Team Work and Selfhelp in Slovakia in Time and Space

Abstract

A question why it is impossible to introduce certain forms of co-operation between families or households in some communities despite its objective necessity is a very attractive research issue. In some communities co-operation leads to common benefit in others is ineffective, people have the feeling of being forced to do something and earlier or later co-operation ceases to exist. We assume that our work will clarify the solution to the question of why and under what conditions someone is able (or forced) to cooperate with others and how this cooperation is perceived and how it affects his/her relationships within the community.
