Abstract
This article aims to offer the reader a sociological view on two current topics related to the environment of the Children's Home Klánovice. We will focus on social exclusion and on deviant behavior.
We obtained data from a research survey for which we have chosen qualitative methods. The information was provided by interviews, observations and the analysis of pedagogical documentation.
Our findings show that the original social environment of children is a crucial determinant influencing their further involvement in social structures. The results point to a number of challenges that await children in our society.
Respondents are particularly concerned about social exclusion and negative acceptance of society. In the discussion, we will reflect on the possibilities that sociology offers for modern special pedagogy and, above all, draw attention to the need for interdisciplinary cooperation.
