Tim had an unstable upbringing, spending many years in social care as his parents simply couldn´t cope with bringing up their five children when Tim turned 17, his father told him he was no longer welcome to stay at their family home in south London. Having nowhere else to go, Tim went to the west end of London where he stayed in various homeless hostels. Unfortunately, but sadly inevitably, Tim was introduced to drugs and found this to help him escape the pain that he felt. After two years and a growing drug dependency, tim found himself banned for drug taking and bad behaviour from nearly all the homeless hostels. He started to live on the streets and in various local squats, but it wasn´t long before he was arrested.

Tim was sentenced to thee months for begging and assault on a police officer. Because he was going to be homeless when his prison term was over, he was referred to Outside Link project who secures him supported accommodation for when he was released. Realising that he had options other than returning to the streets and his previous life style, Tim expressed a wish to get his life back on track and kick his herein addiction. In the project he was matched with a volunteer mentor Bill who  would help him with all aspects of his life support, advice and most importantly a friendly face and a sympathetic ear.

Tim has now been out of prison for three months and is still living in the supported accommodation project. With the help of his  mentor ill, he has been able to access help with independent accommodation through his local leaving care team. Tim has said that the biggest milestone has been the fact that he has been free from drugs. He has been taking part in a community drug rehabilitation  programe that was set up for him via One To One project before he left prison.

Bill and Tim still meet on a regular basis. In their last meeting Tim said:“I feel like a regular citizen now and not like someone who people view as second class.“ Tim is currently taking part in a training course and hopes to be able to join the army in the future.

KONIEC

 

Pathological gambling disorder is characterized by uncontrollable (nekontrolovateľný) gambling well beyond the point of a social or recreational activity, such that the gambling has a major disruptive (rušivý) effect on the gambler's life. People who are pathological gamblers may lose their life savings, and may even commit crimes (stealing, embezzling, or forging checks) to get money for their "habit." Relationships (vzťahy) and jobs may also be lost as a result of the disorder (porucha).

Pathological gambling disorder is an example of a process, or behavioral, addiction , as distinct from an addiction to such substances as food, drugs, tobacco, or alcohol. In process addictions, the characteristic "rush" or "high" comes from the series of steps or actions that are involved in the addictive behavior. With gambling, the "high" may be stimulated by the social atmosphere or group setting of the casino, race track, or bingo hall as well as by the excitement of risk-taking. Some gamblers have a "lucky" outfit, item of clothing, or accessory that they wear (nosia) or take along when gambling; sometimes putting on the outfit or item in question is enough to start the "rush."

People with pathological gambling disorder may engage (zaoberať sa) in many different types of gambling (hráčstvo) activities. These may include games of chance that are found in casinos, such as slot machines, card games, and roulette. Many of these games are now available on the Internet, the chief difference being that the bettor (stávka) uses a credit card instead of cash or chips. Other gambling activities may include the state lottery, horse or dog racing, or even bingo. The person may place bets (stávky) on the outcome (výsledok) of an election, baseball or football games, or even the weather on a particular day. Pathological gambling usually develops (rozvíja) slowly over time; people tend (byť náchylný) to begin with acceptable (prijateľný) levels of social or recreational gambling and slowly progress to pathological gambling. In most cases the disorder develops slowly over a period of years; however, there are cases of patients who gambled socially for decades and then began to gamble compulsively (neodolateľne) under the impact of a major life stressor, such as divorce (rozvod) or being laid off from work.

Thanks to the open borders, Slovaks have also been travelling much more than before. End they have been learning foreign languages and discovering new cultures. Cultural exchanges are usually very beneficial and they can change the lives of people in a very positive way. People learn about other cultures, find new friends, they try to adapt to the foreign culture as soon as possible-learn the language, make new contacts, find a job and sometimes get a new qualification. There are Slovaks who have decided to stay abroad. A lot of them got married in a foreign country, creating bicultural families.

People of different nationalities have different cultures. In somee countries, young people have to marry the partner chosen by their parents. In different religious there are different approaches to lifestyles. Equality between woman and man is accepted. Mixed marriages are becoming more and more popular.

A new phenomenon has appeared in Slovak traditions. End more and more women get married to men of different religion and colour. There is still a certain amount of prejudice, but most young people are tolerant, without any prejudice.

 

 

Multicultural society is a society where people of different races, cultures and traditions live side by side with respect. Many people are proud of saying that they are not racistis but in reality they have never lived with people of different colour next door. People are naturally divided according to the colour of their skin, the shape of their faces, but we can not judge people by these features and we have to try to bring people of different races together so that they can live and work peacefully together. Many governments have passed a law to promote racial integration in schools or at work.

The majority of the Slovak population  is Slovak. The contry also has several minorities, the biggest of which are Hungarian, Roma, Ruthenian and Ukrainian. A minority can be defined as an ethnic, racial, religious or other group forming a whole, different from the majority of the population in a country. The Roma population in Slovakia has found it difficult to adapt and is often the victim of racist attacks. There exist a number of projects to facilitate the integration of this ethnic group into the society.

Since 1989, quite a lot of Slovaks have been leaving the country to find a better paid jobs elsewhere in western Europe, The USA or Canada. In 2004, Slovakia became a part of a larger community- the European Union. Slovakia has also received immigrants from other countries. Not many of them stay in Slovakia. The majority want to move to Germany or other wester European countries.
