Perception of Ideal Beauty
Ticháková, Zuzana ; Zamazalová, Marcela (advisor) ; Skokanová, Dagmar (referee)
Media broadcast every day a huge number of signals and messages that affect us, without we are aware of them. In most cases it is about a distorted reality, which seems like real reality. This, from my point of view, affect the self-confidence of current women - with a different hair colour, skin colour, with different proportions. When they are facing perfection that the media present, they feel mean and unhappy with their bodies. By analyzing data from a marketing database and created questionnaire I will try to confirm this hypothesis. In conclusion then I will propose procedures that could reduce these negative impacts or at least reduce them. It is necessary to extend the idea of real beauty and displace untouchable perfection, on which responds still younger girls. Looking back to past, we discover that before Twiggy had become famous, was respected the exact opposite of female beauty. She was the one, who started an endless hunt for the extreme slimness, which brought problems with eating disorders.

The status of women in business and trade in China
Vladovičová, Lenka ; Gullová, Soňa (advisor) ; Klosová, Anna (referee)
This bachelors thesis deals with the status of women in Chinese society, as well as in business and commercial matters. The overall approach to women is closely linked to traditional values of Confucianism, which is an important part of everyday life of ordinary Chinese. However these unseemly traditions from Chinese history still exist. A large percentage of women are struggling with various forms of discrimination, in their education process or in personal career. Working conditions for women are often worse than for men who are still more preferred in the Chinese society. Contributed to many factors, starting from China's strict one-child policy to family status, when a man is seen as the head of the family making livelihood not only for his wife and children but also for his parents. This work focuses on the alarming level of living of Chinese women, mostly in the villages, where they live in very poor family conditions, they have minimum access to education and zero possibility to build a career. At the end of my work I described one case of successful Chinese women -- an entrepreneur, who managed to fulfill her dream of her own company. The methodology of this thesis is based on an analysis of literature and my own experience. Personally, I took part in the exhibition China Fish 2010 in Beijing that made my view on this issue wider.

Gender aspects of African Development
Kolcunová, Petra ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
Trade liberalization has different impacts on groups of individuals in the society. Some of them improve their situation, the other ones get worse. Due to the existing gender inequali-ties the distribution of benefits from trade liberalization between women and men is dis-proportional. The paper indentifies main areas, in which are the gender inequalities the most significant. African women are limited in their access to education, productive resources and to technologies, but also to the means of financing. These limits prevent women from full participation in trade and therefore also in economic growth of the country. The creation of new jobs in export-oriented sectors presents the main contribution of trade liberalization for African women. The income they are getting form those jobs are usually used to finance the education and health care for children, that is why their quality of life may improve. The paper concentrates on the reciprocal relation between liberalization and gender equality, which is demonstrated on the status of women in trade and in export-oriented sectors.

Pozlovská, Zuzana ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee)
The thesis is about the representation of the women in the politics, especially in The Czech Republic. The goal is to answer on the question, if this approach depends on the position of the political party on the ideological left-right spectrum. First the thesis is focused on the development of the women's position in the society since the 18th century and on the women's right struggle within feminism. The second part of thesis presents the methods, which support the women's political activity. The last capture analyzes the approach to the women in politics of seven political parties, which won the seat in the Chamber of Deputies in Parliament of The Czech Republic in the years 2006 and 2010. It compares their approach to policy of equal gender representation in the party's documents and in the reality. The result of the analysis is that the power of the party is more important than its position on left-right spectrum in the approach to women. The more powerful party is the less opportunities have the women in politics.

Development of gender´s policy in the area of Evropean Union and its prediction
SEDLÁKOVÁ, Magdalena
Gender equality is a very important social value, which has a long-lasting tradition in European Union and it is a necessary condition for the achievement of its goals. This thesis deals with the topic of women representation in politics, particularly in European Parliament and national parliaments in European Union. The fact that women have found their way into European Parliament is evident. In 1979 only 17% of all parliament members were women and nowadays they represent more than one third of all members of the Parliament ? 35%. The representation of women in national parliaments is lower than in European Parliament and it differs in particular countries. In 2000 the representation of women in national politics reached 18,3 %. Throughout various periods no decline has been registered and in 2010 the representation of women in national politics reached 23,6 %. The comparison of the development of the representation of women in politics according to the state systems is interesting. Concerning national parliaments, the best results have been achieved in European kingdoms. The optional partial quotas are employed to increase the representation of women in politics within the frame of European Union. The long-term goals have been set to indicate further development and criteria that should have been achieved. The present idea is to reach at least 25% representation of women in national parliaments in all member states.
