Ethical Dilemmas of Social Worker in a Retirement Home
TONAROVÁ, Pavlína
The diploma thesis focuses on the ethical dilemmas of social workers in homes for the elderly. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis presents the professional bases for the research conducted in nursing homes. Theoretical chapters that result from the issue of old age, types of provided care, and examples of services offered to seniors are supplemented by the practical part. This is based on the experience of individual social workers, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted. The essential factors in monitoring are recurring situations of social workers which they perceive as difficult in relationship with a client as well as the client´s relations to the environment and family. All this fundamentally affects an individual's satisfaction with the place where they must spend their late life.

Ethical dilemmas of social working with children with malfunction of behaviour
VOŠAHLÍKOVÁ, Iva
The aim of the thesis is to articulate individual dilemmas in social work with children with behavioural problems. Thanks to the specification of the facility in which I work as a social worker, i.e. an educational institution for girls, which includes a unit for underage mothers with children, I will break down at work the various dilemmas associated with working with this target group. The dilemma itself may be whether pregnant underage girls should be placed in institutions of institutional education, whether they are competent to care for their child when they are still children themselves. They have behavioural problems, some of them also suffer from psychiatric disorders, are or have been drug users. They have different value orientations. Social workers in institutional education deal with various dilemmas, it is (according to Matthew): formalisation and deformation, professionalisation and deprofessionalisation, normalisation and abnormality, assistance and social control, polyvalence and specialisation. In Musil's view, complex or simplified objectives can be addressed, neutrality or favoritism, procedural or situational approach, material or non-material assistance, intervention or non-intervention. The work will be complemented by ethical theories that can help a social worker make decisions.

Ethical Dilemmas of Using Humanitarian Drones
Pavlíková, Markéta ; Střítecký, Vít (advisor) ; Hynek, Nikola (referee)
Unmanned aircraft vehicles were primarily used for military purposes and are still used for them. Not only for this reason is their introduction for humanitarian aims disputable, raising various dilemmas. Supporters of humanitarian drones put emphasis on/emphasize their speed, security, data amount and the possible employment of new technology in extreme environments. Critics of humanitarian technologization stress the loss of neutrality and impartiality, politicization and militarization of humanitarian aid. Consensus does not even exist amongst academics in the field. Contemporary literature is primarily targeted on the controversy of dual-usage of UAVs and on potential technical advantages with emphasis on immediate assistance. The literature dealing with ethical issues of humanitarian drones in connection to humanitarian and development practice outside the conflict zone is almost absent, and only marginally or indirectly treats the issue. The aim of this paper is to analyse potential advantages and disadvantages of humanitarian drones' proliferation within the theoretical framework of The Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and Non-Governmental Organizations in Disaster Relief, which deals with basic dilemmas in humanitarian aid. This thesis does not...

Ethics of war journalism: ethical dilemmas and strategies for solving them through the eyes of a war journalist
Štegmannová, Tereza Anna ; Železný, Jakub (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of war journalism. The main aim of the work was to explore specific ethical quandaries that war correspondents face and how they approach them. In countries where conflict is taking places, war correspondents are under incessant pressure and they witness disasters, suffering and death. At the same time, they are under pressure from the media - their employers - to provide immediate information which should evoke the most intense emotions. Together with this issue, war correspondents also have to face scrunity coming from the public. The empirical part employs a qualitative research approach, more specifically in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with seven prominent figures of the czech war journalism field. The research proves that the war correspondents'approach towards ethical quandaries is affected by two aspects - motivation to elaborate the topic of war and the economical situation of media and journalists as well. At the same time, five fields of the most frequent ethical quandaries war correspondents may encounter were defined - objectivity, engagement, work with the information, social networking services and emotions.
