In this paper, theoretical propositions about children with intellectual disabilities are presented, in order to define and clarify the four levels of intellectual disabilities, as well as their specificities and differences. Emphasis is also placed on the etiology and prevalence of intellectual disabilities, and the characteristics of children with intellectual disabilities. According to DSM-V, intellectual disability is a chronic condition characterized by deficits in general intellectual abilities such as planning, abstract thinking, learning based on experience, reasoning, and problem solving, impairments in intellectual functioning and difficulties in adaptive functioning that are present during the developmental period. In our areas, children with mild intellectual disabilities are generally not identified before starting school, and even later. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is no single register on the number of people with intellectual disabilities, so it is not possible to reliably know the number of people in relation to the type and level of disability. The characteristics of children with intellectual disabilities relate to the level of their intellectual impairment, and are related to their intelligence quotient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper problematizes Islam as a world religion and organization, and its socio-historical context of origin, as well as its impact and influence on society`s value system in cases of Granada and Mostar. Further, our intention is to show through an comparative analysis the terms of origin and development of Islam in Granada and Mostar as well. Also, with an qualitative research approach, we want to establish how and in wich way Islamic communities are operating in these cities and to what extent are they integrated into the local community. Religious practice and activities in the spirit of religion will be one of the indicators of the influence of Islam as a religion on everyday social relations. Our emphasis in this paper will also be on the perception of social reality by religious communities and their specific role in cases of Granada and Mostar and the extent to which their actions are realized as an everyday social practice. At the end, we wish to mention that this paper is a result of a colaboration between a professor from the University of "Džemal Bijedić" in Mostar and a exchange student from the University of Granada, and all with the intention to gain a better insight into the position and activities of Islamic religious communities in the mentioned cities, and the desire to highlight and analyze potential similarities, but also differences in the way they operate and the positions they occupy in social reality.

Violence in sports can be observed within copmetitions (for example in boxing, wrestling, martial arts, rugby, etc.), or as violence outside competition, but most often, as a social problem, violence of spectators. Michael Smith distinguishes „relatively legitimate" violence from „relatively illegitimate", including in the first group, violence within the limits of sports rules, and violence that goes beyond the limits, but is generally accepted, and in the second group, „quasi-criminal", which violates law and official rules, and „criminal", which, among other things, violates informal rules, and is, therefore, absolutely unacceptable. The boundaries between these phenomena, however, are not as strict as is generally thought: observers identify with athletes, and athletes often become a role model for young people. Identification in the game (i.e. with the playe, the role model) is one of the key catalysts of aggression: fake aggression on the sports field turns empathetically into real aggression in the stands. And it is precisely this transferred aggression from the field to stands thas is one of the focuses of this paper, which aims to analyze and explain the social context of the conflict both on the field and in the stands. The phenomenon of hooliganism is something that in today's modern sport is closely related to sports events, especially in team sports and among teams where there is a history of rivalry and long term „struggle".

Theorists of socio-political, cultural and social thought in general start their interest in education as a specific social relation and also an important segment of social development relatively late. This is also the reason of a quite late constitution of Sociology of education as a special sociological discipline. True, interest in education can be recognized even in ancient times in the deliberations of a few thinkers. However, it could not be possible to say that this is a more complete and separate study of education than this issue is observed in context of the overall social events. Only Modernism time brings complete and recognizable theories that have education in their focus. Postmodernism goes a step further and brings a lot of different understandings of the place and role of education in society in relation to the earlier elaboration Therefore, the primary task of this paper will be to offer a brief analytical and comparative review of modernist and postmodernist conception of education. Although in Bosnia and Herzegovina there isn't any complete sociological theory of education, I feel compelled to familiarize future readers with some distinctive features of education in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the time of Modernism and post-Dayton period.

It is quite certain that agencies of mass comunication, especially television and internet, in a great extent influence the behavior of students in elmentary and highschool, and even preschool children. Aware of this fact are both, parents and the teachers, but also institutions responsible for education. One thing is certain, we cannot deny children and young people the right to watch television or use the internet; maybe we can limit time spent in front of television and on the internet, but then again we did not adequately protect children from the negative effects of these media and their contents. The problem facing our society in the last decade, has long been, in educational realities, very thoroughly analyzed, researched and placed into institutional frameworks. However, regardless of such serious and versatile aproach to this issue, the European primary education failed to reach an agreement about the methodology of media education. So, the dilemma about the need of media education in primary schools has been resolved, in an effort to protect children and adolescents from different media contents. Unfortunately, Bosnian reality is faced with very negative effects of mass media influence every day, and we justifiably ask, until when will we ascertaine noticed negativities without serious intentions of researching and analyzing the causes of the mentioned negativities?!
