Getting old at home - getting old in a town.
Dušková, Eva ; Lejsal, Matěj (advisor) ; Bareš, Pavel (referee)
This thesis discusses dignity of aging and elderly citizens and the ways in which it is supported within a village community. Dignity is seen as the most important and universal human need, and not only for elderly people. Its significance and protection is anchored in international and national legal documents which are also binding at lower levels of state administration including the community and municipality level. Municipalities are public institutions obliged to create social policies. Citizens need to be involved and to participate in constructing these policies that touch upon the needs of specific groups of them, including that of the elderly. Using several methods, the analytical part describes the situation in a particular village community. The method of social-demographic analysis is based on statistical data and literature. Participant observation and close study of documents provide additional information to the analysis of secondary data. The results show up-to-date age structure and the present state of coexistence of different people in the community. Judging from ways of participation in political life of the community we can infer that close relationships among citizens are the driving force of the development of the area as far as meeting the needs of the elderly are...

Consequences of an aging population for the need for social care services for seniors
Rychterová, Daniela ; Průša, Ladislav (advisor) ; Bareš, Pavel (referee)
The thesis deals with the problem of aging of the population in the lower territorial unit in the municipality with extended competence in Příbram. The current situation of the population is dealt with, but the future population status is projected from 2015 to 2030. For their analysis are used demographic and economic indicators, results of own projection as well as a description of social care services provided in this area. The aging of the population is related to several key themes, mainly with the provision of adequate care for the elderly, and in the work it is also addressed in terms of financing services and the increasing burden of the economically active population. The demographic data on the local population is compared with the situation in the Czech Republic. The benefit of the work is primarily to determine the need for social care services for the elderly in the future, to identify possible shortcomings in their provision, capacity, quality and financing. The aim of the thesis is also to find possible solutions that are most effective and help to ensure safe and peaceful aging for all seniors in SO ORP Příbram. The result of the work is to map the current situation and to create a future estimation that will provide the necessary documents for better planning of social services for the elderly.

Mags in Dresses Playing Strategies of Female Players Confronted with Hegemonic Masculinity in MMORPG
Bareš, Pavel ; Švelch, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Pospíšilová, Marie (referee)
This paper explores the manifestations of the hegemonic masculinity and gender hierarchy discourse in the environment of MMORPGs and the playing strategies used by female players to react to these manifestations. The main goal of the research was to identify these strategies and analyse them using the hegemonic masculinity theory. For this purpose a series of qualitative interviews with experienced female MMORPGs players have been conducted and by analysing these, 4 strategies have been identified: resistance (challenging the discourse), fulfilling (fortifying the discourse on purpose), resignation (giving in to the discourse) and avoiding (using the game mechanics to escape the female role and related influences of the discourse). This paper therefore introduces 4 hypothetical patterns of behaviour of MMORPG female players who are confronted with manifestations of hegemonic masculinity and shows that the theoretical background of this theory is suitable for tackling the topic of gender inequality within videogame worlds.
