Addiction, dysfunctional use of "new technologies" and difficulties in limiting time spent using it, are not unusual due to the increasing usage of the internet. Young people, who are almost constantly connected, are particularly vulnerable. Recognizing the risk of pathological addiction, this paper explores the use of Internet, social networks and mobile phones among young people (N=310) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the research is to examine the extent to which young people use the internet, social networks and mobile phones, and what consequences this has on the emotional, cognitive and social functioning of youth. The study was conducted using the most commonly used diagnostic tool for measuring internet addiction, the so-called Internet Addiction Test, and a survey questionnaire created for this research. Results of the study showed a mild level of "new addiction" in youth, which included emotional and cognitive preoccupation with "new" ICT, neglect of work, lack of self-control and social problems caused by preoccupation with the Internet, social networks and mobile phones.
Danas postoji mnoštvo definicija koje su često nedostatne, neprihvatljive i neprimjerene savremenim shvatanjima braka i porodice. Iako se kroz historiju brak poimao kao monogamna zajednica muškarca i žene, u savremenom društvu, pod uticajem transformacijskih procesa, dolazi do formalno-pravnog izjednačavanja bračne i vanbračne veze, kao i tendencije legalizacije istospolnih brakova. Pod pritiskom modernizacije i individualizacije, te produženog školovanja, mladi sve češće odlažu brak za zrelije godine. Štoviše, brak je postao „zastarjela“ institucija, gdje sve veći broj mladih ljudi preferira zajednički život bez sudbonosnog „da.“ Alternativni oblici partnerstva su postali primamljiviji, lakši i interesantniji oblici suživota za mlade, a kohabitacija najraširenija forma zajedničkog života. U istraživanju se želio dobiti uvid u stavove mladih u Bosni i Hercegovini (N=234) o braku i altnerativnim oblicima partnerstva, prvenstveno kohabitaciji, kao i njihovim željama i planovima za budućnost kada je riječ o bračnom i porodičnom životu. Putem anketnog upitnika došlo se do saznanja da, pod pritiskom transformacijskih promjena, mladi u Bosni i Hercegovini preferiraju alternativne oblike partnerstva, ali i da, pod uticajem patrijarhalnog društva, brak smatraju najprihvatljivijom zajednicom muškarca i žene.
