Legal and social psychological aspects and the consequence of relationship between father and daughter with the focus on the choice of partner
Skorkovská, Helena ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
In my work, with the title Law and Social-Psychological Aspects and its Impact on the Relationship between Father and Daughter with the focus on the choice of partner, I introduce issues of interpersonal interaction between father and daughter from different points of view. I use mainly knowledge from the fields of the law and psychology because both fields shade into each other and complement each other. Especially social psychology is close to the law because it looks into the behaviour of people within the social system from which law, as the system of binding standards copying values of the community, originated. At the theme processing I derived knowledge from the work of well-known sociologists, social psychologists, marriage counsellors and lawyers and even from empirical knowledge gained for the purpose of my diploma work under the terms of the investigation with the help of written questionnaire of which results I state in the fourth chapter and in the appendix. In the first chapter I deal with typical father's roles and on the base of thoughts and opinions of Czech and foreign specialists I explain the impact on forming the daughter's personality. I mention how the ideal way functions in relationship between father and daughter but mostly I focus on father who is either physically or...

Discrimination against Roma in the Czech Republic ?
Buday, Marek ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
1 Abstract - Discrimination against Roma in Czech Republic? The purpose of my thesis is to analyse the issue of discrimination against the Roma people in the Czech Republic, particularly from the perspective of the state - whether the Roma ethnic group in our country is indeed discriminated against and how the state copes with this possible racial discrimination. This theme became more important in connection with the riots in Šluknov in 2011. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. Chapter One deals with the history of Roma-related legal acts promulgated in our lands. It covers the history from the arrival of the Roma in our lands, the promulgation of legal acts during the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and Czechoslovakia, until the effort of the Communist Party to assimilate them. Chapter Two is focused on the discrimination against Roma in education. In this chapter I analyse the judgment of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights on the case D. H. and others vs. Czech Republic. On this judgement, the court held that there was discrimination against the Roma concerning their access to education and violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and its protocols by the Czech Republic. After an evaluation of this judgement I propose some measures which could lead to the elimination...

Cultural and Historical Roots and Relations of Stereotypes and Prejudices
Kosek, Jan ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Přibáň, Jiří (referee)
Doctoral thesis "Cultural and Historical Roots and Relations of Prejudices and Stereotypes", segmented into the introduction, eleven chapters and a conclusion, focuses above all on the genesis of certain prejudices within the frame of western culture and civilization. Principal attention is devoted to the Roman and Christian anti-Judaism, as being transformed into the modern anti-Semitism during the times of Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment. In 19th century, when the movement of national particularism and sectionalism prevailed over universalism, Zionism came into existence. National prejudices and stereotypes became a fundamental part of collective consciousness and of collective views and conceptions of Europeans and thus became one of the major causes of both World Wars and the holocaust. The idea of "Volksgeist", through which J. G. Herder tried to prove unique cultural spirit possessed by each nation, acquired totally unexpected, accidental and unintentional unraveling. Alerting historical development still does not suggest that we may survive without any stereotypes and prejudices that are nothing else but firmly fixed and rigid attitudes. Every standpoint as a part of psychic personality structure still possesses important value function. By means of our standpoints we express ourselves and the...

Reflections of totalitarian regimes in Poland and Czechoslovakia after 1989.
Lunter, Jakub ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Mucha, Ivan (referee)
Reflexia totalitných režimov v Poľsku a Československu po roku 1989 Coming to term with totalitarian past in Poland and Czechoslovakia after the year 1989 The aim of the thesis is to compare the process of redistribution of justice (coming to term with communist past) in Poland and Czechoslovakia (with the emphasis on the Czech part of previous federal state) after the fall of authoritarian regime. In order to be able to understand all the circumstances and the discrepancies of these two transitions, the thesis analytically compares the way how transition was proceeded in both countries using Huntington typology of transition. Based on Huntington and transitional justice theories, Poland went through slow transition since new elites had to negotiate every piece of an agreement, which took many years for Poland to transform into democratic country with all basic aspects of liberal democracy. While in Czech republic, transition took merely two weeks which is considered to be "hectic" type of transition. Based on the thesis, hectic transition had an influence on quick legislative changes enacting administrative lustration, while Polish progressive transition (and therefore strong necessity to cooperate for longer period of time with communist leaders) caused delay of administrative lustration. Hectic...

Professional ethics in the practice of attorney-at-law
Černá, Lucie ; Sláma, Milan (advisor) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
Professional ethics in legal practice Key words: ETHICS, ADVOCACY, PROFESSIONAL ETHICS The primary subject of my diploma thesis is professional ethics related to carrying out advocacy in the Czech Republic and institutions related to the ethics of solicitors. The reason for my choice of the aforementioned subject is mainly my experience in a legal office, where I have encountered many positive and negative approaches to carrying out this profession, and also the public's interest in the ethics of advocacy, which is growing concurrently with the rising needs of citizens to use services by legal consultants and representatives. In the first chapter of my work I describe the key terms (ethics, morals, law), definition of which is fundamental for understanding the issue of professional ethics and I also outline the mutual relations between these terms. In the second chapter I briefly present the short but varied history of advocacy in the Czech Republic, which began in the 12th Century. The third chapter focuses on definition of the institute of professional ethics. The first part concerns professional ethics as a set of moral standards valid for a specific profession and the second part defines professional ethics in relation to carrying out advocacy. The third part of the third chapter is called the...

Searching and finding: Jewish identity of Czech women
Vyžvaldová, Kateřina ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Uherek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Kosek, Jan (referee)
The goal of the dissertation thesis is to present and to analyze experiences of Czech lewish women who discover their lewish roots and of those who are becoming lewish through conversion in Prague and in Israel. These experiences are placed in the context of general understandings of religion, religious conversion, ethnic identity, authenticity and women's choices about their roles in society in the 21st century. I examine the ways, in which these women conduct their search for forms of lewish affiliation, their struggle to construct model s of being lewish, and their attempts at legitimizing or authenticating their belonging to the lewish collective. The thesis presents a qualitative study of lewish identity in young Czech women between ages 23 and 31, drawn from across Czech Jewish community. I conducted 16 semistructured in-depth interviews and spent 5 months doing participant observation. The narrative analysis employs the principles of grounded theory (as described by Glaser & Strauss 1967, Strauss & Corbin 2007). The analysis focuses on the patterns involved in narrating identity.

Social and psychological grounds for, and legalization of the holocaust
Paleček, Lukáš ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Mucha, Ivan (referee)
Title of the thesis: Social-Psychological Causes and the Legalization of the Holocaust Summary: Although the Holocaust (a word for suffering of millions of individual people of vastness that stretches beyond our imagination) is a rather distressing topic I chose to carry out this re- search for two reasons, which prevailed. First, the experience shows that extreme situations reveal many latent features of human psyche - studying them is tempting. Second, the Holo- caust is a morally and politically important and still topical theme because not forgetting evil is a manner of its prevention. The purpose of my thesis is to present (and emphasise) the idea that the tragedy of the Holo- caust did not merely have causes, which can be described as political or economic (or exclu- sively psychiatric - which is perhaps the most dangerous simplification), but that a significant part of what happened is explainable from the point of view of social psychology. The second of the main goals of the thesis is to analyse anti-Semitic law (and very briefly also anti- Gypsies law) of the war Slovak state. To integrate researches in the two aforementioned scientific disciplines (social psychology and legal history) in a coherent unit I chose to use the Czech penal law's concept of elements of crime. There are four basic...

Sociology of knowledge and its impact on a society
Havel, Tomáš ; Kosek, Jan (referee) ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor)
51 Sociology of Knowledge and Its Influence upon the Society SUMMARY The law, representing one of the specific systems of the society, can be viewed on different levels. These levels namely include the normative, axiological and legal- sociological level. Within the context of social sciences we examine the law as social phenomenon acting upon the society. Through mythology, and primarily through various forms of legal communication, this influence constitutes the legal awareness that is subsequently influenced by biogenic, psychogenic and social factors. In the broadest sense, the notion of knowledge denotes a set of information or concepts of certain facts. The knowledge encompasses not only theoretical knowledge but also practical techniques and skills, i.e. ways by which theoretical knowledge becomes a part of practice. The starting point of the present work is the view of the society through the eyes of the sociology of knowledge. Between the systems of knowledge, language and law, there exists a connection that develops in history, within the society differentiated into segments, as well as vertically and horizontally. In the modern (industrial) period, the field of social sciences is viewed through the systems theories that are deeply rooted in natural sciences, namely biology. At present we regard...
