Media impart information on political, social, economic, cultural events of social life. In this way media form the human conception of everyday world. In Lithuania there is analyzed the presentation of migration in press and internet portals. However in Lithuania there are no researches made on presentation of emigration on television. In this Master's thesis it is aimed to reveal the dynamics of presenting emigration in broadcasts of Lithuanian television (2006-2010) and the peculiarities of creation of broadcasts on emigration. In the Master's thesis J. Baudrillard's simulation conception is being followed, which denies the idea of "real" world. The analysis of the Italian, Swedish, Indian, Japanese, German television experience revealed the national migration representation features. In the Master's thesis TV broadcasts are analyzed as visual texts. There are applied procedures of U. Flick, Norman K. Denzin, H. Herman, W.Jahn and B.Hildenbran. For the analysis of emigration from the point of view of family stress R.Hill's model ABC-X has been chosen. For the research of activity of broadcast authors there was applied the Map method (Irene Levin). The research of dynamics of emigration presentation in broadcasts of Lithuanian television revealed that until 2009 there was dominating a multidimensional representation of emigration phenomenon, since 2009 fragmented phenomenon analysis. The authors of broadcasts try to create the illusion of "reality" and apply the procedure for creating "reality": talk to witnesses, experts. Since 2009 beside neutral sayings the rhetoric expressing evaluative position appears in speeches of broadcast participants, experts and presenters, conveyed experiences related not only with stress, despair, big joy but with uncertainty situation as well, broadcast is finished not only using generalizing sayings of the broadcast presenters in the beginning and end of broadcast but also giving rhetorical questions, appeared rhetoric justifying the emigration. The analysis of presenting emigration in TV broadcasts from the point of view of family stress revealed that the families of emigrants and families with parents abroad experience stress. In order to overcome inner stress evoked by the stressor the families of emigrants use psychological and social resources, families with parents abroad use resources in Lithuania and abroad. In purposive broadcasts families with parents abroad experience traumatic, mobilizing, concealed, dipolar stress. In specialized broadcasts represented families with parents abroad experience traumatic and mobilizing stress. During research of the activity of the authors of broadcasts "Emigrants" and "How are you?" there have been distinguished five models of authors of broadcasts describing emigration: existential model (emigration as the choice of life values); instrumental-cyclic model (emigration as operacionalisation); emotional model (emigration as disappointment); critical model (review of the concept of emigration in the context of global migration); alerting model (emigration as the entirety of dangers). The peculiarity of broadcast creation is revealed by the motives of creation and the four activities of the authors: selection of team, participants and topic; coordination of representation of positive and negative experiences; coordination of verbal and non-verbal representation; pattern of TV broadcast and the possibility of corrective intrusion. It was found that in TV shows on emigration there was developed the concept of families with parents abroad. The authors of broadcasts pointed out that direct communication with families affected that families with parents abroad were listed as a separate group, characterized by family characteristics. The authors of broadcasts "Emigrants" and "How are you?" are ready to continue the programs and does not alter the structure of their programs, because they realized the concept of the phenomenon of emigration.

Master's thesis topic is relevant to the investigation of migration processes in the Lithuanian population. Compared to other demographic phenomena, emigration is becoming increasingly important in recent decades. Globalization allows people to promote the emigration of the world to seek better working conditions, higher wages, to realize their ideas and opportunities, but this is a positive aspect of the global labor market, unsuitable for individual countries. Emigration problem is particularly urgent in Lithuania. Large scale emigration has affected a number of Lithuanian population declines. Also indirectly it affected other demographic and social, economical processes. This emigration is regarded as one of Lithuania the most serious threats to the country's demographic development, economic growth and the preservation of cultural identity. In this Master's thesis was used in the scientific literature, statistical data, results of research conducted, official reports, publications and analytical articles, which describes the population of migratory processes in the form of their expression, the magnitude of emigration from Lithuania after regaining independence in 1990 and accession to the European Union. The factors that effect migration mobility and causes of migration from Lithuania were identified. The scientific literature suggests that the causes of emigration, is usually one of the most difficult problems to identify in migration. This is due to reasons that are often confused with the objective to be achieved in the new country. Causes of migration are really important because it helps to decide what actions should be taken to slow the growing migration from Lithuania. The research showed that the most significant factors for migration is that social and economical conditions in Lithuania are lower that in other western countries. The main reason for emigrating are the low wage rates and the opportunity to create ones social and economical well being more quickly. In summary, the main causes for migration from Lithuania are economical and financial.

In Lithuania as well as in many other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, when the independence was regained, mass emigration started. The extents of emigration started to grow when administrative limits were abolished and the amount of countries that opened their borders increased. On May 1, 2004 when Lithuania became a full member of the European Union (hereinafter EU) and new work opportunities were offered, the emigration process became especially active. Lately the emigration has been considered to be the greatest not military threat for Lithuania, because during the last 17 years 461 thousand of Lithuanian citizens emigrated. More than a half (about 70%) of emigrants went to work to other states of the European Union last year. The main reason why the number of citizens decreases is emigration; hence it is possible to state that emigration is a relevant question of national importance that requires special attention. It is obvious that the membership of the country in the EU and globalization processes will increase the relevance of the emigration in the future as well. Object of the research: Emigration of Lithuanian labor force. Duration of the research: one month (March 1-31, 2007). The work consists of three parts; it also includes conclusions and appendices. The scope of the work is 55 pages. There are 6 tables and 26 pictures presented in the work. When main economical factors of Lithuanian labor force emigration to the EU were analyzed, one can state that emigration is encouraged because of labor force demand in the states of Western Europe because of economy that grows in some of them and because of lack of local labor force, especially because the society is getting older. The emigration of labor force inside the EU helps to mitigate the lack of labor force and the EU states use this, they do not determine transition period for free labor force movement from new EU states. Emigration of citizens and negative natural increase of citizens are the main factors of work offer decrease in Lithuania. They forecast that negative demographic changes in the future will influence the decrease of labor force offer.

The Scout movement in Lithuania underwent two stages of development - from a small and not very influential group of idealists to a large and state-supported organization having a monopoly to work with the Lithuanian youth. The turning point in the development of Scout organization in Lithuania was the passing of Lithuanian Scout Union law in 1930, whereby the state took the scouts under its patronage and control while banning all the other youth organizations, thus creating a conflict between the scouts and the "Ateitininkai" organization who had hitherto coexisted and collaborated. The attitude of the scouts in emigration to the passing of this law and the subsequent activity of state- controlled Scout organization was not unanimous and depended on personal experiences and values. There were no coherent and consistent discussions among the leaders of emigration Scouts – the majority of texts written on this topic was directly or indirectly influenced by the Lithuanian Scout organization. The first and only history of Lithuanian scouts was written by Petras Jurgėla, who saw the patronage of Nationalist government as bringing more harm than good for the Lithuanian Scout organization, because due to this patronage the Scouts became the field of political battles between the Nationalist and Roman Catholic powers. Most of the emigration scout leaders working with youth gave their positive or neutral assessment of 1930–1940 Lithuanian scouting either directly or ex-silentio.

In nowadays we frequently meet with the question about emigration.The causes of the emigration have been examined and the possible ways of solution these problems.There are a lot of such investigations done. On the ground of them there are created some theories that try to ascertain the essence of the social phenomenon, causes and other aspects. There must be significant reasons for person to leave his country, to break their connections with family, kinsfolk, friends, to lose the social status they have. The social connections play a really important role in the person's life. The purpose of the investigation is to analyse the interpersonal and institutionalised relations of emigrants'. The tasks of the work: 1. To disclose the theoretical assumptions of the migration in modern society; 2. To analyse the emigration in Lithuania and its situation, separating the challenges of emigration to Lithuania; 3. To analyse the theoretical assumptions of the social connections (the social capital). 4. To perform the sociological investigation that would let to examine to social connections of the emigrants' in the interpersonal and institutionalised discourses. The hypotheses of the investigation: 1. The main cause of the emigration from Lithuania in nowadays is indicated the insufficient government's attention to the person in social economical aspect (the most often there are emigrated reaching financial and material wellbeing). 2. The network of the interpersonal contacts of emigrants' in the foreign country is not expanded. Emigrants name family as the most important connections in their homeland (both parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, partner, children) but the fellow-men left in Lithuania are not the cause to come back. 3. Institutionalised intercourses of the emigrants' in the foreign country are little developed, usually it is restricted to job's or academic institutions. Despite of it the view of various institutions to emigrants is not unfavourable. Methods of the work: 1. The study of nonfiction. 2. The questionnaire interview: quantitative opinion's investigation (the VPU students') of the persons', living in Lithuania (the VPU students'). 3. An interview with emigrants. Findings of the work: 1. There was done the investigation and it emerged that emigrants are tended to reckon emigration as the natural phenomenon typical to all the countries. The informants of the investigation stated that they have emigrated because of insufficient attention of the government to the job direction, the bad economical situation in the country, seeking after their better material condition. Actually, students that took part in the quantitative investigation evaluate the situation of emigration similarly. So we can state that the first hypothesis - The main cause of the emigration from Lithuania in nowadays is indicated the insufficient government's attention to the person in social economical aspect (the most often there are emigrated reaching financial and material wellbeing) – was proved. Informants indicate the economical factors as the main cause of their emigration – the possibility to earn in the other country, seeking for the material wellbeing. They had no luck with jobs in Lithuania, so they were compelled to perfect their material life in the overseas. 2. After the statistic data analysis it was emerged that the second hypothesis – The network of the interpersonal contacts of emigrants' in the foreign country is not expanded. Emigrants name family as the most important connections in their homeland (both parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, partner, children) but the fellow-men left in Lithuania are not the cause to come back – was proved. It is possible to state that on the one part it is important to emigrants to keep terms with family left in the homeland, on the other part in heir recent life exists a very important factor that influences their decision to come or not to come back to Lithuania - It is their economical status, which in often cases is ameliorated in the foreign country. Talking about the interpersonal relations in the foreign country we must say that according to their statement their relationships with local citizenry are usually supported it the context of their work. The closest relations in the foreign country they support with their countrymen. 3. The investigation's data analysis showed that institutionalised relations in emigrants' life don't take the most place. There are only work, trade and academic dealings administered in the foreign institutions. There is no communication with Lithuanian institutions currently. It is possible to state that the third hypothesis - Institutionalised intercourses of the emigrants' in the foreign country are little developed, usually it is restricted to job's or academic institutions. Despite of it the view of various institutions to emigrants is not unfavourable – was proved.

Primarily, mass media, together with online dailies, which became popular due to its activity changes, makes an increasing impact on thinking, beliefs and conduct of the society. By emphasizing aspects of various actual social issues of the society in news agendas, such as emigration, and framing them in a discourse, mass media influences an attitude of the society toward the issue of emigration; it forms an assessment of the country of origin and induces to make decisions whether to stay or leave a country. The article presents the results of a pilot research of emigration discourse framing in Lithuanian online dailies delfi.lt and 15min.lt. Precisely, the research aims at examining an emigration discourse constructed in Lithuanian online dailies and identifying the role of mass media in representing an issue of emigration. The research is carried out by combining the methods of a quantitative content analysis and a critical discourse analysis under the discourse research methodology of N. Fairclough. Furthermore, the research has revealed that the role of mass media in representing emigration can be assessed as a formation of tendencies and regularities that motivate to depart from Lithuania. The pursuit of mass media to form tendencies is revealed by a demand to enlighten an issue of emigration in a field of political realities and international events, which are particularly significant to Lithuania, to provide a topic of emigration in the most readable news sections of online dailies, not describing it in detail, but relating it to the most favorable public realities, namely, the welfare of the people and the financial situation of the country. The issue of emigration presented in mass media is constructed by a negative one-sided discourse, which forms positive frames of emigration. Moreover, it has been ascertained that a negative valuation of Lithuania as the country of origin is predominant in online dailies. There are very distinct tendencies to propagate an economic migration, whereas a positive evaluation of the country is very abstract and it does not reveal any specific peculiarities of Lithuania, which would be a reason to stay in this country. Finally, the emigration discourse in online dailies can by characterized by an emotional, biased rhetoric, which further intensifies an expression of tendencies formed by mass media.

The pursuit of mass media to form tendencies is revealed by a demand to enlighten an issue of emigration in a field of political realities and international events, which are particularly significant to Lithuania, to provide a topic of emigration in the most readable news sections of online dailies, not describing it in detail, but relating it to the most favorable public realities, namely, the welfare of the people and the financial situation of the country. The issue of emigration presented in mass media is constructed by a negative one-sided discourse, which forms positive frames of emigration. Moreover, it has been ascertained that a negative valuation of Lithuania as the country of origin is predominant in online dailies. There are very distinct tendencies to propagate an economic migration, whereas a positive evaluation of the country is very abstract and it does not reveal any specific peculiarities of Lithuania, which would be a reason to stay in this country. Finally, the emigration discourse in online dailies can by characterized by an emotional, biased rhetoric, which further intensifies an expression of tendencies formed by mass media.
