24 The concept of CHILDHOOD in view of the analysis
A child is a small version of an adult / small animal (eg. bunny, bearcub). Childhood historians believed in a similar theory for centuries. A child is good and beautiful. – In the discipline of History of childhood it is a core dilemma: Are children diabolic or divine? A child plays. (It is a statment: Adults don’t play.)

25 Conclusions

26 Conclusions I. A./ Universalistic features: “a foreigner speaks, lives, and travels”; “a family is about mother, love, and good. B./ Culture-/Language-bound characteristics: друг-дружить; чёрт-чёрточка-чёрный-чертить (sound) C./ Globalization and its effects: tablets, cartoons, brand names (lego, Duplo, Trudi) D./ Translation anomaliae: the Lacuna Paradox: ördög-дьявол-чёрт-бес- сатана

27 Conclusions II. E./ Elaboration: the questionnaire made an opportunity to elaborate their problems, regarding their problems at home (e.g. father has died, parents are divorced) F./ Fiction vs. Reality: children seem to be not sure whether angels and devils exist or not G./ Confirmation: We need more research - children have vast knowledge about the world surrounding them, they understand a lot more then we expect
