Lunter, Jakub ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Mucha, Ivan (referee)
Reflexia totalitných režimov v Poľsku a Československu po roku 1989 Coming to term with totalitarian past in Poland and Czechoslovakia after the year 1989 The aim of the thesis is to compare the process of redistribution of justice (coming to term with communist past) in Poland and Czechoslovakia (with the emphasis on the Czech part of previous federal state) after the fall of authoritarian regime. In order to be able to understand all the circumstances and the discrepancies of these two transitions, the thesis analytically compares the way how transition was proceeded in both countries using Huntington typology of transition. Based on Huntington and transitional justice theories, Poland went through slow transition since new elites had to negotiate every piece of an agreement, which took many years for Poland to transform into democratic country with all basic aspects of liberal democracy. While in Czech republic, transition took merely two weeks which is considered to be "hectic" type of transition. Based on the thesis, hectic transition had an influence on quick legislative changes enacting administrative lustration, while Polish progressive transition (and therefore strong necessity to cooperate for longer period of time with communist leaders) caused delay of administrative lustration. Hectic...

Cultural and sociological aspects of the transformation of football spectatorship in the Czech Republic
Kasal, Josef ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor) ; Kučírek, Jiří (referee)
Spectator violence commited during football matches is felt very inconsistently in the world. There are particularities of football violence in every country and each of them solves this problem in a different way, in its cultural and traditional context although the principle is the same - the elimination of dangerous fan groups. Game, sport, football and the spectatorship have deep fundamentals in cultural and social rootage of human existence. Any play is natural part of life. The Football violence is social adverse behaviour and current science wants to solve its causes. Our opinion is that the violence factors in football inhere in context of social life. The Czech republic has gone trough different political development than the West countries since the end of the World War II.. These differencies have impact on football violence as well. In connexion with globalization effects the Czech football violence has the basic features like other countries where football is popular.

Philosophical and psychological issues of free will; free will and responsibility
Kasalová, Aneta ; Kosek, Jan (advisor) ; Mucha, Ivan (referee)
Philosophical and Psychological Issues of Free Will; Free Will and Responsibility My thesis is dealing with the issues of free will and legal responsibility. I have chosen this topic because it is one of the questions that many people, including me, keep asking very often, but no one really knows the answer. The aim of my thesis is to show that whether free will exists or not, the law as we know it has to admit its existence anyway. My thesis is composed of three main parts. The first and the second part are introduction to a philosophical and psychological discourse related to free will. Whether free will exists or not has been debated throughout history from antic until today and the opinions are very different. The brightness of the opinions between hard determinism (there is no free will) and libertarianism (our will is completely free) is what I tried to point out. The third part of my thesis focuses on the link between free will and legal responsibility. I chose to concentrate myself at the criminal responsibility and at those parts of the Criminal Codex assuming human's free will - as paragraphs referring to sanity, and also those parts which excludes criminal responsibility because the free will was missing - as the paragraphs concerned with necessity defense etc. Another issue related to...

The influence of mobility on cultural diversity in unified Europe
Lekešová, Lucie ; Mucha, Ivan (advisor)
This dissertation thesis focuses on the European dimension of cultural diversity, migration, national and European identity, and the knowledge of languages. Languages help facilitating dialogue between cultures according to the strategic goals of the European Union (EU). It is continually difficult for European countries to find the rules of peaceful coexistence between the European and non-European cultures, ethnical groups and religions. In conclusion, a multicultural environment is formed. The EU is based on "unity in diversity", i.e. diversity of cultures, customs, as well as languages. The EU does not aim to erase the differences among individual states, but to support, preserve and honour them through its community programmes, political provisions and recommendations. This thesis is divided into two parts. The first one is the theoretical basis, which introduces the main terms in the area of cultural diversity, and national and European identity. This section also describes the concepts and strategies of the EU, which are then analyzed in the second portion, the empirical part. The chapter in the theoretical part focuses on cultural diversity while introducing cultural policies of the EU and its new strategy for culture in in the globalized world. Cultural diversity is a common denominator for...

Cyberpropaganda and its Communication Models
Gladiš, Michal ; Marcelli, Miroslav (advisor) ; Mucha, Ivan (referee)
Cyberpropaganda and its Communication Models In this thesis, communication models representing the functioning of communication in a network of social interactions are analyzed. Understanding the communication of new media can contribute to understanding the processes that take place in cyberspace. The aim of this thesis is to decipher the forms of propaganda that operate in it. This work can contribute to the understanding of several forms of current social events, such as public relations, influencing public opinion or political struggle, which have significantly moved into cyberspace. The presentation of cyberspace and new media from several perspectives, together with the complex characterization of the communication that takes place in them, creates its overall image, in which the thesis reveals possible penetrations of propaganda tendencies of targeted manipulation with its members. In this thesis, cyberpropaganda is approached from several points of view. It is about updating propaganda models from the mass media to the emergence of new forms, techniques and tools that have enabled the new media. The starting point of this research is to clarify the complexity of communication, which is not shaped exclusively by its new technical aspects, but is to some extent a continuation of its previous...
