Morals of the consumer society and their prospects
VESELÁ, Monika
The present bachelor thesis deals with the topic of ``Ethics of the Consumer Society and its Prospects{\crq}q. The thesis objective was to determine, based on a selected population sample, the generally acknowledged symptoms of the consumer way of life and to what extent these symptoms are tolerated or even anticipated to be occurring in connection with the socially accepted desire for success. I felt it necessary to explain some of the elementary notions in the introduction chapter as the comprehension of `ethics{\crq} as well as `consumer society{\crq} may be ambiguous. In the theoretical part of the thesis I tried to define, with the help of the works of contemporary sociologists and philosophers, the difference between the ethics of present consumer society and those of earlier societies. It was necessary to define the areas typical of consumer ethics; thus the theoretical part gives a summary of findings made mainly by the people who express criticism of consumer society. As a counterpoint to the theoretical part, I addressed 10 `ordinary people{\crq} to find out their understanding of what is ethically acceptable (unacceptable respectively) within the present society. The first part of the research was done in form of an interview with the interviewees answering three open questions. Following the interviews, hypotheses were set based on the answers. The second part of the research contained three more questions; this time closed ones with selection of answers and an evaluation scale were offered. I ranked the phenomena according to their frequency of occurrence in the society and according to their acceptability for the interviewees. Thinking about the ethics is not an everyday issue indeed; nevertheless, I managed to elicit subjective opinions from the selected sample. However, even though the interviewees were all people with university degree (i.e. not a representative sample is concerned), thinking of the questions of ethics was uncommon and difficult for them. Due to this reason I would use for a possible future research a greater population sample as well as a simpler questionnaire to elicit acceptability or unacceptability of generally existing phenomena. The thesis has achieved its objective, although I am aware that the extent of this topic can{\crq}t be finalized and I agree that it is worth to deal with further on.

Is Politeness (Moral treatment) a weakness? ( A genesis of the positive treatment in the societ)
KUŘÁTKOVÁ, Lucie
ABSTRACT In the presented bachelor theses, I concentrated myself on the conception of the morale behavior (generally understood as a proper behavior) in the society and its progress from the historical point of view (aiming to a morale ideal). But I also focused my attention on the present state of the given problem {--} i.e. on the conception of the ethics in the contemporary ``postmodern{\crqq} society with its consumer manner of life. Further, I concentrated myself on the individual (pragmatical) morality and its negative influence on forming of the ethic behavior. It means, what the present society considers as a moral behavior and what is considered to be an immoral behavior, and how the conception and understanding of the morality in the society has been changed. The theses is divided into two parts. The theoretical part of the theses deals with the explication of the terms ethics and morality, with a brief characteristic of individual theories explaining (describing) the moral development of the individual (personality), with the basic psychology of the pubescence time period and of the moral development in course of this time of the human life (i.e. adolescence). The main aim of the practical part of the theses was to find out the approach of the students of Gymnasium (young people) to the morale and to the morale behavior in the society. Further, the purpose was also to find out, what kind of behavior is still considered to be morale and what immoral. As for the data collection concerning the elaboration of the practical part of the bachelor theses, the quantitative questioning method and the technics of the questioning investigation (questionary) were used. For the purpose of the questioning investigation, an anonymous questionary of own construction was used. Closed questions were used first of all, where the respondents had the possibility of indicating only one answer corresponding with their personal opinion utmost. The elaborated questionary was presented to the students of the first and fourth classes of Gymnasium in Písek. The opinion level was evaluated individually with both age categories and than the comparison of the opinion levels of both these groups was carried out. Before opening the research itself, 4 work hypotheses have been chosen (1 main hypothesis and three other partial hypotheses). The information from the questionary was worked out manually by means of the bar code method. The graphic presentation of the results from the questionary was made by means of column graphs in the programme Microsoft Office Excel. In the discussion, the results are compared with the professional literature and the work hypotheses are evaluated. In the end, own opinion on the given problems and the possibilities of the utilization of this work in the practice are presented. After evaluating the results gained from the questionary investigation, I found out, that the predefined main hypothesis has not been certified. The students of Gymnasium in Písek do not consider the proper behavior (morale) to be an expression of some weakness. Both age categories agree on this conclusion. The results of this bachelor theses should serve for information of both the general and the professional public about opinions of a certain pattern of the young generation of the propriety (morale behavior) on interpersonal relation.

THE INFLUENCE OF RELIGION ON METHODS OF VOLUNTARY PARENT.
HLOUCH, Vojtěch
I have chosen the subject of my thesis {--} The influence of religion on methods of voluntary parent. One of the main reasons is my own interest in these issues. I am Catholic and I wanted to reveal other Christians` attitude to contraception. My work is focused on two religions common in the Czech Republic. They are: Catholics of Roman-Catholic Church and Evangelics of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethern. The aim of my work was to discover to what extent are certain religious groups successful in influencing their members when it comes to morals and what attitudes do their confessionists have in their private lives.

Tématika podnikatelské etiky je v současnosti velice diskutovaná nejen ve světě, ale i v České Republice. Hlavní snahou etiky v podnikání je začlenění etických zásad do podnikání za účelem zlepšení podnikatelské praxe a všech aktivit s ní souvisejících.
