Kernová, Michaela ; Matějů, Martin (referee) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor)
This work is concerned with the analysis of a consumption and a consumer society in the perspective of disciplines of a cultural theory. It offers a cultural historical explanation of the origin and the development of a consumer society, explains various motives of a consumer behaviour and presents a critical theoretical reflection of a condition of contemporary consumer society, particularly in the second half of the 20th century. The main objective of the work is first, to reveal the connection between material culture and a consumer action, second, to demonstrate the transformative meaning of a consumption in different historical periods and third, to reflect the similarity and dissimilarity of the US and the European consumer culture. The emphasis is placed upon the analysis of a consumption in a broader interpretative framework. The elimination of the negative connotation of the word "consumption" in the disciplines of social sciences is considered to be one of the most important issues. Through this work, I aim to open a space for further analysis of this phenomenon, especially in the frame of Czech environment.

The presented diploma thesis focuses on the map skills' problematic, which is currently becoming widespread in the Czech research environment.

Due to the significant differences between used cartographic methods of visualization on thematic maps the main aim of this diploma thesis is to identify and explain used cartographic method's influence on the level of these important skills. To achieve this aim, it was necessary to focus on different parts of the curriculum (intended, implemented, learned) and to use several scientific methods because this topic hasn't been well established yet and therefore only few theoretical and empirical studies dealt with this specific issue.

Due to the lack of specialized resources the model of thematic map skills was created. This specific model was further used during didactic test's designing and also for its results' interpretation. Similarly for the creation of appropriate didactic test -...
