LIŠKOVÁ, Radka
This diploma thesis deals with the theme: Self-reflection of students of schools with the health and social fields of study with respect to the selected field of study. The main objective of the diploma thesis was to find out how the students' view of the chosen field has been changing in the course of study. The theoretical part contains the definition and explanation of terms related to the researched topic. Qualitative methodology was chosen for the research part of thesis. Data were collected using the technique of semi-structured interview. The interviews focused on what influences contributed to the choice of field, whether any differences in the view of the chosen field and the studied issues appeared, and possible reflection of these changes. The research group consisted of ten female students of the "University of South Bohemia in Czech Budejovice", field of study "Rehabilitation - psychosocial care for disabled children, adults and seniors" in the continuing Master's program. The resulting data were analyzed through a process of open coding. It resulted from the research that the motive for selecting the field of study was primarily a desire to help and work with people and interest in problems. Selected field did not meet the expectations of the communication partners, and the majority of them regret their decision in choosing the field of study. The reason is mainly the unsuitable structure of subjects and low salaries in the profession. The advantage of field of study is gaining useful information and competence development. Completing the practical experience is evaluated as positive. A significant part of the communication partners do not feel ready for performance of the profession. Communication partners often changed their attitude to health and social issues in the negative direction. They most often changed their opinion on Roma people. Children and the senior citizens are the most popular target groups. On the contrary, the homeless persons and the Roma people are the least popular. During the study, the communication partners are aware of their shortcomings and risks associated with the profession. All are worried about the "burnout syndrome". Most of the communication partners currently believe that they will be good workers. The obtained results can help enrich the theoretical knowledge of self-reflection of students with regard to the chosen field of study.

LIŠKOVÁ, Radka
The thesis deals with the phenomenon of the internet lifestyle. Theoretical volume of the work describes the lifestyle, all the psychological aspects of usage of the Internet. The advantages and disadvantages involved in using the Internet and statistical data regarding the usage of the Internet. The main aim of the thesis is to try to recognize inner experiences of the internet users and to understand this specific inner world. The questionnaire was done to map favourite activities used on the Internet. What motivates the Internet users and all the experiences connected with the Internet. How much are the users aware of the risks inflicted by the Internet. How it can influence the life and the relationship of respondents and the impact on their life throughout their life. To gather the data, for this survey, was applied the qualitative research method and the phenomenological access. The methodology triangulation techniques were emphasised. Among the respondents who were asked, were students of the South Bohemian University in České Budějovice. Two techniques were chosen which one of them was structured interview with open questions (2 interviews performed on 10 respondents) and a questionnaire with open questions (20 anonymous questionnaires). This was applied on chat servers. The result for this research shows that using the Internet is mainly the need to communicate and to gain information. Among the respondents? favourite activities were for example watching sitcoms or searching information. The emotions which users feel depend on the activity which they do. The positive ones are dominate to negative ones, but the frequency contradicts with the living emotions. The biggest influence of the Internet on respondents? life is to get information easily, simplified communication and the possibility to meet new people. The relationship which the respondents have towards the Internet is mostly stable. The biggest risk the respondents consider is using the Internet by small children, sharing which result in misuse of data, arranging meeting with strangers, above all on the ground of numerous occurrences of sexual aggressors etc. The cultural activities and prevention of the usage and all risks concerning the Internet should be more pursued in the future. In the short conclusion of the philosophical survey the question:"What we gain and lose because of the Internet?" The Internet provided us with the easy access to information, new ways how to meet other people, the knowledge, entertainment, etc. On the other hand it deprives us from spending free time, personal get - togetherness, motivation and loosing the childhood.
