Voslář, Václav ; Gelnarová, Jitka (advisor) ; Kotábová, Věra (referee)
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is multiculturalism and interculturalism policy and the possibilities of its use in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the thesis is to show whether the multiculturalism and interculturalism policy, which is defined by this thesis, is able to solve problems of ethnic minorities in Czech society. First, a model of policy is created based on the synthesis of various theories of multiculturalism and interculturalism. To do that, basic assumption is that concepts of multiculturalism and interculturalism do not carry a stigma in Czech society as they do in other regions and that it is possible to let them work together in a coherent model. Second, this thesis deals with the Czech debate on the topic of multiculturalism and with the troubles of ethnic minorities in Czech society, particularly immigrant minorities and Roma minority. Third, particular documents containing the concepts of immigrant and Roma integration adopted by Czech government are analyzed. In these documents, the steps towards the multiculturalism and interculturalism policy are pointed out. Afterwards, these steps are considered as measures to deal with problems of immigrant minorities and Roma minority in the Czech Republic.

Voslář, Václav ; Jirků, Jan (advisor) ; Kocourková, Lucie (referee)
The topic of this bachelor's thesis is an analysis of a TV show 'Přežiješ mládí?'. The main tool to achieve this goal is semiotic analysis, as a method suitable for analysing any audiovisual content. The show is educational and is primarily aimed at young people between approximately 18 and 24 years of age. Aside from semiotic analysis the thesis provides a brief summary of various facts about the effects of media on society, its influence on young people, focusing on the influence of television, and educational potential of media, specifically considering young generation. The TV show 'Přežiješ mládí?' is dealing with road traffic accidents and with common failures of young people in traffic. One part of the thesis therefore also examines the attitude of the young to road traffic safety and the possibilities of improving this attitude. After this theoretical part, a methodological framework follows, that introduces characteristics of semiotic analysis and point out its specific aspects and features used for the analysis in this case. The third part of the thesis is the analysis itself.
