The object of this master thesis is the presentation of political reality in media. As a theoretical background of research a framing theory was chosen. This theory concentrates on analysis of the thinking schemes of individuals and other social institutes. The main problem of this thesis is that media informs about the political issues through its own prism and constructs the frames which determine the corresponding event's interpretations. This problem leaded to a hypothesis of the thesis: media uses various tools for political issues enlightement and these tools imply the possible means of reading a message and creation of meanings. The aim of this thesis was both to present a theoretical background of political reality construction on the basis of framing and to study the tools of media framing construction via analysis of a specific event. For the achievement of this aim the following tasks were raised and implemented: to present the evolution of media effects overall and its political influence particularly, to present the framing theory and the reasons of framing usage in media, to analyse the framing factors and its relation with the frames constructed by the audience itself, to analyze a context of the specific political issue presented in this thesis, to research the media material about this issue and to determine the possible constructed meanings in these messages and to analyse the audience perception of this political issue being communicated through media. Due to the reason that the object of this work relates with the construction of possible meanings, the research was made by using two qualitative methods: semiotical analysis of video news reportages and semi-standartised interviews with experts (specialists of political communication, political sociology and journalist). The data received by both methods supplemented each other and provided both wide and detalised view of political reality construction in media aspects and audience perception. After implemented analysis of the theoretical aspects of framing and research of the specific political issue's enlighmenent in media, the hypothesis of this thesis was proved.

The aim of the article is the analysis of the status of Carl Schmitt's political theology. It is argued that this conception can not be understood as a sociology of juristic concepts as it was described by its author. Today many interpretators attempt to explain political theology as a part of theology. This interpretation is deficient in some of its parts. Schmitt was developing a political theory which he called "political theology". This project has to be understood as an attempt to use theological argumentations and insights in the discourse of political philosophy. Schmitt's attempt to create a synthesis of theology and philosophy for the study of politics is similar to the aims of reactionary XIX century Catholic political philosophy of Joseph de Maistre, Louis de Bonald and Juan Donoso Cortes.

The subject of the work is "The relation between the polity and nation (the aspect of alienation). The work was made by Domas Grigaliūnas, Political sociology master's degree student of VPU Social sciences faculty Sociology and political sciences department. The globalization is around us and influences our commonness, touching the world that is close to us, raising the discussion with our ordinary political and cultural values. Because of that there was raised the purpose of the investigation – to ascertain the causes of the disjuncture (alienation) between the nation and polity in political and cultural globalization context. The tasks of the work: 1. To analyze the theoretical aspects of the conception of the globalization, the role of European Union; 2. To summarize the relation between the polity and the nation in the political and cultural globalization context in the value and disjuncture aspects; 3. To fulfill the investigation that would let us to ascertain the causes of the of the disjuncture (alienation) between the nation and polity in political and cultural globalization context The object of the investigation is the evaluation of the political and cultural globalization. These hypotheses were proved during the investigation: 1. Respondents consider the globalization as the universally prevailing phenomenon, but they partly identify this concept with the globalization concept. Political and cultural globalization is considered as the most topical, many respondents think that globalization is the challenge to the values of the nation. 2. A lot of respondents consider the main purpose of the European Union – to create as much tight union of the Europe nations' as possible – is evaluated as positive only partially. The public spirit in the community is evaluated as very important, although many respondents fancy them as public spirit only partially. Because of the political globalization there appeared the necessity of reconsidering and renewing the guidelines and tendencies of the foreign policy is evaluated as the cause of alienation of the polity and the nation. 3. Many respondents consider that the national identity is especially topical in the context of the globalization, but it is suppressed by the uprising of the mass culture. The polity's strategy is too little polarized to conserve the values of nation as the nation with its own cultural values. During the investigation it emerged that the most effective assumption for the strengthening of the relations between polity and nation is political strength, the nurturance and education of the cultural as the national values.

The work was made by Daiva Cereskiene, Political sociology master's degree student of VPU Social sciences faculty Sociology and political sciences department. The subject of the work is: Academic youth provision in respect of political values (VPU case). The director of the work is Doc. V. Senkus. The work size is 67 pages. The chosen topic is an important source in rising every time a new looks in the hope that this generation will be characterized by a stronger pro - democracy values, more and more active in civic and political activities than older generations. However, studies indicate that the young generation of Lithuanian population are different from those of older generations in particular, low electoral turnout and poor support for the political community, the younger generation also does not stand a higher activity of public organizations, movements and activities than the older generation, young people still characterized communal solidarity and philanthropic provisions than the older population also raises the question - what determines the success of the political values of political life, political career? The negative aspects of the problem lies in the public opinion to public officials and top representatives of the political will of behavior, which affects many other negative consequences, distrust of power, corruption, low level of participation in elections, noncitizenship, emigration, etc. The paper aims - to reveal the attitudes of young people in political values and to determine which of two factors - lifestyle / cycle or changes in securities - is more important for young people explaining the low level of political participation and confidence in government. The subject of research - Academic Youth provision of political values. The object of research – The young academic peoples of Vilnius Pedagogical University. Objectives: 1. Summarized the values conception, the theoretical aspects and formation and evolution of values in politics in Lithuania since the restoration of independence. 2. To review the political values of academic youth assessments. 3. Discuss the factors that influence young people's attitudes to political values. 4. On the basis of political values of academic youth provisions in the investigation, disclosure of the youth of political values. The research hypothesis: 1. Families, one of the most important factors in formation value orientations – was proved. The analysis of survey data, we can conclude that the families of the respondents conveyed values: freedom, independence, democracy, equality, justice, patriotism and economic well-being is educated and is a very important aspect of bringing up the younger generation and making them public, humane, national, ethical, moral approach to many areas of life, as well as of the same family. 2. Today's youth are the academic focus of the wealth and the pursuit of personal wealth, leaving aside political values – was proved. So, as we see from the aggregated data, the values of academic youth in the context of values play quite an important place. Unfortunately academic patriotism of youth fades as the assessment of value, arguing that the State itself willy-nilly or skeptical of politicians makes job decisions. Therefore, by assessing the current economic situation, and finally a value in Lithuania, academic and youth tend to give priority to the material well-being and personal values. 3. It is likely that the media, as an important participant in the process of political communication, have an impact on shaping the political value orientations – was proved. Thus, we conclude that the media an important factor in shaping value orientations. Because the media can influence and attract large audiences, politicians send press releases, political advertising commissions, participating in various shows and so on. It is therefore very important for academics to young people to be critical thinking. For those able to assess the knowledge regarding the validity of the information and the detection of weak, less-reasoned arguments, teaching young people are generally able to understand the weak link in the existing management systems and their weaknesses, but also of social development issues. Thus, the current world characterized by information overload every young person should develop a critical and reflective thinking, assessing and adopting a selection of media, politics and education of participants and promoted the formation of information about political values. The work methods: Scientific, regulatory and technical literature analysis. Empirical research is quantitative. The research was made on 2011 April in Vilnius Pedagogical University. Work structure. The work consists of an introduction, theoretical part, which considers: the concept of property descriptors, the factors that influence young people's attitudes to political values. The practical part presents a research and data analysis. Then presented the final conclusions, bibliography, summaries in Lithuanian and English languages, and accessories. In summary, was found that the highest academic youth being disappointed made by the political will to conduct unethical behavior patterns are often turned away from public spaces for participation and political values, the priority of providing material assets, and personal well-being of the guaranteed values. Academic young people deliberately choose the most important studies to help find a good paying job to help build personal wealth. There are no perspectives to create personal well-being in Lithuania, an increasing number of young people in the academic study of personal wealth venturing abroad, which, according to university students, a more measured man. Insights from the sequence by the finding that young academic, the political will of the highest policy, turned away from public spaces, and hence of political values, and give priority to personal well-being into action.
