Ageism and Elder Abuse and Neglect
Budilová, Michaela ; Cimrmannová, Tereza (referee) ; Ondrušová, Jiřina (advisor)
The aim of this work is theoretical mapping of the problem of ageism and its extreme form which represents the abuse of older people. In the first part of the work there is a space devoted to the description of ageism as a serious social problem, which uses the age as a basic organizational structure of society and sees it as a reason for discrimination. I am trying to summarize the current knowledge in the sources, motives, contexts, symptoms and consequences of this phenomenon. In more detail, I am dealing with three basic ageism burdened areas of public life, such as the labor market, health service and media. The second part of the work is focused on the extreme demonstration of ageism, the abuse of older people. I describe occurring forms of elder abuse and use case reports to attest its destructiveness and high social dangerousness. I summarize the theoretical concept of the phenomenon, known Czech researches, the possibility of prevention and assistance to victims with an emphasis on the activities of the ŽIVOT 90 association.

Chourová, Lenka ; Cimrmannová, Tereza (referee) ; Mitáš, Václav (advisor)
The diploma thesis entitled "Consumer Society and its Influence on Emotional Deprivation and Self-Confidance of Adolescent Girls" pays attention to the adolescence of girls in present society and particularly to problematic psychosocial aspects of such an influence. My disseration is sturcuralised as an analysis of particular phenomenons and consequently their mutual influence and interaction. Present Euroamerican society is characterised as a consumer society with many specifical signs and results including alienation of man, desintegration of traditional family and acceptance of shallow consumer ideals including a commercional ideal of beauty. We analyze adolescence as a period of rapid changes and shakes which may bring even an unbearable measure of burden and stress to adolescent girls. We closely follow particular aspects of spiritual, physical and social adolescence with special attention to possibly dangerous factors and their negative influence as well as socialisation and main factors which affect it. Special chapter is dedicated to the most burning issues which may appear during the adolescence in consumer society, where we focus on eating disorders, self-mutilation, delinquency and drug and alcohol abuse.

The post abortive syndrom
Fojtíková, Kateřina ; Mitáš, Václav (advisor) ; Cimrmannová, Tereza (referee)
The issue of the post abortive syndrome is new and inadequately discussed. The syndrome itself is a set of symptoms and troubles that a certain number of women develop after an abortion, be it a miscarriage or an induced termination of pregnancy. The syndrome is regarded as a special form of posttraumatic stress disorder. The term of post abortive syndrome is rather divisive, a fact attributable primarily to the important role that the term plays in the prolife and pro-abortion controversies. While the pro-life supporters tend to attach much importance to the syndrome and use it to dissuade women from the termination, the pro abortion advocates are inclined to play it down, either outright denying its existence or trying to ascribe the troubles to the guilty conscience inflicted upon the woman by the anti abortion milieu.
