povzetki
Universities have to become what they ought to be
Signs indicating which way Slovenian universities have been taking to set
and meet their social roles, give grounds for serious concern. Universities
have been predominantly yielding to aggressive (neoliberal, financial-ca
pitalistic) logic of the market, according to which—as a university teacher
or a researcher—every individual is supposed to be worth only as much as
the amount of money they are able to procure with their work in the mar
ket. Universities do not seek or claim autonomy even in those organizati
onal or working areas where it would be possible or even highly necessa
ry for them to do so. Academic professionals are lacking the focus on the
content and ethics of working processes in universities. Instead they have
been become passive and apathetic slaves of robotised technocratic dehu
manisation. Also because of this universities have been considerably fai
ling to take care of the education of critically thinking citizens, of mo
ral personalities and courageous civilian intellectuals empowered with
authentic and quality knowledge. This has to change. Immediately.
Key words: Universities, academic ethics, academic subordination to neo
-liberal market logic, knowledge – as a value, democracy.

Vloga znanja o staranju pri oblikovanju stališč mladih
do starejših ljudi
Ob intenzivnem naraščanju števila starejših ljudi in podaljševanju ži
vljenjske dobe v sodobni postmoderni družbi postaja vedno bolj pomemb
no vzpostavljanje pozitivnega medgeneracijskega sodelovanja in spodbu
janje izobraževanja o staranju in starejših ljudeh, predvsem med mlajšo in
starejšo generacijo. Prav zato avtorici na podlagi empirične raziskave in
strokovne literature v pričujočem prispevku preučujeta, kolikšno je znanje
o staranju med mladimi in ali obstaja povezava med znanjem o staranju in
oblikovanjem negativnih stališč do starejših. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 609
srednješolcev, starih od 15 do 19 let. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da ima
le petina mladih dobro znanje o staranju. Povezava med znanjem o stara
nju in ageizmom je negativna, kar pomeni, da imajo mladi z manj znanja
o staranju pogosteje negativen odnos do starejših. V ta namen avtorici iz
postavljata pomen vključevanja gerontoloških vsebin v vse stopnje vzgoje
in izobraževanja.
Ključne besede: znanje o staranju, mladi, odnos do starejših, starejši, age
