My Thesis is aimed at the life of the Romanies in Czech society. The topic was chosen intentionally as relations between the Roma minority and the members of the major society belongs to current topics, and although the Romanies have already been living at our territory for several centuries they still remain unknown for most of the inhabitants. The aim of the Thesis was particularly to collect information on how the Romanies themselves perceive thein life in our society and to open discussion about different topics then e.g. crime or poverty. The scope was influenced by my owen work with Romay people and the isme is really familiar to me. The Thesis is dividend into two parts. The theoretical part describes the history of the Romanies, thein present situation in the Czech republic and deals with topics like racism and extremism. The practical part is based on qualitive and quantitative research. The first part interprets data obtained within a field research in selected location of České Budějovice. The research was performed in the formo f semi-controlled interview in May and June. The sekond part is based on the technice of content analysis of a primary document. A Romany magazíne Romano hangos was chosen for the purpose of the research. The selection set of my analysis consists of all the 2008 issues of Romano hangos magazíne. An article is the basic selection unit. To qualify for inclusion into the content analysis an article had to contain communication of how the Romanies perceive thein life in our society. The research results confirm that Romanies still feel like foreigners in our society.

Sensation and pain tolerance in the range of cultural vision
ČUTOVÁ, Jana
For the Diploma work we chose the theme: ``Algesia and pain tolerance across cultures``. We chose it because due to globalisation and migration of inhabitants cultures from the whole world reside in the Czech Republic. We decided for three the most numerous cultural groups in the Czech Republic, which are Czechs, Romanies and Vietnamese. These cultures, despite living in one territory, have a different history, different customs and traditions and approach differently to health and disease. They perceive pain differently, it has a different importance for them and they use different ways of calming the pain. To get to know these cultures closer in the area of pain and to describe differences between Czechs, Romanies and Vietnamese is the essential for a good quality professional and especially multicultural care. For better lucidity and coherence we divided the theoretical part into four sections. The first one is devoted to basic information about pain, its history, factors that affect algesia and its treatment. Other sections are focused gradually on each culture separately. We mention brief history of the relevant culture, pain treatment in the past and especially pain symptoms in the relevant culture, algesia and tolerance of pain. For the empirical section there were defined three targets and five hypotheses. We should find out and compare the differences in calming pain in Romany, Vietnamese and Czech culture in domestic and hospital environment. We should further find out whether the designated cultures consider pain a part of their lives and the last target was to find out the effect of pain on normal activity leading to initiation of activities for pain calming. The targets were established based on the assumption that members of nation minorities in the Czech Republic, in this work specially Romanies and Vietnamese, prefer non-pharmacological ways of calming pain to the pharmacological ones and that Czechs do not consider pain a part of their life unlike members of the nation minorities in the Czech Republic. Other assumption was that a church person bears pain better than an atheist. And last two assumptions were that Romanies have lower pain tolerance than Czechs and that Vietnamese higher. The research was carried out at a selected sample of representatives of all three cultures in form of questionnaires. On the basis of results it is possible to say that the work targets were met. The first two hypotheses were not proved and the last three were.

Hard to make out Foreigners
VERNEROVÁ, Eva
The thesis called ``Illegible foreigners{\crqq} deals with the way Českobudějovické listy (renamed Českobudějovický deník in October 2006) presents minorities living in the Czech Republic. The thesis focuses on Romanies, the most frequently mentioned minority in this south Bohemia daily. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part outlines important theo-retical concepts that should explain the current situation of minorities as pre-sented in the south Bohemia daily. The main indicator of the relationship be-tween the media, minorities and the majority society are stereotypes, which can be positive or negative. The thesis lists the main stereotypical attributes as-cribed to minorities by the media and discusses the degree of objectivity in articles that mention minorities.The second part of the thesis uses specific arti-cles on minorities published from 1 January 2004 to 31 July 2006 in the south Bohemia daily to document whether minorities are depicted in a negative or positive way and whether the articles (journalists) are objective.

New Identity of the Czech Romanies - a promise or a threat?
Říčan, Pavel
The identity of the Czech Roma is analyzed as a key problemof the mutual relationship of the Roma minority and the non-Romamajority. Growing social problems of the Roma unemployment, lackof proper education, and other factors of an unprecedented socialdisintegration call for a multi-level action from the stateand other society's institutions. Some hope is seen in the growingnational emancipation of the Roma as a nation united acrossthe borders of many countries.

The community of Romanies and the labour market
Tešný, Milan ; Hudík, Marek (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
A large number of people from various fields and disciplines has been and is engaged in the issue of one of the largest minority in the Czech Republic, the Romanies. Last but not least, this issue is also related to the political capabilities in creating the state budgets, social costs, work programs etc. I will analyze the present and past economical situation of the roman minority and try to assess the scale of functionality and sufficiency of Czech legislation in this scope. Furthermore, I would like to illustrate the behavioral patterns of this ethnic group and apply the concept of the "culture of poverty" to it, which particullary includes the tendency of prefering the immediate satisfaction of their needs without the distinctive planning to the future in the scope of funds. I will try to explain the mechanisms of so called "vicious circle" of discrimination in finding job from the point of view of the position of the roman minority in the labour market. Also the different understanding and creating of the family connections shows, why the common economical family model is unable to be applied there. Economics is a value-neutral science, that is why I will pay particular attention to the efficiency of the current labour-law legislation affecting the members of the culture of poverty, which include considerable part of the roman population and hereafter I will try to propose the alternative measures, which could be applied to this issue.

Discrimination in Labor Market - Is Solvent by Adoption of Anti-discriminatory Laws Efficient?
Třesohlavý, Pavel ; Munzi, Tomáš (advisor) ; Koblovský, Petr (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze what can be regarded as discrimination in the labor market and why discrimination in the labor market actually generates, therefore, what makes entrepreneurs (employers) discriminate. Is discrimination socially inefficient, or can non-discriminated groups benefit from it in long term? I will focus on the most frequent types of discrimination in this thesis that may occur in the labor market in Czech Republic. Concretely, it is a racial discrimination (presented by the Romany minority), age discrimination or differences in employment and remuneration between men and women. I will pay my attention also to how is this inefficiency solved by the adoption of anti-discriminatory laws by Czech Government or by institutions of European Union. Is this legislation really effective or does it bring any unintended incidences?
