Ethical problem of loyalty in the environment of state security agencies
Kutěj, Libor ; Jinek, Jakub (advisor) ; Prázný, Aleš (referee)
This diploma thesis presents an examination of the phenomenon of loyalty in the environment of state security agencies. It seeks to provide ethical orientation in the conflict between loyalty and conscience, with particular regard to the reporting of wrongdoings committed in the exercise of rights and duties by these organs of state power from within. Primarily through the application of empirical-deductive methodology, the environment of security forces, especially intelligence services, is presented as a mental subculture with its own ethos of internal functioning, including loyalty to this professional fraternity. Two case studies are devoted to specific situations where misconduct was reported to have occurred in the exercise of the services' competencies. The findings of these case studies are interpreted in the context of the opinion of a long-standing intelligence professional on the problem of whistleblowing in the environment of special state agencies. Individuals' loyalty to professional fraternities within security forces is further examined through perspectives on "friendship" from C.S. Lewis, Aristotle, and Max Scheler. Simultaneously, emphasis is placed on the exogenous and endogenous influences that fundamentally accompany an individual's decision-making process in their conflict...

Social needs of clients in selected homes for the elderly.
JAKLOVÁ RADOVÁ, Kateřina
My thesis is divided into the theoretical part, where I describe the definition of the term senior, I also focused to old age and aging, I describe changes in old age for example. In the last chapter, I deal with the concept of needs. There are divided social needs in connection with the quality of life in old age, there is listed Maslow's pyramid of needs. The individual needs are described in detail. In the second part of my bachelor's thesis, I present the aim of the thesis, which is to map the fulfilment of social needs of clients in selected homes for the elderly from their perspective. There are also a research questions, how their social needs are met from the point of view of clients of social services for the elderly, how the social needs of clients are met from the point of view of employees and what are the differences between individual homes for the elderly in meeting the social needs of their clients. The third part presents the methodology and technique of data collection, the research set is described here, and the ethical side of the research is also mentioned. In my bachelor's thesis, I tried to find out the fulfilment of social needs of seniors in these homes by using questionnaire methods and interviews with employees from retirement homes (Horní Stropnice retirement home, České Velenice retirement home, Český Krumlov retirement home). The research file formed 12 clients from the Home for the Elderly Horní Stropnice, 12 clients from the Home for the Elderly Česká Velenice and 15 clients from the Home for the Elderly Český Krumlov. This number results from the number of clients who were able to complete the questionnaires. I also interviewed six employees from these three homes for elderly. The results of my research showed that in all homes for the elderly that I examined, the social needs of clients are sufficiently met. Some clients are not satisfied with the accommodation in a multiple room. The answers to the question of whether they feel fear are astonishing. Surprisingly, I have seen more responses, with clients feeling scared and some saying they should. I also found out that most seniors have contact with other clients or at least have this opportunity. Clients stated that they have the opportunity to talk about their problems and afflictions with the employees of homes for the elderly, which I perceive as positive. Clients very often use this option, talk to employees and also confide in them about their problems or worries. It is also gratifying that the family commutes to most clients at least once a week, rarely the family commuting once a month and occasionally once a year. Some questions focused on friendships and relationships between clients. I think it is beneficial for clients to be able to share a room with their partners and to share intimate moments with their partners. With this thesis, I wanted to help the general public to look into the issues of social needs of clients in homes for the elderly and it could serve as a guide for the retirement home, which are trying to meet these needs

This MA thesis deals with the text analysis of the Song of Roland. The text analysis focuses in detail on the formal, content, narrative and symbolic aspects of the Song of Roland. All those features are in the context of the literary and historical frame. The Song of Roland is one of the oldest literary pieces of French literature. It is the most famous heroic song belonging to the "Chanson de geste" and it was created in the 11th century. The main characters of the heroic poem are Charles the great, his nephew Roland, loyal friend Olivier, traitor Galeon and pagan king Marsil. The Song of Roland explores not only the family and friend relations, but the important topics are also betrayal and desire for fortune and glory. The Song deals with the matter of faith being asserted in the way which is typical for the middle ages. The story, which takes part in Spain, where the French have been besieging the pagan fort of Zaragoza for seven years, is very interesting from the historical aspects, but were more interested in the narrative - textual aspects, in which we tried to explore the relationships between the narrators. We focused on individual speeches, who speaks to whom and in which way. We asked ourselves three questions, which we have gradually answered. For the need of an analysis of individual speech...
