Social images of young people and religion

Abstract

The author begins to analyse the relationship concerning the image young people build of a boy, a girl, a man and also of themselves, concluding that, in general, the religious position does not always appear as a determinant factor in building the images of ourselves or other people. Going ahead with studying the attitudes shown by the inquired people as to their country, the present and future, one concludes that the religious position has a powerful influence on these items, as well as the incidence of the 25^th April on the personal life of each one among the inquired people and on the life of the country. At last one sees that the religious position produces very different effects, according to the different issues analysed, and that the distinction between catholics and non-catholics and between practive catholics and non-practive catholics shows to be quite interesting for the results of the inquiry.
