The issue of social justice in the contemporary system of public politicy of social security
SUCHÁNKOVÁ, Ilona
This paper analyzes the content of the concept of social justice involvement in the broader context of the application of the principles of state social policy applied in the field of social security of citizens. The first part is devoted to the major theories of justice of the last century and their analysis in terms of the evaluation criteria of two most prominent schools of thought, i.e. liberalism and communitarianism. The paper describes the difference of opinion on the formation of a just society with emphasis on the difficulty of choice associated with preferences of the basic ideas of liberalism and communitarianism. The conclusion contains argumentative attitudes related to a different interpretation of the concept of social justice in the context of the degree of implementation of the principles of solidarity, subsidiarity and market mechanism in the field of social policy. What has become desirable in today's society is a necessity for legislative changes, but chiefly changes in citizens' behaviour and access to their own lives.

Day care users' human rights protection
VANDASOVÁ, Lucie
This thesis shortly refers to the history of social service in the Czech Republic. It determines the basic terms, which were used: nursing service, standards of quality, human rights defence. The theortical part of this work also concerns the law on social care, its meaning and basis for defending the human rights of social care users. The practical part of this work summarizes the outputs of several dialogs and analyzes the data from this research. Within this research it was verified whether the users of social care are satisfied with the level of human rights protection and if they really percieve it as the most important right protected by theCharter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms: the right to human dignity. Another part of the research deals with the questin whether the users and public know about the responsibility of the provider to have the human rights protection anchored in its documents and whether the users and their families want to actively participate in the creation of the corresponding rules. An integral part of this work is a draft standard for the nursing care that could help defend human rights anchored in theCharter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.

Ethical aspects of substitute care in the context of legislation changes in the Czech Republic.
KŮRKOVÁ, Dagmar
My work analyses the legislation changes in the area of social and legal protection of children in the Czech Republic that have been introduced over the last two years. This work focuses on impacts of these changes in the practice of transferring children to substitute care as well as ethical aspects directly connected with this process. Laws impacting the social and legal protection of children are being compared in order to understand the legal rights of children. The consequences of the legislative changes have a direct effect on the processes of handing children to substitute care. The work is not only concerned with the practical impacts, but also with the ethical side of the problem which was identified as the most important in my thesis. Case reports from my own practice provide a complementary evidence to the reader to better understand the process of placement of children into substitute care both at professional and ethical levels.

Human dignity in old age
PEKÁRKOVÁ, Lenka
The work is aimed on the concept of human dignity in terms of age. The first chapter is devoted to the basic definition of human dignity and human rights. I describe a certain views of human dignity and human rights. The second chapter is devoted to the perspectives of an age and changes in the old age, which are of great importance for the preservation of human dignity. An important part of an old age is a matter of dying, which is nowadays bound with a form of palliative care associated with the difficult ethical issue of euthanasia. The concluding part summarizes the problem of an old age that is not an easy life stage for everybody, and therefore it is important to try, in the term of the helping profession, to keep the human dignity of the old people if they do not meet it in their neighbourhood.

Poverty and social exclusion: an ethical challenge for the Czech society
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Lucie
The thesis deals with the role of the state and society in their attitudes to poverty and social exclusion. The introductory part aims at characterising the phenomenon of poverty and social exclusion, and deals with the issue of how the society perceives poverty. It focuses on the concept of the culture of poverty, and attention is given to the need of solidarity, social justice and the social state. The following part of my thesis deals with the extent of poverty and social exclusion in the Czech Republic, as well as possibilities of a social safety net in the Czech Republic. It describes particular examples of the manifestation of social exclusion and poverty in the Czech society, especially in the sphere of housing, opportunities in the labour market and falling into destructive debts. It sheds light on the situation of Romanies as the worst affected population group. The current situation in the Czech Republic shows that the attitude of the society to poverty as a personal fault and failure, impedes mutual solidarity, and generates strategies connected with repression that fail to understand the causes of poverty. For this reason, they cannot be adequately efficient. The society should react to, consider and efficiently solve poverty-related problems. Inspiration may be found in Christian ethics and its concept of human dignity.

Labor aspects from the perspective of ethics and Christianity, developing countries workers' protection projects
VLČKOVÁ, Jana
In this dissertation I am analysing certain aspects of labour, especially the ones that are of significant interest to moral philosophy within the church and its catholic doctrine. In the same time I identify the foundation for freedom and dignity of labouring human being that are being degraded especially in the present time economisation process. Further, I outline the issues associated with the changes within the division of labour from industrial revolution to present day and in the same time I present issues connected with labouring human being vs. human capital. Because freedom is the foundation of humanity I also describe issues connected with human rights in the context of universal and natural law. In this way I analyse Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its defence in an intercultural environment. Lastly, besides those theoretical concepts, I evaluate an Amnesty International CR project called "Business That is Worth It" which aims at supporting companies to a responsible management of employees rights protection especially in developing countries.
