Perceptions of Islam in Czech Society
Javornická, Ester Eliška ; Hošek, Pavel (advisor) ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (referee)
In the thesis named Perceptions of Islam in Czech Society I consider the way how czech society (or it's section) thinks about Islam and why is it that way. I consider the impressions and images that people recall when they hear the term Islam and I seek the information or sources of information that czech public has regarding Islam. I dedicated more space to the story Not without my daughter which, as I found out, was a great factor in how people form their opinions about Islam. I made a survey in a chosen group of respondents which was narrowed down to educated czech christians from Prague, so that I wouldn't work just with theoretical constructs. I was interested in their knowledge and their perception of Islam. Topics that emerged from the interviews as often connected with Islam are: (veiled) women and their status, connection with terrorism and exapansionism of Islam (which represents a threat to calm Europe). I engaged in these topics more in the theoretical part of the thesis. I compared the results of my qualitative survey with the result of quantitative research in which, on autumn 2010, the Interior Ministry charted the position of czech public towards extremism. Keywords Islam, women in Islam, terrorism, fundamentalism, islamofobia, ...

Meaningfulness of Life Despite a Physical Disability
Javornická, Ester Eliška ; Cimlerová, Pavla (advisor) ; Grohmanová, Hana (referee)
In the submitted thesis I deal with a complicated life topic of a person with a physical disability whose life cannot correspond to current expectations and demands of a contemporary person who does not have a physical disability. A man or woman with a physical disability cannot meet all the standards and demands which are imposed on a "normal" person living in today's society. Determination in the form of a physical disability continually sticks to a person. This disability never leaves him; it always reminds him that he is not the unlimited lord of his body, time, and life. All of us during our lifetime have probably met a person whose life is marked with a physical disability. It is common that they live among us. However, we may in fact know nothing about them. We can only see their "shells" - but we know nothing about what is hidden inside. Our ideas of people with physical disabilities are often distorted by a series of false myths and concepts. In my thesis, I also deal with false ideas and myths of "healthy" people in the lives of people with disabilities. However, I primarily focus on experiencing the lives of the people with disabilities themselves. I was looking for an answer to the question "Which level of meaningful life is experienced by people with physical disabilities?" I looked not only in...
