Poverty and social exclusion: an ethical challenge for the Czech society
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Lucie
The thesis deals with the role of the state and society in their attitudes to poverty and social exclusion. The introductory part aims at characterising the phenomenon of poverty and social exclusion, and deals with the issue of how the society perceives poverty. It focuses on the concept of the culture of poverty, and attention is given to the need of solidarity, social justice and the social state. The following part of my thesis deals with the extent of poverty and social exclusion in the Czech Republic, as well as possibilities of a social safety net in the Czech Republic. It describes particular examples of the manifestation of social exclusion and poverty in the Czech society, especially in the sphere of housing, opportunities in the labour market and falling into destructive debts. It sheds light on the situation of Romanies as the worst affected population group. The current situation in the Czech Republic shows that the attitude of the society to poverty as a personal fault and failure, impedes mutual solidarity, and generates strategies connected with repression that fail to understand the causes of poverty. For this reason, they cannot be adequately efficient. The society should react to, consider and efficiently solve poverty-related problems. Inspiration may be found in Christian ethics and its concept of human dignity.

The introductory theoretical part describes the general background of social field work, it defines the concept of the term social exclusion, and locations in Pilsen are presented (for example Jateční, Plachého, Resslova Street and others) with the specification of problems and needs of clients in those locations. The practical part is realized by expert interviews with social workers from the organization People in Need in Pilsen, and their aim is the definition of problematic lines of work. Questions focus on to measure the sense of meaning and satisfaction for social workers, whether their work meets the target of service, or what the objectives of services prevent, where social workers see the limitations of their work and whether the problems couldn´t be influenced by their activities.
