The Role of the Media in the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley
Pánková, Tereza ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Handl, Vladimír (referee)
The Bachelor thesis The Role of the Media in the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley focuses mainly on the events of 1964, when Berkeley became the center of American political activism. In 1964, the university administration prohibited all political activity on the campus. The goal of the Free Speech Movement was to change this decision. The students were able to persuade the administration and their freedoms were restored. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part introduces the characteristics of the whole conflict, concentrates on the sources of the conflict as well as its phases and summarizes the impact and aftermath of the movement. The second part deals with the treatment of the movement by media and is divided into three chapters. The first focuses on tendency of the media to accuse the protestors of radicalism. The students participating in the movement were often called communists or beatniks. The second chapter is devoted to Mario Savio, the leader of the movement and the effect media had on his role. The media turned Mario Savio into a national celebrity, while other leading figures were completely ignored by the journalists. The last chapter concerns with the Daily Californian, Berkeley student newspaper, which had a big impact on the movement. Thanks...

Reality as Self, Thing and Their Relation
Jahoda, Lukáš ; Hill, James (advisor) ; Karásek, Jindřich (referee)
The meaning of this work is to grasp the development of early-modern philosophy into "modern" philosophy on the basis of the subject-object issue, which is considered and demonstrated as ontologically entirely fundamental. The expression of this development is illustrated for reason of deeper clarification of the sense and meaning of modern philosophy. The ontology of early-modern philosophy is essentially determined through the categories of subject and object, self and thing. The most universal nature of this ontology is based on object of reality fixation which is self, thing, or both. The notions of self and thing are in this work introduced in their totality through the extreme positions of two early-modern philosophers. The demonstration of the extreme philosophy of the subject is Berkeley. The demonstration of the extreme philosophy of the object is Spinoza. On the basis of explication of their ontology is explicated the universal nature of early-modern ontology. The end of early-modern ontology and its transition into "modern" ontology happens through the reconstruction of the subject-object figure. The author of this reconstruction is Hegel. Reality is now placed neither into the subject neither into the object, but into their mutual relation.
