Education for patriotism in Czech schools
Kyzlinková, Marcela ; Stará, Jana (advisor) ; Uhlířová, Jana (referee)
The key aim of this work is a method of patriotic education in our schools, mainly in the first grade of primary schools. The point of this work is to awaken patriotism in society again. In the first step we are informed about the important ideas that enable to develope the assumptions neccesary for the patriotic recognition and for an increase in patriotic feeling. The theory pays the attention to morality, influencing behaviour; for example, material and physical values and the aesthetic. It describes each historical term individually, from the beginning of national recovery during the first half of 19th century to the present days. It underlines the need to understand correctly the individual ideas and it points out the general chaos and risks of their interpretations in society. It recognises the important tasks that our society has to face to maintain the education of patriotism succesfully. The practical aspect contains the class discussions, interwiews and analysis of individual pupils, teachers, directors and it compares the level and quality of class debats with teacher`s attitude. The main thing was to find out the teachers' personal feeling about patriotism, his or her attitude towards its education and the way he or she communicates this during the lessons.

Funďová, Lucia ; Heřmanová, Eva (advisor) ; Malcová, Zuzana (referee)
The topic of the Bachelor's Thesis "Tangible and intangible culture of region of Horehronie" is description of cultural habits, traditions, cultural or national monuments and cultural events which are situated in the region. Thesis focuses also on specific cities and villages, which are the most important because of their monuments, events or other participation in preservation of culture. The most important is Brezno because it is administrative and cultural center of the region. Horehronie is well known by its strong relationship to folk traditions so I also focused on smaller villages such as Telgárt. Traditions are the most maintained and developed in there, and a lot of folk festivals take place there too. The benefit of this Thesis is to acquaint readers with the region of Horehronie, with its tangible and intangible culture and to find out how is culture maintained and developed by the population.

Keeping Traditions and Importance of Traditions in Contemporary Czech Society
URBÁNKOVÁ, Veronika
This thesis is focused on the importance of traditions for students and seniors, the importance of traditions for the both groups is compared and the differences in understanding to traditions in the presented groups of respondents are described. In the theoretical part relevant terms are defined and explained and the views of experts on the importance of traditions are mentioned. In the first section individual festivals in a year and related traditions, but also recent traditions coming from abroad, are described. In the second, practical part of the thesis individual respondents´ answers were assessed and the stated hypotheses verified. The hypotheses were tested through quantitative research and the method used to obtain information was a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire contained 57 questions and was filled in by university students and seniors over 65 years of age. The research outcomes confirmed the first hypothesis assuming that the lower the age of the Czech Republic citizens, the lower interest in keeping Czech traditions. The second hypothesis assuming that young people are more aware of traditions coming from abroad than of the Czech traditions, was also confirmed during the research. The objective of the thesis was to identify differences in perceptions of the importance of keeping traditions between generations, and this objective was met, in my opinion. The survey outcomes have shown that between groups of respondents there are some differences in perception of individual traditions, in the meaning given to individual traditions and the extent in which the Czech traditions are kept alive. Both groups, however, have a similar (negative) opinion of the modern traditions adopted from abroad. The importance of the thesis lies, in my opinion, in the description of individual generations relationships to Czech traditions as a demonstration of their own culture perception and the feeling of belonging to the society, but it also takes effect as a reminder of those often half-forgotten traditions and so the society´s cultural heritage, by pointing out the importance of intergenarational transmission of cultural values.

Gabriel, Jan ; Chalupníček, Pavel (advisor) ; Minárik, Pavol (referee)
There are two main parts in this thesis. In the first one, we are focused on different approaches to the relationship of religion and government. We point out the influence of religion (both positive and negative) on individual. These issues are viewed from the perspective of some famous theories. For example: G.S. Becker's Accounting for Tastes, F. A. Hayek's theory of spontaneous order, H. Bergson's philosophy or M. Weber's sociology of religion. The second part analyses situation in Czech Republic and compares it to situations in Austria and Sweden. There are appendixes, which can be used as bases for new research.
