтева поштовање паралелних и међусобно неконпатибилних стандар-да (Републике Србије и УНМИК администрације). Други битан разлог за одсуство предузетничке иницијативе јесте недостатак власништва над имовином и средствима за производњу, с тим у вези банке не дају кредите без гаранције у виду власништва над хипотеком, а недоступни су и други облици финансијског подстицаја.

САЖЕТАК. У тексту се анализирају подаци из истраживања о положају жена са се-ла северног Косова и Метохије у јавној сфери: запошљавање, те со-цијална и здравствена заштита. Наведени фактори изабрани су као ин-дикатори који могу са једне стране указивати на потенцијал за развој друштва и модерних вредности у популацији битан за опстанак жена на селу, посебно у специфичним условима безбедоносне угрожености и економске неразвијености. Са друге стране, наведени показатељи друштвеног положаја жена указују на ниво исцрпљивања женских ре-сурса који за последицу могу имати и низак фертилитет и демограф-ско пражњење села и као такви изазвати дугорочни ефекат на састав становништва. Положај жена сагледава се и у контексту родних улога које су у значајној мери последица структурисаних и трајних односа међу половима у друштвеном контексту, а тек у мањој мери почивају на одлукама појединаца који ступају у родне односе. КЉУЧНЕ РЕЧИ: пол, род, (не)запосленост, социјална права.

The paper discusses how war veterans perceive themselves and how they answer the question "Who am I?". War veterans face many challenges in the process of re-socialization from a state of war and war traumatization to a peacetime society. There are several reasons why their re-socialization is a slow process: the first one is that a war engagement is in itself a highly stressful situation which carries traumas of different degrees, the other reason is the changed system of values in relation to war engagement. Namely, at the time they went to war, they had a strong social support, but at the time of their return and today this support is lost to the point of judgment. And the third reason which limits their re-socialization is the situation of social transition they found on their return from war, which specifically means that a large percentage of the population in general, and thus the war veterans after returning from the war, lost their jobs, creating a large social group of "transition losers". Such a condition often generates an identity crisis. This set of socio-cultural circumstances together with the ontological insecurity carried by war trauma generate an identity crisis, which is manifested among the respondents in nihilistic answers when responding to questions about their own personality. Studying the identity of war veterans, it was found that a strong attachment to the veteran identity is dominant. In fact, this paper discusses the different ways in which this attachment is re-fracted in the personality and identity of subjects, from negative attitudes to the pride in belonging to a group of war veterans and personal fulfillment in the activism in associations of war participants.
