Reality and media image in the context of Soviet myth-making (The story of Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin)
Klingohrová, Adéla ; Zadražilová, Miluše (referee) ; Glanc, Tomáš (advisor)
This text analyses motives and conditions of an emergence of a hero cult of Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin and specifics of heroism which forms an entirely new category in the hero typology in the Soviet Union. The changes of the cult are documented based on an analysis of his media image in periodicals, photographies and literature from the 1960's until today (based on materials published on the occasion of the anniversary every ten years, ie. in 1961, 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001 and 2007). General conclusions are made which are shown to be characteristic of those periods. The word image is very important as the work is focused on analysis of the public image of his personality not on his real story which is hidden under layers of interpretations of realities and legends and we can be only guessing it based on various witness accounts and memories. His publicly presented (media) image is the only undoubtable source which we can reliably work with.

Humanist democracy of Edvard Beneš
Podlaha, Petr ; Čechurová, Jana (advisor) ; Kuklík jun., Jan (referee)
Beneš was committed to the rather radical economical and political ideas of socialism already before the war. He believed that old parliamentarian system of liberal democracy would be inevitably replaced after the war with the new system of humanitarian democracy - the political democracy amended by the social and economic democracy. Beneš suggested that the government should regulate all the important parts of political, social and economic life of the post-war society. The biggest problem of the Czechoslovak prewar political democracy was according to Beneš, the existence of too many parties. Therefore only two, at most three political parties would be allowed to take part in the political struggle after the war. These parties would be organized solely on the basis of the approach towards progress. On the left side of the political spectrum, there would be a uniform socialist party and on the right, there would be a conservative party. The establishment of any other party should be banned. The communists should be part of the socialist party. According to Beneš they would be outnumbered and neutralized there by the other democratic socialist parties. The market economy according to Beneš is an obsolete system and therefore it should be replaced with a planned economy. All bigger businesses and natural...

Richard Rorty and hermenutic tradition
Kováčik, Matej ; Kranát, Jan (advisor) ; Navrátilová, Olga (referee)
In his opus magnum Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, the prominent (post)analytic Richard Rorty calls for such a philosophical inquiry, thath would rather fit under the term hermeneutics, than epistemology. Hermeneutics being the trademark term of an important movement of continental philosophy, this comes as a suprise. By examining Richard Rorty's criticism of epistemology and Hans- Georg Gadamer's concept of hermeneutics, this paper tries to find out, how much do they have in common. Source texts for this research are the topic-relatively relevant texts from the books Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature and Truth and Method. In conclusion, the main difference appears to lie in their answers to the hardly solveable question of importance of the very concept of truth. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Talking about immigration to Europe. Analysis of facebook posts of Doctors without borders
Šlédrová, Jasňa ; Moree, Dana (advisor) ; Muhič Dizdarevič, Selma (referee)
The subject of this diploma thesis is the potential of organizations of civil society to influence public debate about immigration to Europe via Facebook. Conclusions introduced in this diploma thesis are based on my own empirical research as well as on literature focused on public relations. Research is designed as single case study of Facebook communication of Doctors without Borders. I explore the diversity of topics and argumentation present in the organization's communication, reactions of its audience and mutual interactions between organization and its audience. I explain that content, visual and formal aspects may play a key role when an organization is trying to address wide audience, whose ideas is willing to shape and influence. Research points out that the communication of Doctors without Borders about migration to Europe is one-sided, because it's mainly driven by activities and mission of the organization. This one-sidedness is partly compensated by engaged audience that enriches discussions under the Facebook posts of the organization with diverse topics and opinions. The thesis tries to capture the significance of tension between organization and its audience that raises inspirational discussions, which might not occur in case of absolute consensus. Key words communication, public...

The Role of Clarity in French Language Instruction
Kalhousová, Martina ; Machleidtová, Silva (advisor) ; Kolmanová, Jana (referee)
Le caractère démonstratif fait une partie intégrante dans le processus d'apprentissage des langues. Il était, il est et sûrement il sera toujours un article important dans toutes les lignes méthodologiques. C'était Coménius qui a pour la première fois mis Taccent sur le caractère démonstratif. Il s'est rendu compte de son importance dans l'enseignement en général mais aussi dans les cours de langues. Alors, du point de vue méthodologique, cette démarche didactique avait et il a son lieu incontestable surtout dans la méthode directe, mixte, audio - visuelle et celle de l'approche communicative. Il ne faut pas oublier que le caractère démonstratif influence beaucoup la motivation et qu'il dépend de l'enseignant comment il va en profiter. Les enfants sont plus motivés s'ils ont l'occasion d'être créatifs, actifs et si le processus d'apprentissage est amusant et intéressant. Cette démarche didactique assiste beaucoup de ces activités qui possèdent souvent l'aspect ludique. Il existe plusieurs recherches, par exemple celle-ci d'Antoine de la Grandrie, qui estiment que le caractère démonstratif produit un effet sur le processus cognitif de l'apprentissage.

Problems in research of material sources in culturology on the example of church architecture
Kursová, Lucie ; Durdík, Tomáš (advisor) ; Gabriel, František (referee)
Studium středověkých kostelů jsem opřela o tři časově a spádově odlišná území. Nejstarší území představuje část sondy od Roudnice k Úštěku s orientací na labskou nížinu s blízkými centry Mělníkem, Roudnicí a Litoměřicemi. Od jihozápadní hranice okresu Česká Lípa se mění jak charakter krajiny, tak doba osídlení i orientace. Severozápadněji položené území sondy kolonizoval sklonek 13. století a celá první polovina století čtrnáctého. Území se obrací jednak k Polabí na Litoměřicko a Mělnicko, jednak do Pojizeří na Mladoboleslavsko. Osídlené území končí pod Lužickými horami a Ještědským hřebenem. Ten spolu s Jizerskými horami odděluje třetí území kolem Frýdlantu, osídlované asi od poloviny 13. století. Frýdlantsko se vždy orientovalo na Žitavsko a na Slezsko. Zatímco uvedená část Litoměřicka a Českolipsko náleží geograficky k povodí Labe, horní Ponisí a především Frýdlantsko má jako sběrnou řeku Odru (Gabriel 2003). Rozvodí Labe a Odry vytvářelo po celý středověk hranice panství, v horním úseku postavilo hradbu komunikačního propojení, do značné míry se projevilo i v církevní správě, a jak ukázal rozbor staveb kostelů, uplatňuje se i ve hmotné kultuře. Rozdíl ve stavbách mezi oblastmi přináší především dispozice presbytáře. Pravoúhlý presbytář, typický pro Frýdlantsko se pojí na stejně řešené kostelní stavby v...

Bankové krízy vo svete, ich detekcia, priebeh a rozbor príčin
Bačinská, Daša ; Půlpánová, Stanislava (advisor) ; Witzany, Jiří (referee)
Cieľom teoretickej časti práce bolo vymedzenie pojmu ?banková kríza?, rozbor príčin, následkov a nákladov týchto nepriaznivých udalostí a analýza nástrojov a opatrení, ktoré sa používajú k riešeniu krízy. Posledná časť rozoberá prípadovú štúdiu - bankovú krízu v Japonsku v rokoch 1992-1998 a ilustruje poznatky teoretickej časti. Cieľom tejto diplomovej práce je analýza ex-post bankovej krízy, odhalenie dôsledkov a ponaučení, ktoré nám priniesla. Banková kríza s nepriehliadnuteľnými negatívnymi dopadmi dáva za príklad, že sila ekonomiky neznamená finančnú stabilitu a nezraniteľnosť bankového sektoru a že príčiny kríz nemožno vzájomne oddelovať, pretože vo väčšine prípadov sa prelínajú a spoločne vplývajú na narušovanie bankového sektoru a vyvolávajú krízu.

Migration in the EU after its enlargement
Bagin, Tibor ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Váňa, Daniel (referee)
Táto práca sa venuje zahraničnej pracovnej migrácii občanov EU. Sústreďuje sa na Veľkú Britániu, jednu z prvých troch krajín, ktoré otvorili svoje pracovné trhy pre východoeurópske štáty v Máji roka 2004. Krajiny tohto bloku a Poľskou republikou na čele sa nazývajú pod spoločným názvom A8. Práca ukazuje na jednej strane hlavné dôvody pracovnej migrácie, medzi ktoré patrí vyššia životná úroveň, mzdové ohodnotenie apod. Na druhej strane sa ale stať zaoberá aj s druhou stranou fenoménu migrácie, či je to výhodné pre prijímajúce krajiny uvoľniť svoje pracovné trhy. Položí sa v nej veľa konkrétnych otázok ohľadne demografických, fiškálnych, makroekonomických dopadov imigrantov na ekonomiku. Pri rozbore nového imigračného zákona, ktorý vstúpil do platnosti začiatkom roka 2008, sa snaží autor nájsť dôvody nepresnosti a nejasnosti dát momentálne dostupných a používaných v analýzach efektov imigrácie.
