The diversity of personality and spirituality types in the priesthood
Beran, Jiří ; Sládek, Karel (advisor) ; Ovečka, Libor (referee)
The diversity of personality and forms of spirituality in the priesthood Every priest, who received the serving, sacramental priesthood, should try to be another Christ. Nevertheless, each person is an original however, and his behavior is influenced by inherited characteristics, congenital conditions, and different life stories. During my studies of theology, I tried to explain the differences related to the priests I followed, by their different attitude toward Christ and his church. During my studies, I also started to perceive the importance of the priest's attitude toward the humanity of Christ. The connexion to the orthodoxy has always attraced me. While I was writing my thesis, I tried to find the answer to the differencies in the diversity, which, for many people within the church, is a problem to settle with, or to justify. So, the thesis is dedicated to the research of the personalities of the priests, to their own attitude, their own spirituality, and its influence on people. I would like this thesis to help to make people understand that we can all reach the same Destination by using more possible ways, which depend on our humanity and our nature. I am convinced that just the good spirituality is something which respects the diversity and the unrepeatability of the particular ways. Key...

The findings are of qualitative character and they were obtained from 28 respondents. The results of empirical part could provide valuable psychological material in the area, that is even nowadays still concidered to be a taboo. They could deepen research in the area that, due to the overall aging of population, would be more and more valuable.

The bachelor's thesis titled Dying and death in a hospital from the perspective of social work examines the approach of social work towards the phenomenon of dying and death in a hospital setting.

In the practical part, I focus on the attitudes of healthcare social workers towards dying and death in the hospital. This section is based on qualitative research and information gathered from semi-structured interviews.

Poet Karel Doskočil
Krásenská, Klára ; Sládek, Miloš (advisor) ; Kudlová, Klára (referee)
Karel Doskočil (1908-1962), historiographer, archivist, editor and poet passes unnoticed over a long period of time. This thesis' primary goal is to introduce Doskočil's work in the literary historical context, including two published collections Větve stromů (1941) and Milosrdenství (1947) and other unpublished texts as a part of Doskočil's estate. Approaching Doskočil's literary work in its wholeness (as enabled though access to personal archive) as well as putting it into perspective of the so-called catholic literature appears to be a desirable reminder of an author threatened by collective oblivion. The thesis also remembers Doskočil's scientific activities, altough it does not constitute a crucial subject of our work.

This diploma thesis processes the results of qualitative research, participant observation, which I carried out during 2022 and from the beginning of 2023 from the online seminars of the Womb Blessing spirituality and the meditations associated with it. The choice of the topic was motivated by my previous interest in the phenomenon of female spirituality and forming contemporary women's spiritualities in the Czech Republic - because these are currently gaining strength, diverse manifestations. I wanted to find a form of female spirituality in which I could find a pure female core and manifestations. I chose a women's open group formed around the person of Miranda Gray and her cyclical spirituality. I wanted to discover the form of female spirituality in the Czech Republic, which could be classified under the New Age by Wounter Hanegraaff. In the first part of the work, I deal with the definition of the conceptual apparatus, in the second part I deal with the general characteristics of contemporary eclectic spirituality, generally referred to as the New Age movement. In the third part, I turn to my own qualitative research. Further, in the fourth part, I compare Gray's spirituality with the concept of the New Age according to Hanegraaff.

Bachelor thesis project expected length : 2 pages Name of the student: Alexandra Lebriez Expected thesis title: Environments of DIY spirituality Keywords: spirituality, Czech punk scene, Subculture, DIY Thesis supervisor: Bohuslav Kuřík 0. Research Topic Alternative Spirituality(ies) in the Czech DIY Punk Subculture : Beliefs, Practices and Experiences in a non-spiritual subculture, a comparative study between the scenes of Vsetínsko and the city of Ostrava 1. Statement of the problem (what?) The Czech republic is known to be a strongly atheist country with a strong tendency toward alternative spiritualities. The aim of this study is to investigate differences in spirituality within the DIY punk subculture depending on the area, where the members live and practice or experience their spirituality. The comparison will be between the Ostrava scene (a big lowland city capital of a highly industrialized region) and the Vsetínsko region (a hilly, small town region). 2. Merit of studying the problem (why?) This study could be revelant for the field of subcultural studies, as well as spirituality studies, as it investigates spirituality in a non-spiritual and ubiquitous subculture. Its merit lies in its so far unexplored nature as no study about DIY punks' spirituality has been conducted yet, especially in...
