In my diploma thesis I decided to write about relationship between society and animals, mostly because I love animals very much. Although slow, I think that relationship between society and animals is changing to better in last few years. In lots of cases a child is growing up with an animal since his young ages, animals are included in preschool programs in different ways, and not rarely children have animals on visit or even in their own group in kindergarden. Also, in specialized literature, we can find lots of cases of positive influence that an animal has on a child.
Changes in last few years also brought more including of animals to man everyday life. In media is more talking about negative attitude towards animals, which I think is really important, because talking and drawing attention to the problem, is the only way to get rid of it. Nowadays, there is a lot of civil initiatives, which are defending animals rights, more popular are also animal assisted therapies.
The empirical part is focused on relationship of children towards animals, therefore which animals do they have for pets, which are they scared of and maybe do they search consolation in animals when they are sad? I also wanted to know how preschool teachers help to develop positive relationship of children towards animals. |
