Old People and new media
Lacinová, Eva ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Jirák, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with problems of media literacy of older people. Its main goal is to capture the way seniors can reflect and evaluate new media. It does not attempt to provide specific and universally valid reply to observed problems, but the intention of the work is rather to understand phenomena and conditions of the problems. The text is therefore divided into three main sections: theoretical, practical and analytical. In the theoretical part key information and concepts associated with communication, media literacy, and age and growing old are introduced. Special attention is paid to the description of relationship between seniors and new media. The practical part is devoted to qualitative research. Information about the way older respondents use and evaluate new media is acquired through semi-standardized depth interviews. The analytical part results from the findings presented in the previous two sections. It serves not only as major conclusions of the work but also as notes and recommendation for further studies or researches. All relevant and essential facts are summarized in the conclusion of the paper.

Media educationin the family
Cigánková, Klára ; Wolák, Radim (advisor) ; Šťastná, Lucie (referee)
The master thesis "Media education in the family" discusses media education strategies of parents, or, in other words, parental mediation. This discussion is important because the family, in addition to the school system, is largely responsible for influencing the media literacy of children. The theoretical section of this thesis sums up how this topic was processed in foreign and Czech studies, and describes the main characteristics of parental mediation. Media education strategies of parents are also assessed in connection with the socialization of the child, and with the education and communication styles in family. Frequently, studies describe three types of parental mediation, which are: active mediation, restrictive mediation and social co-viewing. Although these types of mediation were defined mostly in connection with the viewing of television programs, it is possible to transfer these types, with small changes, on to other media, including the internet. The practical part of this thesis contains a qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with parents who have children between the ages of 12 and 15. The goal of this analysis was to find out what parents think of the relationship between children and media, which strategies of parental mediation they are using, and which conditions and...

Media and their influence on man
Hončová, Simona ; Šnýdrová, Ivana (advisor) ; Mužík, Jaroslav (referee)
The issue of the impact of the media on men and society is increasingly topical nowadays when it is impossible to practically imagine the life without the media. The media have been, are and will be an inseparable part of the current life in spite of the fact that they do not always affect us only positively, they might also have a negative impact on us - no matter whether a short term effect or a long term influence is concerned. This work tries to identify these effects and influence and demonstrate them on concrete examples. At the same time it suggests various possibilities how to tackle with the "media phenomenon" and mitigate its negative impact and influence. Together with streamlining the content of the media, it is necessary to disseminate the common knowledge on conclusions of media studies and thus broaden the media literacy across the whole society.
