There are three main objectives of the thesis. The first one was to find out what is the level of knowledge on the rights of children as stated in "Convention on the Rights of the Child" of young people in the South Bohemia region, concretely near the city of Tábor (Soběslav, Sezimovo Ústí II.).

After completing studies of literature on the theme, a random selection of respondents was specified. These were pupils of 9th forms of elementary schools and students of 1st year of high school in the South Bohemia region, concretely from the city of Tábor and its surroundings (Soběslav, Sezimovo Ústí II.). The data collection was conducted in the form of a questionnaire. From the obtained data the conclusions necessary to verify the set objectives were drawn. The results were compared between girls and boys.

Increasing The Legal Awareness Among Children In Bohemian Region
STANISLAVOVÁ, Lucie
In this thesis I have concentrated on legal consciousness of children but not from their point of view, how it was in most cases of the elaboration of this topic, but from the point of view of people who actually work with children. This regards pedagogues, social workers, further school psychologists and psychologists. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the right, legal consciousness, further then with the important conception ?child?, namely from the point of view of pedagogy, psychology as well as from the viewpoint of law. The thesis deals with morals itself and also its comparison with law, further with the value system and education, on important documents regarding the rights of children, educational program and its focus on the education of law in elementary and high schools. The important section of the theoretical part are also projects focused on increasing of the legal consciousness executed in the Czech republic as well as in the Southbohemian region. 144 respondents from the Southbohemian region took part in the research, either respondents who work in an elementary or high school, eventually in non-profit organizations which work with children. The difference of the opinions between pedagogues nad other workers was found out by the research. In contrast to other workers, the pedagogues think statistically more often that children have the legal consciousness. A very interesting moment is the age since which children should be acquinted with their rights. Other workers consider the beginning of the school attendance (or even the end of the preschool attendance) as the optimal age for familiarising the children with their rights in contrast to the pedagogues who would shift this limit almost to the second degrese of elementary schools. Next founded and documentary fact was the difference in methods used for familiarising children with their rights. The pedagogues combine discussions and lectures as well as model situations. Other workers prefer only lectures and discussions. They vary also in the evaluation of time dotation devoted to the rights of children during school education. Other workers are much more critical than the pedagogues in this regard. It was proved that the pedagogues more often do not know the organizations which deal with the rights of children whereas other workers do. The whole research is assumed into SWOT analysis which determined children´s interest in their rights and their familiarising with the right already since 1st class as the most strong sides. A weak spot showed to be the lack of time in school education devoted to children´s rights together with obtaining the biggest amount of information in the family. A chance is the realization of more new projects focused on concrete spheres of the rights and also the fact that the legal consciousness should be constantly increased. The risk is insufficient knowledge of rights in the sphere of the protection of personality when easy misuse and also insufficient knowledge of rights threaten. The insufficient knowledge could result in the increase of transgressions even criminality.

Czech family in the early 21st century - an attitude to the punishment of children
ZADRAŽILOVÁ, Aneta
The topic of this bachelor?s thesis is A Czech family at the beginning of the 21st century ? the attitude to punishment of children. The theoretical part deals with the characteristics of a family and its functions. It also includes a historical outline which summarises the development of family since the Middle Ages till present day. The next chapter concerns upbringing and the styles and models thereof. The chapter that describes methods of upbringing is divided into two parts; it covers reward as well as punishment, both physical and psychological and the thin line which separates harmless punishment from abuse. Another essential part of this thesis focuses on crucial documents and the effort to legally protect children. The last chapter compares using physical and psychological punishment and their consequences. The aim of this thesis is to find out how the selected generations, within the framework of the family, view punishment as a component of traditional upbringing. This thesis uses qualitative research. The researched objects are represented by multi-generation families (parents and grandparents). To find out the necessary information, a structured semi-stanradised interview was used. Parents and grandparents from 3 different families from Třebíč were asked about their opinions on upbringing and their views on children punishment.The results of the research confirmed that present-day parents have not, to a large degree, deflected from the methods of their parents. Therefore, the most commonly used practice is inflicting punishment, including that of a physical nature. The respondents also disagree with the proposed change of law that would prohibit punishment as they appear to fear that it would eventually lead to excessive democracy and parents would lose control over their children. The work could serve for professionals who deal with the issue of punishment of children.
