Social Work with a Family in the Reaction to Changes of Forms of Partner Relationships
BUDKOVÁ, Kateřina
This research focuses on issues of alternative coexistence of families, which structure differs from the one of a traditional family. An example of the traditional family structure is a married couple with their own or adopted children; as opposed to cohabitation, singles, or parenting without a partner. The goal of this work is to identify the reasons for an alternative family structure. Moreover, why do people choose to live in a non-marital status, single, and parenting without a partner? Individuals living in the alternative family structure were chosen for this study. Data were collected by using qualitative phenomenological method of research. A phenomenon of the new alternative family structure was being researched, and the goal was to identify the reasons that lead to the chosen alternatives of family and marriage. A semi-structured interview technique was used to collect data along with a method called "snowball" strategy. The goal of the research was to answer the main question: What are the reasons that lead to alternative forms of family life? The research showed several possible causes of why, in today's modern society, people choose marriage less and are not interested in traditional ways of family living, but prefer other forms of coexistence. This work can be used as a base for future research of this issue. The data could show how nowadays families live in a modern society.

Does the quality of relationships within the primary family cause the preference of unmarried cohabitation between young people?
VOSTOUPALOVÁ, Jana
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find an answer to the question: Is experience with relations in a primary family where a person grew up a reason for current preferences of unmarried cohabitation between young people? Various forms of family, a brief summary of changes of the forms and the functionality of family from a historical perspective, a functional description of primary family (i.e. ?nuclear? or fundamental family) and a description of its influence on children are presented in the theoretical part of the thesis. Furthermore, a component analysis of the institution of marriage as a legitimate foundation of family is described, as well as an explanation of a reason for contemporary preferences of unmarried cohabitation. The theoretical part is followed by an empirical part, in which qualitative research is shown. The survey was conducted among young people living in unwed relations. The aim of the research was not only to map the level of relations in primary families of the respondents and a possible reflexion of their domestic experience on their consequent choice of the specific type of living, but also to map the respondents´ personal experience with their own relational level and consequently to map their attitudes towards the institution of marriage itself.

Semi-presidentialism: President in the French Fifth Republic
Jarolímová, Lucie ; Reschová, Jana (advisor) ; Kuta, Martin (referee)
In 1958 the French Fifth Republic was established. The creation of the Fifth Republic was in the interest of many researchers due to its specificity. A political scientist Maurice Duverger found an inspiration for a new type of the political system in the emergence of the new republic. Duverger's theory of semi-presidentialism became the fundemental for further study and it became a model for many emerging regimes. The main aim of the thesis is to analyze the president's position in the French semi-presidential political system. The theoretical part of the thesis describes an essence of the semi-presidentialism, its characteristics and the role that president plays in this system. The empirical part focuses on the president's constitutionally enshrined powers and it outlines the reforms that had an impact on the institution of the president. This part also answers the question why the president's influence depends so much on his relationship with the prime minister.

Investigation and Valuation of Families´ Functionality
ABESKOVÁ, Žaneta
This bachelor{\crq}s work is intended to focus on family, its functionality and values thereof. The work is aimed at assessing the validity and utility of the questionnaire according to the model created by Dunovsky that was designed to research into ways of family functionality. The theoretical part is trying to give us a closer look at and define the term ``family{\crqq}, and it primarily concerns with its key functions, especially those related to biological reproduction, economic function of the family, emotional and social-behavioral function, and their disorders thereof. It also demonstrates the historical development of the family, showing how the customary family structure had been gradually changing over the time, through which it was created; from the essentially monogamous family, resting on significant patriarchal controls, till its current modern family structures and forms of coexistence. The theoretical part also includes a description of building individual family relations and the significance of parental cohabitation for each child{\crq}s well-being. Due consideration has also been given to current problems that are affecting today{\crq}s Czech family. The practical part is then focused on the assessment, measured by the diagnostic Family Functionality Questionnaire by Dunovsky, which was performed in 25 families in the village of Velke Mezirici. The qualitative research method of questioning and the structured written questionnaire technique were employed with the aim of proving its validity and utility even nowadays, and thus trying to either confirm or refute the stipulated hypothesis that the Functionality Questionnaire by Dunovsky from 80´s needs to be updated. Obviously performing the goal of the work and confirming this hypothesis are sufficiently deep to provide the result of the research.
