The Intractability of The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Comparing The Delegitimizing Discourse in Political Speeches by Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas from 2015 until 2018
Shin, David ; Oberpfalzerová, Hana (advisor) ; Záhora, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis views and analyzes the Israel-Palestinian conflict through the lens of Louis Kriesberg's intractable conflict theory (Kriesberg, 1998) and Daniel Bar-Tal's theory of delegitimization (Bar-Tal,1998). This work compares mutual delegitimization and the discourse of the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas by using a thematic discourse analysis. This work builds specifically on the theory of delegitimization of Neta Oren and Daniel Bar-Tal (Oren, Bar-Tal, 2007), which consists of five dimensions of delegitimization: dehumanization, trait characterization, outcasting, political labels, and group comparison. A sample of speeches of Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas from the years from 2015 until 2018 has been analyzed. The delineation is chosen in this way since in 1994, peace accords between Israel and Palestine broke down. Also in this period character of conflicts changed to so-called Third intifada, which consists of series of smaller frequent conflicts. Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas as political leaders of both countries play significant roles in the Israel-Palestinian conflict development. Their discourse and the contents of their speeches played an important role in society, because it gives it a direction. Both...

Shin, David ; Angelovská, Olga (advisor) ; Hájek, Lukáš (referee)

The changes were supposed to increase the birth rate (Song, 2003), but it is still declining, and policies are not effective (OECD, 2021). Birth rates are lowest among OECD member countries, population is aging, and economic and social consequences are being expected (Stephens, 2012, p. 7). It is in the government's interest to provide various family policies to ensure work-family life and a healthy family life (Chin, Lee, Lee, Son, Sung, 2011). The aim of this work is to partially contribute to the elucidation of the phenomenon of low fertility rate in South Korea. The thesis focuses on the questions of whether family policies tend to strengthen, whether a deeply developing social regime does not necessarily lead to social change, and whether Confucianism has a negative effect on fertility. This diploma thesis analyzes the phenomenon of low birth rates from many perspectives: economic (Becker, 1960), familialistic (Leitner, 2003) and cultural (Pfau-Effinger, 2005). In the economic part, an analysis of direct costs of South Korean families is performed, focusing on consumption expenditures on food, clothing,...
