Kudláček, Miroslav ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Titzl, Boris (referee)
- Miroslav Kudláček "World of Cerebral Palsy" The aim of this project is to describe a process how people suffering from Cerebral palsy are getting to know their own disability. It is characteristic for this disease that its first symptoms develop not later than one year after the birth. So if follows that this man/child does not have a chance to gain any kind of experience of what it means "to be healthy". Therefore his point of view as far as his disability is concerned is completely different from those people who, for example, have had a car accident. The paper therefore intends to deal with a cognitive process how such disabled individuals cope with this problem. Theoretical part will be based on social constructivism (Berger, Luckmann, Kabele) and Piaget's "psychology of development". Methodological part should consist of interviews with people with Cerebral palsy which they will analyzed by concept Grounded Theory.

Socialistic complaints as an instrument of governance and remedy - Beroun district in the second half of the 80s.
Olbertová, Lenka ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with finding an answer to how socialistic complaints worked as an instrument of remedy and also as an instrument of governance. It proceeds from the theory of Albert O. Hirschman that explains strategies of solution in the area of firms, organizations and states and that also includes complaining. The other theoretical sources are the theory of bureaucratic organizations of Michel Crozier and Michel Foucault's conception of power and discipline. The issues of complaining are put into period context in the diploma thesis and it is supplemented about a brief elucidation of ruling manners considering the district level. The empirical part is based on qualitative and quantitative content analysis of complaints that were solved by the leading secretary at the District Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in Beroun from 1985 till 1989. It is not only focused on a survey of complaints but also interprets the procedures of solving that are related to the chosen theoretical findings. The thesis also explains the relationship between the communist party and its critics with their objections and the relationship between the party and people that were criticized in the complaints.

In my thesis I deal with social integration of immigrants in the Czech Republic. This topic interests me primarily from the perspective of Czech students. In the theoretical part of my thesis first I define integration and its three main models, and describe their development. The next section I devote to social integration and its four dimensions. In the next two sections I describe migration development and related migration policy of the Czech Republic to outline the transformation of Czech Republic from emigration to immigration character. After defining the important concepts and theoretical foundations I present my research probe that explores the views of Kladno's students to immigrants, their cultural and interactive social integration. For this probe I selected quantitative survey. I wanted to involve as many students as possible. In this part of my work I introduce my research questions and hypotheses, methodological issues and describe the structure of the questionnaire. In this part are provided also previous studies. Finally I evaluate the results of my probe.

It also presents current state of society in terms of policy perceptions, and participation in elections. The core of the work is to present Downs' rational choice theory, different views on it and its possible extension in terms of criticism. The basic variables introduced are here, in particular how are percieved by various authors, what is their content and what affects them. In the analytical part, the variables are examined within the reserach aims in terms of frequency in the population and individual segments of the electorate. The primary parameters of the rational choice theory model are then tested in terms of interdependence, and in terms of their significance in the model and their influence on voter turnout. The conclusion summarizes the research results, and demonstrates evaluation of the applicability of the model to the Czech voters, the relevance of individual variables representing the rational choice...

New services and emotional management in postindustrial society
Valentová, Barbora ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Kabele, Jiří (referee)
The diploma thesis New services and emotion management in postindustrial society concerns about the new kind of services, which started to occupy a very important position in the most intimate and personal spheres of human life (partner life, bringing up or even giving birth to children). With the development of these services the society finds itself on the border of "commodification", when more and more realms of human life is governed by market mechanisms and things, which used to belong to personal life, are becoming just goods for us. The borders between these two areas are more permeable and that reflects upon borrowing of rhetorics and discourses across these realms. With shifting of boarders our ways of thinking, feeling and acting change. Some kind of depersonalization arises and our relationship to our own personal life and to its meaning is becoming mediated by those services and those, who provide them. With these changes individuals deal through involvement of emotion labor. In the thesis these mechanisms and their influence on feeling and acting on the personal level and formation of self are explored. Explored are also the functioning of contradictory mechanisms of decommodification, which are being involved when the logic of market goes too far and individuum begins to feel too...

Weak Church? One Attempt of Reneval of the Catholic Parishes in Bohemia
Tichý, Radek ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Lužný, Dušan (referee) ; Nešpor, Zdeněk (referee)
The thesis deals with the process in Roman Catholic dioceses in the Czech Republic, which in the first decade of the new century tried to reform the structure of the parishes and renew their religious life. The data gathered during several years of the field research mainly in the Archdiocese of Prague are interpreted using the sociology of space and sociology of organizational change. The successful reform of the structure of parishes and unsuccessful reform of religious life, intended as a goal of the whole process, is explained as caused by so called operational exhaustion of the Church actors, actual isolation of single hierarchical layers and practical unenforceability of the pastoral decisions. The thesis includes also the discussion about the organizational character of the Catholic Church, about the possibilities of comparison of the Czech and French experience, and about the external and internal secularisation of the Czech catholicism.

The work explores the theoretical knowledge of the effects of electronic communication on the fuctioning of the working team on trust, member satisfaction, self evaluation through empowerment and cohesion. To verify the obtained results the explorative study in the natural environment of the working team, intensively using electronic communications, were done. The main methodwas the analysis of theories of electronic communication and the functioning of teams under working environment conditions. For explorative study the method of observations was used, as well as unstructured interviews and questionnaires. After analysing the current theoretical knowledge and the definition of main directions of the exploration, the work focuses on the exploration study of the team in the natural working environment with higher levels of virtualization. In addition to several theories of rational choice and theories of the impact of communication technology on social relations the concept of Human Relations was used as an crucial explanatory apparatus for findings, obtained in the exploratory study. A key finding was the dominance of social relations in communication, which outweighed the rational theory of choice and technological determinism. An additional finding was how the contextual situations determines...

Right extremism in CZ 2007-2010
Půbalová, Božena ; Tuček, Milan (advisor) ; Kabele, Jiří (referee)
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of right-wing extremism in the Czech Republic during 2007-2010 which is viewed from the socio-constructivist perspective of the sociological concept of moral panic. The theoretical part focuses on definition of the terms right-wing extremism and moral panic with regard to their evolution and various approaches in social theory and also briefly describes the situation and significant subjects of the Czech extremist right-wing scene in the analyzed period. The analytic part presents media content of four selected aspects and cases of right-wing extremism as published in nationally released newspaper Mladá fronta DNES which is examined in depth using qualitative content analysis. The task of the analysis was to determine to what extent and by which specific ways the representation of these cases in given newspaper fulfills the aspects and processes of an ideal type of moral panic, represented by Klocke and Muschert's hybrid model of moral panics, and how the cases are put in the general framework of constructing the right-wing extremism as a prominent social problem and a moral panic.
