Socio-ethical aspects of providing assistance to lone parents
NACHTIGALLOVÁ, Václava
The work examines the contemporary trend of raising a child with one parent, usually the mother. It deals with the various reasons that lead to this family arrangement, and highlights the problems with which a lone parent is struggling. It focuses namely on difficulties in reconciling work with caring for a child and a household, and on the resulting financial distress. The target group is introduced to readers through case studies of women living in a shelter for mothers and children in distress; the case studies are further evaluated, particularly in terms of the benefits of social services. Various types of assistance from the state are discussed, which single-parent families can benefit from; these are mainly financial support and social services. The next chapter describes alternative kinds of state aid. Attention is drawn to the pitfalls associated with the use of aid, such as dependence on social services and lack of motivation to activate one's own capabilities and to utilize one's own social environment. Possible solutions of the issue are outlined in the conclusion.

CEJPOVÁ, Anne
The phenomenon of homelessness represents an extreme expression of social exclusion and poverty. The numbers of homeless people increase as unemployment rate, high pressure and modern day societal demands on individual increase. This thesis deals with the internal and external factors that lead to this phenomenon as well as the internal and external factors that help to reintegrate them into society. The theoretical aspect discusses issues of homelessness ? concept definition, types and causes of homelessness. It also highlights the motivation and process of change in client behavior. It concludes by describing forms and types of social work associated with these types of clients. The empirical part discusses causes of homelessness and clients' motivation to change their lifestyle. The methodological approach employed is quantitative. Data was collected with the use of questionnaires from clients in low-threshold centre in Brno. The research results show that the most common causes of homelessness are material reasons associated to job loss, debt and loss of housing. Other causes include relationship problems, failed partnerships and dysfunctional family relationships. More personal causes are mental or physical disability as well as various types of addiction. This research is also focused on internal and external motivational factors leading to a change in lifestyle of homeless people. On the one hand, the results show that most homeless people are internally motivated by the desire to start a family, to have a stable background, a dignified life and money. On the other hand, they feel externally motivated by the offer of social services, the possibility of selling the Nový prostor magazine or even by family and friends. The results of this research can be used to provide feedback to organizations dealing with issues of homelessness, or to compile a professional magazine article.
