Špinková, Marie ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (referee)
The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how religious diversity is depicted in Bollywood (Indian commercial cinema) and what kind of impact this depiction has on society. The research part is based on analysis of five films from the last fifteen years that deal with contemporary issues caused by religious plurality in India. Themes and basic typology of depicting different religions are then deduced from this analysis. These findings are then compared with social and political circumstances that include Indian nationalism in different forms, perception of the film, role of Muslims in film industry, adumbration of the viewership nature etc. This thesis asks for meaning of the film in the multi-religious society and for influence of society on the film's meaning.

Niederlová, Petra ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (referee)
Impact of Hans Küng's Outlook on Inter-religious Collaboration in the Czech Environment Over the last few decades the Swiss theologian Hans Küng has worked towards dialogue between religions. His work has led for instance to the wording of declaration Towards a Global Ethic: An Initial Declaration, signed by representatives of all religions of the world. In this study Küng presents a general ethical agreement which can form a basis for the coexistence of all existing religions. This consensus can apply not only on a religious level but also in lesser fields such as politics, economy or management. There can be no peace without peace between religions - this is the inspiratio behind all Küng's work. Küng argues strongly for ecumenism. He seeks understanding among religions, rather than differences. He starts out from the idea that a human being is fundamentally a believer. In a time when interest in institutional religion is declining Küng takes pains to convey the religious experience to the largest possible number of people. This study maps out the effect of Küng's inter-religious efforts in the Czech territory. It looks at the reception of the inter-religious dialogue in the Czech environment and examines its conditions and implications. Keywords Hans Küng, inter-religious dialogue, religion in...

Loose one's footing: possibilities of counseling of transformation identity of apostates from Faith Movement (Word of Life). The aim of this work is to introduce the issue of apostates from the Faith Movement, particularly from the church Word of Life.

The second part of the work comprises the analysis of the concrete problems of the apostates, based on the research, that tries to suggest some of the possible ways of support focused on this target group.

Plánská, Kateřina ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Ondrušová, Jiřina (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of therapeutic elements of a homeopathic interview. First, key differences between classic medicine and homeopathy are discussed. Some of the fundamental elements in a homeopathic interview follow, concluding with more in depth examination of themes in homeopathic interviews, their principles and conduct. Finally, Roger's therapy is closely analyzed with emphasis on psychotherapeutic interviews. The last part of my thesis is devoted to the practical work on the recordings of homeopathic interviews and their analyses. In this section I am revealing the therapeutic aspects hidden inside of each individual interview. I am approaching this process firstly from the point of view of the general principles, which are characteristic for the both standpoints mentioned above (homeopathic and psychotherapeutic), and then I am selecting the concrete examples to evaluate and interpret the constituent therapeutic elements. The aim of this work is to examine and discover aforementioned therapeutic aspects of homeopathy, as well as describe therapeutic influences on homeopathic interviews.
