Lipková, Simona ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Rudolfová, Veronika (referee)

This thesis is focused on comparison of specifics of single fatherhood and the situation of single mothers in the Czech Republic. At the head of majority of single-parent families is a woman, but there are cases in which the head of single-parent family is a man. The situation of single fathers has not been explored enough yet. That is why I consider this topic very interesting. The thesis focuses on comparison of four key aspects of single-parenthood. These are reconciliation of job and childcare, economic situation of single-mothers and single- fathers families, childcare and household chores and the last aspect is attitude of people towards the single-parenthood. The main aim of the thesis is to find out if the situation of single-fathers families is different from the situation of single-mothers families. I have used primary data, which I gained from interviews with single fathers and also secondary data from different qualitative researches and literature focused on issues connected to this topic. The secondary data have been used for description of the situation of single mothers and also for the comparison of both groups.

The Delimitation of a racism as a policy problem in governmental documents: Analysis of discourse since 1989 to 2014
Hon, Matěj ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Drhová, Zuzana (referee)
This diploma thesis is mainly focused on term racism, especially how the term racism is used in government documents. The author's point of view is based on social constructivism. Author focuses on way of understanding constructions of the term racism made by relevant policy- makers. The goals of this thesis are descriptive (the description of a discourse in government documents and its broader context) and explanatory (an explanation of an interaction of the discourse and its context). The broader context is found by the event history analysis and by an analysis of stakeholders. The discourse analysis is based on texts found in government documents. The results of these analyses show racism as a complex problem including a wider category of social phenomena related to the disadvantaged situation of ethnic minority groups. Nevertheless we are able to identify several competing approaches to this problem delimitation. Two of them consider racism in context of various social problems having different views on causality between these two levels. Two other approaches link racism with security policy and differ with emphasis on preventive and repressive tools.
