The 2010 increase of tuition fees at British universities
Štěpánová, Marie ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Rovná, Lenka (referee)
The bachelor thesis is a case study based on an analysis of the problems of higher education in Great Britain. In the first part, it deals with the genesis of the decision of British government to increase tuition fees of public universities. This took place in 2010 in the United Kingdom (apart from free Scottish schools). The second part analyzes arguments for and against the tuition fee increase. The period studied is from May to December 2010, meaning, between the general election which concluded in the creation of a surprising coalition of Liberal Democrats and Conservatives, and the tuition fees vote in the parliament. The differing views on university funding and on educational budget cuts between the two governmental parties caused disagreements in the coalition as well as within the parties. Liberal Democrats had to solve the dilemma whether to support the decision of promoting fee increase and following the recommendations of Browne's Review of Higher Education Funding and Student Finance, or to fulfill their pre-election promises, which were basically founded on the rejection of tuition fees. The proposal had some positive reactions from universities (Russell Group, UUK), raising arguments like the graduates' benefits from a degree, increase in competitiveness of British higher education...

The contribution to study of student movements in the 1960s in the USA
Hochmuth, Daniel ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Horčička, Václav (referee)
Student movements are without question an integral part of the 1960s. University rebels were so loud and radical that they were impossible to overlook. The sources of their activism were numerous - young generation grown up in an affluence of the post-war western world; the young people inherited moral values of their parents, and, finally, they felt obligated to eliminate evil and inequity in society. It was no easy goal, because American society of the 1950s and 1960s was conservative and resented change; the work inside the Movement was therefore frustrating. Continually confronted with inequity and injustice in the world, as well as with the feelings of failure and alienation in their lives, student radicals became restless and angry. Demonstrations and protests often ended up in violent confrontations with police forces. As the 1960s drew to a close, most of the students' ideals were gone and all that was left was anger and frustration. Movement split into several factions that were no longer able to cooperate; some of them fell apart in little time, some of them turned to even more radical and violent tactics. In spite of that, we can still say that student movements were an important part of the 1960s world and in many ways helped to form the society, which we live in today.

Intrinsic religiosity practice. Psychological aspects of intrisic religiosity of Catholic mothers
Bartáková, Vladislava ; Slaměník, Ivan (advisor) ; Muchová, Ludmila (referee) ; Tavel, Peter (referee)
INTRINSIC RELIGIOSITY PRACTICE Psychological aspects of intrinsic religiosity of Catholic women - mothers of small children. Key words: Intrinsic religiosity, Prayer, Spirituality of an Everyday Life, Motherhood, Catholic Faith, Identity, Narrative Analysis Secularisation of the current post-modern Europe represents a collapse of Christianity in the sense of an integrating power of the society; however, it does not mean extinction of Christianity as such. The largest European church has been responding to the changes in the post-modern society by moving the emphasis from Catholicism (institutionally - as a doctrine attitude of the church) to Catholicity (openness and universal attitude of the church). Despite this inner movement, the Roman Catholic Church is losing numbers of their members and frequently it does not satisfactorily address, among the competition in the 'religious market', agnostics or even the 'searching' ones. From another point of view, however, it is obvious that for many people it still remains a 'home' in which they develop their faith as an individual expression of existential needs. The symbolic universe of the traditional Catholic religion provides these people with factual as well as symbolic tools to develop spirituality. Significant changes in religiousness and...

Syntactic constancy of the object between English and Czech in fiction and academic prose
Slunečková, Lenka ; Dušková, Libuše (advisor) ; Malá, Markéta (referee) ; Urbanová, Ludmila (referee)
The present study investigates the constancy of the syntactic function of the object between English and Czech. Syntactic constancy is understood as identical syntactic representation of lexical items in parallel texts taken from different languages. The analysis of instances of syntactic divergence is carried out in order to test the assumption that syntactic structure is hierarchically subordinate to the information structure, i.e. the universal validity of the principle of end focus. The two languages under study, English and Czech, provide typologically suitable subject matter in representing, respectively, an analytic and an inflectional language system which involve different hierarchies of the word order principles. 1 In contrast to previous research, the present treatment is based on a substantially larger corpus (1000 divergent instances) and includes two different stylistic varieties, fiction and academic prose. These two novel aspects are considered to be relevant not only for verifying or modifying the findings obtained from studies investigating other clause elements2 and/or based on fiction alone, but also, more importantly, for capturing and specifying other potential factors conducive to syntactic divergence both in different languages and in different styles.
