Educational Values Within The Contemporary Czech Family From The Perspective Of Fathers Under Forty Years Of Age
FUČÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The position of father in family is a well debated topic of these days. Fathers today are not considered to be the breadwinners of family but their status is much more important. They are involved in upbringing of the children, they look after them in the same way as mothers do and some of them are even on maternity leave which as we know from the professional sources was not heard of in the past. The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out the fathers´ point of view of current Czech family and values inside it and to answer the following questions: whether the way of upbringing of the respondents is affected by the approach of their parents during their childhood, how the respondents perceive the current Czech family and the educational values inside it, what values the respondents prefer when bringing up their own children, what the respondents position in the family is. For the empiric part of the bachelor thesis qualitative research with the method of half structured interview and the technique of inquiry was used. Research aggregate chosen with the method of snow ball consisted of 19 fathers younger than 40 living in the town of Benešov and its area. The result of work shows that majority of fathers younger than 40 feel affected by the upbringing of their original family. Their view of current Czech family is very sceptical in most cases and the large majority of fathers younger than 40 consider material values the highest respected value. Research regarding the educational values of father under the age of 40 in their family showed that the fathers put the strongest emphasis on education to diligence and responsibility. Most fathers can be described as active fathers who participate in upbringing of their children in all possible aspects.

Perception of the seniors by generation in age from 15 to 50 years
ABRMANOVÁ, Adéla
I have compiled a diploma thesis "Perceptions of senior citizens by the generation aged 15 to 50 years." I am going to introduce this thesis in brief. I consider this topic as very up-to-date, which the whole of our society is concerned about. And this will become more important with the continuing population aging and the changing financial situation of the state. Currently, there has been discussion about views and attitudes of young people, who consider the seniors to be a burden on the country's economy and society. Young people think that seniors live at their expense. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part in individual chapters the current situation and basic terms concerning the issue are introduced. The state of seniorhood is explained, the status of seniors in society and family in the past and today is described. The issues of aging and changes in human behavior after retirement are dealt with. Everything what may influence society´s perception is described. Intergenerational conflict and solidarity between individual generations are dealt with. In the practical part, I conducted a research survey in the generation 15-50 years of age, the aim of which was to identify the views of young people on seniors. The results of the questionnaire survey were assessed, processed and put into the practical part. My own results were compared and discussed with other authors. I selected two objectives of the thesis. The main objective of my thesis was to study and clearly process the given issue. The other objective was to determine real relationships between younger generations and seniors, the views, opinions and attitudes of younger generations to seniors and to old age in general and to process the results in order to get a survey accessible and well arranged for the use of the general public. To obtain the data, I used the questionnaire method. The thesis could serve as professional literature, the issue of the relationship between young and older generations is compiled comprehensively. This thesis could bring benefits to society as a whole. It should be read by all members of society, who may find in this manner a lot of new information and interesting views, based on which they could change their opinions and views about the senior generation. The thesis would contribute to the promotion of intergenerational solidarity, which, in my opinion, is present in society, but gradually begins to fade away.

Male role and its developement in society
VLÁČILOVÁ, Hana
The thesis deals with the male role and its development in society, whereas this issue has been currently widely discussed. For this reason, the main objective of this thesis is to indicate the evolution of the male role in the past and its impact on the current state of masculinity in partnerships and family relationships. A sub-objective is to compare the male roles in a partnership and a family with a generational gap The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the male role at the present time, more particularly with the crisis of masculinity and the social pressures on men, the terms such as sexual identity and gender identity are defined and a substantial part is devoted to the transmission of malehood in education, the relationship between father and son and a crisis of fatherhood. Equally significant is the section focused on the role of a male partner ? a husband. The theoretical part ends with a chapter in which men´s movements in the Czech Republic are briefly described. The information needed to carry out the empirical part were obtained by the qualitative research technique, semi-structured interviews with men divided by age into two groups, which allowed comparison of views of two generations. The topic of the research was the comparison of respondents' opinions on the development of male roles, changes in male roles in partnerships and a family and the influence of the fathers´ absence in shaping the male role. The results point out the similarities and differences in opinions of the two age groups of men on the above- mentioned topics. This comparison provides some food for thought, and outlines possible explanations of a masculinity crisis. The outcomes of the thesis may be a valuable information source for all men who seek their masculine identity and have been confronted with problems in their partnerships or family lives. This thesis also can help women to better understand men. In addition, it could be beneficial to teaching gender issues or sociology of the family.

Birth oriented to woman
KUBÁTOVÁ, Petra
Nowadays, respecting individual wishes of the woman in labor and her partner, the effort that pregnant women bring the child to the world in a quiet and friendly environment is accentuated. The target is that women see the birth as an important event in the life and not only as unpleasant and painful moments. From the professional point of view the alternative obstetrics consist in the effort to fulfill the wishes of women in labor without endangering the safety of the woman or of the child. In the theoretical part, the possibilities of the alternative ways of birth are summarized with focus on the birth outside the hospital facility, ambulatory births, influence of the environment of the birth room on women during the birth, accompanying persons present at birth and first of all the non-pharmacological way of softening the labor pains. From the pharmacological methods, only the epidural analgesia and spinal analgesia are mentioned in the thesis. The practical part focuses on perceiving the environment by women in labor, her satisfaction with the staff and wishes of women in labor. To treat the given issue and to achieve the postulated goal, the qualitative research examination was chosen. The investigation was performed in the form of the non-standardized talk with women after the birth which have given birth in any hospital in the Vysočina region. The target of the thesis was to find out the needs of women leading to the higher quality of the nursing care during the birth. The target was achieved. Based on the elected target, 4 research questions were formulated. The first research question was: Whose presence as member of the staff is preferred during the birth and what is expected from him/her? The research question number two: How is the environment perceived by women during the delivery? The research question number three: Would the women elect another kind of birth leading based on preceding experience? The last research question number four was: What is seen by women giving birth for the first time as negative factor during the birth? All the research questions were answered. This bachelor treatise may be a source of information for following future midwives or pregnant women preparing for the birth. It may be utilized also by midwives who can acquire in this way the survey of what is expected by women in labor from them, how these women perceive the environment and what alternatives they appreciate.

The senior´s reasons having the influence to their entrance to the House for retired people.
OUŘEDNÍKOVÁ, Zuzana
Nowadays, we are facing the challenge of meeting the future needs of the elderly because our society has been ageing gradually which results in an increasing number of people reaching retirement age. This brings about many difficulties, one of which being inability to care for themselves in their own households. This situation leads to the fact that seniors decide to leave their own homes for Senior Homes. In this thesis, I deal with the reasons leading to that decision. In the theoretical part I focused on the issue of old age and aging, the changes occurring during this period and factors that may influence seniors´ decision to move to a Senior Home. The methodology of this thesis was based on a qualitative research strategy. To obtain the necessary information to the research, interrogation technique of a semi-structured interview was used. The objective was to find out the reasons that influence seniors´ decision to start living in a Senior Home. The research was carried out in the Senior Home in Humpolec. The outcomes of this thesis may increase public awareness of this issue.

Problems of contacts between a child and father after divorce (parental alienation syndrome)
VESELÁ, Kateřina
The subject of the bachelor{\crq}s thesis is the issue of the contact of the child with the father after the divorce (parental alienation syndrome). At present, the number of divorces has been increasing as practically every second marriage is divorced. In our society the trend persists that the children are being given in charge to mother in 90% after the divorce. For this reason the thesis concentrate on fathers. Almost one half of the children from divorced marriages is being incited against one of parent, mostly against the father. Approximately one third of these children is incited so much that they develop the parental alienation syndrome. The target of the thesis is to show the causes and the way of manipulation by parents to whom the child was entrusted into the exclusive care against the other parent in South Bohemia. Moreover to find out the possibilities of the defense and how the parents concerned by this issue are informed of these possibilities. In this thesis the method of the qualitative research was applied, a half-controlled talk with fathers whose children have the parental alienation syndrome. 5 case studies were elaborated based on these talks. Moreover the research was extended by the quantitative method of questionnaire research. The questionnaires were given to fathers visiting OSPOD and Crisis Centre in České Budějovice; these centers treat the problems associated with the contact to their children after the divorce. After processing all the source documents I found out that the most frequent motive of mothers obstructing the contact of father with the child was the revenge for wrongs in the marriage or for the divorce. If the mother wants to obstruct the contact to children, the most effective solution is to move with children. The most frequent way is the illness of the child. It happens that the children have a sore-throat or problems with belly every two weeks. Although fathers are well informed of the legal possibilities to treat these problems, it is difficult to prove mother{\crq}s fault. Treating the issue of the parental alienation syndrome consists in prevention. The parents should know what impacts their divorce conflicts could have on the children and they should try that the children are not witnesses of their conflicts. The employees meeting the after-divorce conflicts of parents because of children during their work should keep in mind the parental alienation syndrome and they should intervene if they see the warning symptoms. The removal of the developed parental alienation syndrome is very complicated and the relationship of the child to the parent alienated sooner is very concerned by this. The disturbed psyche of the child may have influence on his life and influence his later relationships.

Both parents´ retrospective view of a labour in the presence of fathers
MATYÁŠOVÁ, Monika
Assistance in childbirth differed in various cultural communities and historical periods. However, childbirth was always a family matter in which father participated either directly or indirectly. The last ten years revealed that the role of a man was absolutely irreplaceable in the relationship between mother, a new-born child and father, and that the role reflected itself in the relationship not only with mother {--} the mate but also with the child. The objective of the bachelor thesis was to ascertain to what extent the father's attendance to the childbirth was a spontaneous wish of both the parents, and to what extent it was rather a wish of the woman in childbed. On the basis of my own experience, the following hypothesis was determined: ``Father{\crq}s attendance to the childbirth is predominantly a spontaneous wish of both the parents.{\crqq} In order to verify the hypothesis, I used the form of a quantitative research. The data were collected using the questionnaire containing 16 questions for mothers and 16 questions for fathers. The questions for both the groups of informants were identical. The questionnaire was anonymous. The research group consisted of the mothers giving birth to their child in the hospital in České Budějovice (a joint stock company) and their mates attending to the childbirth. The research group comprised 56 pairs of informants. The results of the thesis reveal that the mate{\crq}s attendance to the childbirth is largely a spontaneous wish of the parents-to-be. It is obvious that as early as during the pregnancy the fathers-to-be search for the information on gravidity and childbirth. They enjoy the pregnancy together with their mates and do not assume an uninterested attitude to the gravidity of their mates. Active preparation of the pairs for the childbirth is also apparent. Assessment of negatives and positives of father{\crq}s attendance to the childbirth is subjective and very individual. If the mate{\crq}s attendance to the childbirth is a common wish of both the parents-to-be, the delivery of their child is an invaluable experience in their life.
