Parents of vegan children and adolescents awareness about the main principles and risks of vegan diet
Šenkýřová, Hana ; Selingerová, Eliška (advisor) ; Heniková, Marina (referee)
Veganism is a way of life based on the effort to eliminate or reduce as much as possible any form of exploitation and abuse perpetrated on animals for human needs. From a dietary point of view, we use the term veganism to exclude all foods of animal origin from the diet. Plant-based diets bring indisputable health benefits, but there may also be certain risks that need to be avoided. In recent years, interest in this lifestyle has increased and we are increasingly encountering it among children, even the youngest, who are particularly prone to health problems resulting from dietary errors. This work is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part contains information about the diet during pregnancy and lactation, in childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, attention is paid to veganism, especially from a nutritional point of view. The possible risks of plant diets in children and the recommendations and attitudes of health organizations are presented. The main goal of the practical part of the work was to map what awareness of the mentioned risks and recommendations parents of vegan-eating children and adolescents have and whether they also follow the recommendations in practice. I was also interested in whether and how communication on this topic between parents and...

Vastlová, Markéta ; Cirklová, Jitka (advisor) ; Janas, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is, as the itself name indicates, concerned with the concept of education of children by their parents - vegetarians, possibly vegans. What is examined is whether they are trying to transfer their own model of values - vegetarianism or veganism onto the child, but also what aspects will influence their future value orientation the most during the course of their primary socialisation. The influence of the informing parent's partner as well as that of grandparents on both sides is considered, further on the influence of the educational institution the child attends is factored in. It is there where the child is confronted with different norms and values than those that the child can be familiar with from the home and parents are then have to resolve the arisen situation. The thesis itself is divided into three main sections which are the following: Theoretical Introduction, Methodology and Research.The first section is dedicated to the theoretical background enabling the confimation of data necessary for the analysis itself. Specifically it outlines the value basis of vegetarianism, explains the difference between vegetarianism and its more radical form veganism. It delineates the influence of family and educational institutions on the latter value orientation of the child....

Spirituality in veganism and vegetarianism.
Schejbalová, Eliška ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Tesárek, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of spirituality in the field of vegetarianism and veganism. The main goal of this thesis is to find out how and when is the spirituality formed in narratives of the respondents, who are vegetarians or vegans and how do they construct it. The results of this work are obtained using a qualitative research, mostly in form of semi-structured in-depth interviews with sensitivity to the ways that the narratives are constructed. These interviews took place mainly in online space due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This thesis connects several areas of theory, which later appear in the narratives of respondents. The main theoretical framework for this thesis is concept of mindful body by Nancy Scheper- Hughes and Margaret Lock, concept of purity by Mary Douglas, theory of Dark Green Religion by Bron Taylor and views of the boundaries between people and animals by Margo DeMello. This thesis and its conclusions can serve as a basis for subsequent research on the topic, since this thesis formed as a certain view of the field of spirituality in veganism and vegetarianism.

No Grain, No Gain: Vegan Athletes' Self-Perception of Corporeality
Rutová, Simona ; Grygar, Jakub (advisor) ; Orcígr, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the corporeality of vegan athletes. It aims to clarify how the members of a specific vegan athlete community perceive their corporeality. It also describes the corporeality shaping process and how the process is affected by the community and by the shared body practices - mainly vegan diet and sports activities. The main concepts concerning this issue are habitus, embodiment, and the mindful body. This thesis's key ideas derive from Merleau-Ponty's views on corporeality, Csordas' embodiment, and Scheper-Hughes's and Lock's mindful body, which provided an analytical framework for this research. The research highlighted the importance of a strong community, which vegan athletes build. They can then act on the bodies of the community members and thus make bodies presenting veganism as sufficient. It is a sport that plays a crucial role in this, as it keeps bodies healthy and makes them strong. Sport thus functions as a defense for their practices, which are in the community's eyes the right way of living and respond to the current environmental crisis and immoral abuse of animals. It is the effort to defend and present veganism as sufficient that influences the practices shared in the researched community. These practices subsequently affect the formation and perception of the...

The influence of veganism on the social life of an individual
Hlavová, Karla ; Orcígr, Václav (advisor) ; Senft, Lukáš (referee)
In this bachelor's thesis, as the name suggests, I deal with the issue of veganism and its subsequent reflection in the social lives of respondents (family, friends, partners, unpleasant situations). I research and clarify life situations that involve a variety of lifestyles and ways of eating. The individual work is divided into the three following parts: the theoretical anchoring of the researched problem, the methodology used and the subsequent research part. In the introductory, theoretical part, I use various concepts to understand veganism from a sociological perspective. In the second, methodological part of the work, I focus on the quantitative exploratory method, data collection, which I obtained through an online questionnaire and a description of the research file. The last, final part is the presentation and interpretation of the obtained results and the conclusions drawn from them. The work brings results confirming the existence of the influence of veganism on the social life of the individual, in each of the mentioned dimensions. The influence occurs mainly in the area of family background, where respondents are most often exposed to prejudice and pressure. The influence of veganism is also felt by the respondents within their social circle, partnerships (eg when choosing a partner)...
