Greenwashing - the fake sustainbility phenomenon in cosmetic industry
Šimlová, Angelika ; Koudelková, Petra (advisor) ; Schneiderová, Soňa (referee)
Currently, the public is overwhelmed with so-called "green" terms on cosmetic product packaging. Marketing communication is shifting towards its green version, which aims to satisfy the growing interest in environmental protection. At the same time, a dangerous space is emerging, which brands use to deceive the public through inadequate communication about the impact of their products on the environment. The focus of this thesis is on this false sustainability in the cosmetics industry, also known as greenwashing. Research targeting Generation Z and their perception of this phenomenon reveals that even the younger generation, with access to a vast amount of information on the topic, becomes confused and skeptical due to the overuse of green terms in marketing campaigns. This skepticism extends even to brands that are genuinely moving in the right direction and following the rules that are set. A significant problem lies in the lack of proper legislation and the approach of many companies that deceive customers for the sake of higher profits, thereby undermining the credibility of other cosmetic brands in the market.

Sexist portrayal of women in marketing communication: differences in the perception of sexist advertising between women and men of generation Z
Brázdilová, Eva ; Rosenfeldová, Jana (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis examines the sexist portrayal of women in marketing communication, focusing on whether sexism in advertising is perceived differently by women and men of Generation Z. Despite the significant influence of advertising on social attitudes towards gender, there is a lack of academic texts on how people perceive and respond to sexist advertising. This thesis consists of three parts - theoretical, methodological and research, which provide an overview of the theory of sexism, the different forms of sexist portrayals of women in advertising, means of fighting against sexism and its regulation, research methodology and analysis of research findings. The research was conducted through semi-structured interviews with Generation Z respondents to obtain qualitative data on their views on sexism in advertising. The discussion of the research findings provides insight into the attitudes and perceptions of Generation Z towards sexist portrayals of women in advertising and offers important implications for the advertising industry and society as a whole. The gathered data shows that both genders view sexist portrayal of women in advertising in a similar way, which is negative. The only significant difference was men's lower ability to recognize sexism.
