Coufal, Jiří ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Matějek, Jaromír (referee)
English Abstract Possibilities of Justifying Ethical Principles for Dealing with Conceived Human Life This thesis proposes the spectrum of ethical questions connected with interventions into the conceived human life and suggests ways, how to answer these questions. Following up the limited expressions of the Scripture about life of man before nativity, it reminds the history of a conceived human life in the church tradition and its teaching. It refers to the dignity of man as a person from the philosophical and theological point of view and proposes reasons making the meaning, that the human embryo is a person already from the conception, well-founded. It considers the opinion opposition of its meaning, which comes out from empirical positions, from the reasons of its unity and its inability to propose proofs, as a mere doubt, which cannot cut out an existence of a human person from the moment of conception. Further this work deals with the real and ethical aspect of the individual interventions into the human life. Namely deals for example with the interruption, contraceptive methods, assisted reproductive technology, problems of embryonic stem cells, cloning and gene therapies. It mentions public end professional discussion, international conventions and the Czech national legislation in that field. The...

The theological reasons for the Church's charity
Daly, Jana ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Štica, Petr (referee)
The theological reasons for The Church's charity The Roman Catholic Church has three major missions - liturgy, evangelization and deacony. Charity had been given an organised structure in the first century A.D when the apostels chose seven men, the deacons, and so established it indefinitely in church life. The goal of this thesis was to find the origins of the third church mission, charity. The first written part describes charity from its historical point of view. It also introduces several saints who had dedicated their lives to charity, while it focuses on their motivation. To demonstrate the importance of charity work The Orthodox Church is discussed, which is famous for its low ambition in the field of organised help. The second part of the theses interprets the biblical and theological origins of charity. Before closing up with a final chapter, it discusses themes that are connected with this subject. It describes the meaning of love, brotherhood, responsibility and the value of human life. The final chapter arrives at the main point of the subject - the main and only source of neighbourly love - Holy Trinity, God's justice and Image of God in man. KEYWORDS: charity, love, Trinity, Catholic, Orthodox.

Children's commercial sexual Abuse as a Topic for Theological Ethics
Milfait, René ; Rethmann, Albert-Peter (referee) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
RESUME Not every child can enjoy a happy childhood in an environment that provides for delivering of his/her essentials of life, and thus allows for complex development of his/her personality. Not only in the Czech Republic, but in the whole world, there are still children that suffer from physical and psychic neglect and abuse, as well as sexual exploitation; very often, the abuser is a family member or someone known to the child. The most serious form of maltreatment caused to the child in today's world is the sexual abuse for financial or other economic reasons, i.e. the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC). This involves trafficking, prostitution, sex tourism, pornography, incest, rape and sexual harassment. The submitted thesis discusses commercial sexual exploitation of children within the framework of theological ethics. The phenomenon is described and examined here and related challenges and suggestions are defined with respect to the individual as well as social ethics. The problem is partly discussed also in context of the legal ethics, because the manifestations of CSEC are considered vice crimes or sexual assaults. The first, more general, chapter of the thesis is focused on the definition of the Child Abuse and Neglect Syndrome (CAN) and the process of recognizing the phenomenon in...

Tchaj-ti cchüan and its use in work with seniors
Bendová, Kateřina ; Ovečka, Libor (advisor) ; Eliáš, Vojtěch (referee)
The topic of this paper is a traditional Chinese health and exercise system called Tchaj-ťi čchüan. In the first chapter I introduce the system's philosophical roots, Taoism, and its connection with social work, and, due to fundamental differences between eastern and western modes of thoughts, I seek to give context, and make understandable the thoughts of and origins of tchaj-ťi. Next I describe what tchaj-ťi means, and a bit about its history. Because Tchaj-ťi has many different schools, it is important to describe each main style, as they all comprise the totality. The following chapter is a description of various styles of Tchaj-ťi art. The fourth chapter is a human connection of its physical and spiritual dimension. Physical dimension is important as spiritual and Tchaj-ťi connects both of them so that person can develop both of them equally. The next part is a discussion of the practical usage of tchaj-ťi, in particular with seniors. The chapter following is about Taoist tchaj-ťi, and is instrumental in giving some examples of this art playing a role in social work. The last chapter concerns my personal experiences with tchaj-ťi čchüan, and observations coming from my personal involvement. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
