Hanusová, Veronika ; Topolovská, Tereza (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the play The Children by a contemporary British author Lucy Kirkwood. It looks at the play from an ecocritical point of view and focuses on the way it reflects the environmental problems of today's world, especially regarding the issue of human responsibility for human-induced climate change. The theoretical part introduces key concepts such as the idea of Anthropocene and Capitalocene, their ethical implications and the idea of responsibility towards future generations. Furthermore, it briefly touches upon the biography of the author, her work, and the real-life inspiration behind The Children, the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima in Japan. The practical part interprets the play from the perspective of responsibility of one generation towards others. This thesis sees The Children as a commentary on the state of today's society and attempts to draw a parallel between the situation in the play and the current ecological crisis and climate change. KEYWORDS Lucky Kirkwood, The Children, Anthropocene, Responsibility, Future Generations, Climate Crisis

The ethical problem of responsibility towards the next generation
ADÁMKOVÁ, Hana
The thesis deals with the responsibility towards future generations within the field of social work. First, basic concepts such as social work, future generations and responsibility are characterized. Subsequently, the text deals with the responsibility towards future generations, which it connects with the practice of social workers. In the discussion, the text focuses on specific areas where responsibility towards future generations in social work is found. Specifically, it divides this responsibility into two types, namely to existing generations and non-existent future generations. The thesis finds responsibility for existing future generations in the field of social work with children and adolescents and in social work with the family. Responsibility towards non-existent future people can be found in the field of social policy, as a tool of social work, in the education of future social workers or in the areas of social work that deal with prevention. This work proves that responsibility towards future generations is a relevant concept for the social work, which has its place in the field.
