Influence of Cinematography on Public Opinion
PFLEGEROVÁ, Jana
Cinematography is the part of mass media we now encounter ever more often. In the Czech Republic it is regulated by the Act No. 249/2006 Coll., which amends the Act No. 273/1993 Coll., on some conditions of production, distribution and filing of audiovisual works, on changes and amendments to some acts and some other regulations, as amended. The creative way of life makes way to consumerism which prefers consumption and entertainment. The typical attributes of the lifestyle are: cognitive evaluation of the self and the own position in the world {--} personal life philosophy, way of experiencing {--} people differ from one another by the quality and intensity of experience, relation to work, relaxation and active movement {--} regeneration and relaxation, managing of social interactions {--} sufficient supporting social network, ego level {--} competence in management of demanding situations in life. The objective of my bachelor thesis was to determine the factor influencing the selection of films by viewers and how the films influence opinions of the general public. The performed research was supposed to confirm or to rebut the following hypotheses: H1: The general public prefers films with comedy themes. The hypothesis H1 has been confirmed. Comedy has been identified as the most popular film genre both by males and females . H2: The general public prefers Czech films. The hypothesis H2 has been confirmed. The Czech society prefers to see Czech films. H3: The general public prefers films offered by mass media. The third hypothesis has been rebutted. The most popular criterion for the film is the genre and from the total number of viewers 55% were females. Women aged 16 to 25 represented the biggest category of viewers. The research within the bachelor thesis has shown that the general public goes to the movies to relax, to have fun and to enjoy humor and entertainment. Cartoons and comedies occupy therefore the highest levels of the box office charts. The research has shown that the general public prefers Czech films. Based on the results of the completed research a conclusion has been drawn that although the influence of cinematography on the opinions of the general public is an issue important for free time pedagogy and for prevention of risk behavior, the society pays little attention to it. This bachelor thesis might be used as a suitable complementary material dealing with the lifestyle adopted by the Czech population.

Public opinion on homelessness.
RUDOVÁ, Lucie
Abstract {--} Public opinion on homelessness The issue of homelessness became very relevant in the last year. At present, the number of people without home has been growing and a nation-wide problem comes into being which cannot be overlooked by the society. As well as other problems of the current world, also the issue of homelessness is one of the popular mediaʼs topics. The homelessness as extreme expression of the poverty and social exclusion is, all the time, an issue neglected not only by the specialists and the state, but also by the lay public. For this reason it is necessary to address the public and first of all to inform the public sufficiently of the given issue. Only based on the knowledge and understanding the people will be able to treat this issue thoroughly and in a thought-out way and they will not avert the eyes from this problem. The target of my thesis is to evaluate the attitude of public to the issue of homelessness. In connection with it two hypotheses were postulated: 1) The citizens of younger age (15-30 years) have a more tolerant attitude to the issue of homelessness than citizen of older age (31-70 let). 2) The women have a higher understanding for the aid to homeless persons then men. A quantitative research was made among persons in the age group of 15-70 years residing permanently in České Budějovice and surroundings, in the form of a controlled questionnaire applying the method of the accidental choice of the respondents. The whole research was performed in the hospital in České Budějovice under the supervision of the medical staff and partly also through internet. The research file consisted of 60% respondents. The questions in the questionnaire were directed on establishment of the attitude of the public to the issue of the persons without homes. On the questions formulated in this determined way the total attitude of the respondents to homeless people was estabilshed as well as the differences in the attitude to the homeless people depending on age and sex of the respondent. The results of the research part of the thesis really proved the highly negative attitude of citizens to homeless people, however, the persons of younger age (15-30 years) showed a higher tolerance rate then citizens of older age (31-70 years). The women also showed a higher extent of altruism then men. Based on these results the hypotheses postulated in advance were confirmed unambiguously and with them also the target of the thesis.

Convention on the Rights of the Child {--} Monitoring of Informedness in the Public
KOLÍNOVÁ, Eliška
Convention on the Rights of a Child came into being on November 20, 1989, when it was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations Organisation (UNO). It became to be legally valid on September 2, 1990. On September 30, 1990 the world summit for children in New York took place and on this occasion, the then Czech and Slovak Federative Republic joined this Convention on the Rights of a Child. This international document in our country came into legal effect on Febr. 6, 1991. The children{\crq}s rights committee of UNO criticises the Czech Republic, that it informs insufficiently of the Convention on the Rights of a Child and for this reason the society does not know what rights this document contains. The target of the bachelor thesis is to find out if the Czech society is really insufficiently informed and if the pedagogues in the elementary school really inform their pupils on their rights sufficiently. The selected methodology was the questionnaire examination which was performed in the form of a questionnaire. 2 types of questionnaires were created, one of them for finding out to what extent the public is informed and the other one for pedagogues. The respondents of 2 towns were selected {--} Blatná and Strakonice, to be able to verify the hypothesis if the citizens of a larger town (Strakonice) are more informed than the citizens of a smaller town (Blatná). To establish if the pedagogues inform, the pedagogues of the Elementary School of Jan Amos Komenský in Blatná were addressed. I think the postulated targets of the thesis were met. The research confirmed all the hypotheses. The public is insufficiently informed. The extent of knowledge is lower in a small town than in a larger town. The pedagogues inform insufficiently the pupils about the Convention on the Rights of a Child. The recommendation following from this thesis is that the state should start to inform more the wide public. For this purpose the public education should be carried out by means of leaflets, talks of parents with their children, television spots and firsts of all the instructions of the rights of children, following from Convention on the Rights of a Child shall be involved obligatory into the teaching in elementary school.

SECURITY AS ONE PRINCIPLE OF MODERN PRISON SERVICE
KLOZAROVÁ, Lenka
The modern prison service is formed by three principles. One of them is a principle of security. The penology security can be understood from different points of view depending on if we look at the problem as general public, prison staff or the prisoners themselves. The development of the prison service, its total cultural level and material conditions reflect the cultural and economic state of the society. The way in which criminal offenders are treated expresses the relation of the society to an individual and the attitude to civil rights and liberties. The work consists of two basic parts. The theoretical part contains all records concerning security within the prison service. The current prison service has to do with lots of problems such as overcrowded prisons, low prisoners´ employment, unsuitable premises, insufficient hardware and unsatisfactory professional and personal qualities of prison staff. The practical part describes the realised qualitative research method, a semi-structured interview. Representatives of general public, prison service staff and prisoners were . interviewed with the aim to find out details of penitentiary security. This work has been a probe into the penology problem. The findings and conclusions can serve as a basis for further more detailed and extended investigation in the Czech Republic as a whole.

Experience public with medical rescue service in a South-Bohemian region
URBANOVÁ, Pavla
The objective of the presented work is to monitor the experiences of the public with the Medical Rescue Servece of the South Bohemian Region. The mapping out of the experiences of the receivers of the care themselves concerning the attitudes, the access to relevant information and trust in the team of the Medical Rescue Service of the South Bohemian Region is a way to detect and evaluate the actual most frequent mistakes and omissions of the medical team in urgent and demanding situations. It can be concluded that people of different age, sex and standard of education make use of the medical rescue service. An enormous trust into the staff members of the medical rescue service is a general phenomenon. As a result of this finding it seems essential to pay due attention even to borderline results in the sense of presenting the rescue team accordingly and offering a second call to the operation emergency centre (telephone line 155) by the appropriate operation emergency centre staff member. I would appreciate if this paper could be used for a subsequent more detailed study in this field. I would recommend a training of rescue workers in the techniques of specialized communication. The presented results could also find use in helping the rescue service team member as well as the trainees in this sector of medical services to acquire a better insight into ther profession.
