Abstract

The Western Balkan countries during the last three decades go through successive changes which sociologically are articulated as "social transition". The transition process represents a social change that is primarily political in nature, but that ultimately affects every pore of the society. This radical transformation brought up the debate over the new values against the old ones, about the nature and construction of the new society, etc. Macedonia as a country with mixed multicultural and multiethnic society has struggled with the implementation of the democratic values throughout this period, which bring in question the future of the young generation, their values and future perspective. Moreover, the education system in the country during the past two decades has been under constant changes and reforms, which tended to bring quality and make it more competitive with the educational methods of the contemporary societies. These changes so far have not given the desired results, as shown in the latest PISA test results. In this regard we have conducted a research among university students studying in Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo. The obtained results from this research highlighted the importance of education and family, as key factors for obtaining the needed democratic values. Furthermore, through a comparative and text analyses we will try to elaborate the results gathered from this research regarding the democratic values and their impact in society.
