Marriage and cohabitation : comparison of opinions and attitudes of young people and adult generation
Fulínová, Renata ; Kotrusová, Miriam (advisor) ; Klusáček, Jan (referee)
The bachelor thesis called "Marriage and cohabitation: comparison of opinions and attitudes of young people and adult generation" focuses on changes of demographic behavior of the Czech population which started to appear after the Velvet revolution in 1989. One of the changes was a denial of marriage as the ultimate form of partnership, which led to the expansion of cohabitation as an alternative form of marriage. According to the normative theory and the theory of second demographic transition, these changes were caused by the turn in values. This thesis uses a combined research design and using the secondary data analysis and in- depth interviews compares opinions of the two generations on marriage and cohabitation. This thesis also tries to find the factors that affect these opinions and examines, if there is a generation transfer of the values in a family. The results show, that young people are more tolerant towards the cohabitation, which however does not necessarily mean that they also prefer this form of partnership in their own personal life. Apart from the age, the important factors are also sex, marital status and education. The interviews showed, that the marriage of young peoples' parents proves to play an important role when it comes to forming their own opinion about this topic.

The theoretical part of the thesis contains information about the assessment and the specific method of assessment in the art education. The research part is divided into preliminary research and three stages of research - the interview, the observation and questionnaire own experiment and subsequent questioning. In these stages of research I have found information on the experiences and attitudes to assessment in the art education, but also on the whole subject of the art education. The survey was conducted in one class mainstream primary school in a small town in the South Bohemian Region. The work provides interesting information about the current view of pupils and their teachers on the art education and its assessment . The results suggest the need for pupils to be assessed, especially classified and the ability of students to use assessment criteria. Research findings may contribute to the debate regarding the evaluation in art education. They are also useful for the preparation of training teachers in the primary education, improving teaching and can be the basis for more extensive research investigations.

Cvetkovićová, Katarina ; Tomeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Martínek, Jiří (referee)

Selected alternative medical approaches opinions of University of South Bohemia's students
PECHOVÁ, Nikola
The term alternative medicine alone is very problematic to define, since it is not easy to tell, which methods should be included within its boundaries and which should not. This issue has its fans as well as sworn criticizers. We are coming across it more and more often in our daily lifes and it is only up to people, whether they will prefer this kind of medicine, or the conventional one. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to describe some chosen methods of alternative medicine, as well as the alternative medicine alone. Other aim was to verify hypothesis that is connected to greater criticism of students of healthcare programs towards mentioned type of medicine. Yet another assumption was the familiarity of the students of the University of South Bohemia with at least one of its methods. Questionnaire took place in the period between the end of March and slightly below the half of April. Dataset contained information from 190 respondents. The group under investigation was composed of students of Faculty of Health and Social sciences, Education and Faculty of Economics. Other respondents were united under the name Others. The evaluation of the questionnaire has shown, that students of health programs are not as critical towards the alternative medicine as I supposed. Moreover, the hypothesis claiming that students are familiar with at least one of the methods of alternative medicine was confirmed.

Wiews of Women and Men on Unmarried Cohabitation.
VOTRUBOVÁ, Jindra
Family values have been changing nowadays. People live together in looser relationships, or single, non marital status has become a norm. This trend exists all over Europe and worldwide. In our country this trend manifests itself significantly after 1989. On the basis of the bachelor thesis I wanted to find out whether young people really do not agree with marriage as an institution, whether their attitudes toward this issue are affected more by economic or social events in their lives. I wanted to compare the results of my research with existing studies on this topic. Information needed to compile this thesis was obtained by the content analysis of secondary data. To survey the views that are related to the objectives and to test the stated hypotheses, quantitative research was conducted. Data collection was carried out by a questioning method, the questionnaire technique. The questionnaire technique was chosen because of high efficiency of data collection. A significant advantage of this technique is elimination of the interviewer effect. I determined three hypotheses, two of which are not confirmed in research. Research shows that the respondents would prefer their lives to try and cohabitation on the basis of experience with it would then enter into marriage. But cohabitation is the option for them, they condemn and which, following agreement with your partner be willing and able to accept. In connection with the planned birth of a child would prefer to bring a child into marriage, but a third of respondents did not consider it a major problem, if in this situation find themselves alone. Research also confirmed that young people prefer other targets than finding a lasting relationship and have children, but the difference between focusing on the personal preferences of life and education is not as big as I expected. Results of mapping the current situation in the opinions of men and women under 35 years of cohabitation. They are a source of information about their life priorities, their attitudes, family and education. They can be used as additional material for sociological studies of similar interests or as a resource for workers in the social sectors and students of social fields.

Opinions of children on traditional family system
KOVÁROVÁ, Michaela
Identically as in other modernised societies, the institution of a family in the Czech Republic has been undergoing such a fundamental transformation in the last fifty years that the question appears if it is possible to speak about the family in the traditional sense of word at present. At present, a traditional family has been becoming the arrangement of life only for a minority of people in the Czech Republic. More than one third of children are born outside the matrimony, many times with the unclear father statute. One half of the concluded matrimonies get divorced. It is possible to conclude that the life without a partner and children becomes more and more widespread, at the expense of traditional family. The theoretical part of work focused on the family, its definition, function, forms of partners coexistence, crises and conflicts in the family and their consequences and the disintegration of the family and its consequences. The goal of the work was to find out the opinions of children from elementary and secondary schools in České Budějovice on the traditional family system. This goal was achieved. The research was performed by means of the method of questioning performed by the technique of the questionnaire. The research complex consisted of pupils of 9th years of elementary schools and pupils of last years of secondary schools in České Budějovice. I fixed the following hypotheses for the research: {\clqq}There exist differences in opinions of pupils of 9th years of elementary schools and pupils of last years of secondary schools.``, {\clqq}Pupils of 9th years of elementary schools as well as last years of secondary schools prefer the marriage to other forms of family arrangement.``, {\clqq}Pupils of 9th years of elementary schools as well as last years of secondary schools prefer the traditional family to other forms of family arrangement.`` All the three hypotheses were confirmed by the research. The thesis aims at serving as source of information for social workers, judges, pedagogical employees, students and other persons interested in family issues.

PROSTITUTION IN REGION ĆESKÝ KRUMLOV
SEDLÁČKOVÁ, Blanka
Prostitution in Český Krumlov District The prostitution (from the Latin Prostituere) is providing sexual services for the payment or for or any counter-value, it makes no difference if it is a material remuneration or financial payment. The typical side effect of the prostitution is a frequent change of partners. We understand usually under the prostitution the women{\crq}s prostitution, however, also the men{\crq}s as well as children{\crq}s prostitution exists. The prostitution as mass social phenomenon is a social pathological phenomenon in all the present highly developed cultures. It is called also the oldest trade of the world, as it has exist already since the Antique. The theoretical part is focused first of all on finding out the prostitution at present, its forms, who provides the sexual services and what problems are associated with it in the society. Its aim is to present the whole issue of prostitution. The data necessary for testing the formulated hypotheses were acquired by means of the quantitative research, enabling the work with the big complex of respondents. To collect more easily the highest possible number of answers, the method of the written questioning, i.e. of questionnaires was selected. The investigated complex of respondents was in the age range from 15 years to 71 years. The research was performed in the towns as well as smaller municipalities concerned by the issue of prostitution. The information was provided for what purposes the questionnaires will be utilized and that the evaluation will be anonymous. One of the goals was monitoring the prostitution (erotic clubs), directly in the Český Krumlov District, acquiring information in what way the prostitution is regulated by individual municipalities and finding out, how the prostitution in the municipality is perceived by the citizens. The first hypothesis was to find out if the municipalities issue the directives of public order regulating prostitution. And if these Directives are cancelled by the Constitutional Court. This hypothesis was refuted during the investigation. And the second hypothesis was that the inhabitants consider the regulating measures for the prostitution as insufficient. This hypothesis was confirmed. The thesis may be utilised as incentive for the changes in legislation and attitude of municipalities to this issue, or extension of measures of individual municipalities.

Analysis of an environmental conflict - opinions of main groups of the inhabitants in the pond water area on the subject of the presence of cormorants (fishermen and holidaymakers) and media analysis
ŠÍPOVÁ, Martina
The thesis was chosen on the basis of the continuation of the bachelor´s work. This thesis is focused on the literature search of problems of the conflicts between the protection of cormorants and the interest of fishery, further on the media analysis in the Czech Republic and finally on the processing of opinions of various groups of respondents (holidaymakers in the area called ´Třeboňsko´ and Czech fishermen). The opinions of questioned people were obtained from controlled interviews written down and processed in the questionnaires. The available information shows that a number of the protected cormorants is increasing not only in the Czech Republic but all over the world. The increase of the number of cormorant population causes problems especially to fishery, because cormorants cause the damage by catching fish stock. These conflicts in the problem area are mostly promoted in the media. In the problem area there are important opinions of the key groups of inhabitants. Groups of questioned people demonstrated their knowledge: holidaymakers in the area called ´Třeboňsko´ have basic knowledge in cormorants and problems caused by cormorants. On the contrary, fishermen are well-informed about the problem. The fishermen are more interested in the problem. Media are very important for solving conflicts and forming opinions of various groups of people. Media analysis showed that most spokesmen, who initiated writing newspaper articles were just fishermen. Therefore the articles on the cormorants are negative and without opinions on the spokesmen as member of general public or academics. Results of the sociological analysis have feed back on the results of the media analysis. It was found out that in the Czech Republic there had not been drawn up any management of fish protection againts cormorants. That is why I prefer to suggest the management in the near future. I recommend to follow the existing foreign management, forexample, in Great Britain. Further, I propose to change the Czech legislation for lower payment of the compensation for the damage caused by cormorants.
