Katedra sociologie. Vedoucí diplomové práce PhDr. Ing. Petr Soukup. Abstract This thesis focuses on civic participation of Czech pupils in the realm of civil society. The main task is to find out which factors influence civic attitudes and engagement of youth in current society. There has been an increased interest in concept of civil society since the fall of Communist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe with respect to political, economic and social changes. These changes resulted in a need to rethink the content of civic and citizenship education. Firstly the author describes civil society as a context for civic participation with special emphasis on Czech civil society and then she deals with the theory of political socialization, which helps her to identify the key determinants of civic engagement. Family, school, peer groups and media are seen as the main agents of this socialization. Using data from the International Civic and Citizenship study the author concludes that context of schools and classrooms and motivation are the most important direct factors in civic engagement.

Disagreement about childbirth
Hanousková, Lenka ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Soukup, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with disagreement between midwives and doctors about the fact where and in which conditions mothers should give birth to a child. While the doctors support the present way when most children are born in hospitals under doctor's control, midwives argue for so called natural childbirth when women deliver the child surrounded by familiar environment and with midwife's assistance. The description of both groups behaviour is based on the theory of Peirre Bourdieu. Midwives are focused on the change of their status in the process of childbirth while doctors want to preserve the present situation. Both groups use different discourses while creating their professional position providing different services. Doctors' way is more technological and clinical, while midwives create their professional position in more psychological way. There is a competitive fight in which both group use strategy of their own professionalization and disprofessionalization of the rival group and different interpretation of the same data. Because of disadvantageous position of midwives in the process of childbirth, they create their own strategies against doctors.

Benešová, Romana ; Plecitá, Klára (advisor) ; Soukup, Petr (referee)
Diplomová práce "Ageismus jako střet věkových skupin" pojednává o postavení a o vzájemných vztazích lidí různého stáří v České republice. Autorka se zaměřuje na význam a důsledky věkové kategorizace společnosti v očích jejích členů. Předmětem zájmu je zejména postavení mladých lidí ve věku 20 až 29 let a seniorů starších 70 let. Ageismus je totiž v této práci považován za nebezpečný fenomén, který se formuje v interakci odlišných věkových skupin. K interpretaci vztahů mezi věkovými skupinami autorka využívá perspektivu sociální psychologie, zejména aplikuje teorii sociální identity. V empirické části práce je na základě analýzy dat z kvantitativního výzkumu European Social Survey Round 4 nejprve zkoumán vztah jedince k jeho vlastní věkové skupině. Poté se autorka zaměřuje na popis sdílených stereotypů a předsudků vůči věkovým skupinám, na zkušenosti s věkovou diskriminací a na míru segregace věkových skupin ve společnosti. Na závěr jsou nastíněny možné cesty ke zmírnění ageismu, jejichž společným cílem je snaha o formování věkově integrovanější společnosti.

Mitkovová, Daniela ; Kuchař, Pavel (advisor) ; Soukup, Petr (referee)
The thesis is devoted to problem of transition of university graduates into the labor market. Having very complex character this situation is affected by many factors on both system and individual level. The starting point is the theory of human capital and the importance of its individual components. The paper focuses on activities that transcend mainly theory-oriented framework of university studies. These activities have been specified as working while studying, internships, studying or training in abroad. By the means of them university graduates can invest in their human capital and develop their competencies, and thereby increase their chances for better work in the form of higher income. Whether this in fact occurs was verified by secondary analysis of quantitative data from a research project REFLEX. Through multiple linear regression models was explored the influence of partial activities in comparison with the influence of variables indicative of the level of tertiary education on the gross income of university graduates from technical, economic and social science study programs. Finally, depending on the implementation of the partial activities differences in estimating own level of university graduates' competencies were evaluated.
