Ethical preconditions of parental decisions in settling affairs concerning minors
TŮMOVÁ, Kateřina
The thesis opens with the distinction of the concepts of a human being and a person. It then discusses two important philosophical approaches towards these concepts: exclusive and inclusive. It further deals with the relationship of a person to his or her closest surroundings and the acquisition of self-ownership, thanks to which a person can meaningfully pronounce "I". The thesis thus attempts to unfold the way of thinking that leads towards ethical decision making. In the second part of the thesis, contemporary ethical theories as utilitarianism, individualism and hedonism are discussed. A practical study of custodial files at the Authority of Social and Legal Protection of Minors (OSPOD) in a district town in South Bohemia follows, which examines - from the available judgments of the district court - how parents are able to cope with such a binding turning point in their life as divorce or separation from a partner. The thesis attempts to evaluate clearly the different behaviour of adults during processes of settling their relationships towards their minor children, as they are described in the court case studies. Synoptical graphs are used to indicate which types of behaviour occur and to what extent during actions in court. At the end of the thesis, the research and its surprising and hopefully optimistic outcome for future activities of OSPOD is summarized.
