Vávrová, Leona ; Kasáková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Šlosarčík, Ivo (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of the socioeconomic situation of the Catholic community in Northern Ireland. It examines the economic, educational and housing policies that were put into effect in Northern Ireland by Margaret Thatcher's government and endeavours to determine whether an improvement occurred in the socioeconomic situation of the Catholic population during her rule. Education, employment and housing were examined for the analysis. Margaret Thatcher only implemented greater changes in education during her third term in office. When she was prime minister there were no budget cuts in this area, and the budget grew slightly in the second half of the eighties. In the eighties, the trend from the previous decade continued, in which the number of Catholic students entering university grew significantly. The proportion of students from the working-class also increased. Margaret Thatcher's government considered housing policy its priority in the years 1981 to 1987. It supported the private ownership of real property, construction in the private sector and reconstruction of the housing stock. During this period, almost all examined aspects of housing improved. Not only was the average level in the Catholic community studied, but also the average level in ten districts with the largest proportion of a...

Religion segmentation in Northern Ireland, 1861-2001
Smetanová, Daniela ; Říchová, Blanka (advisor) ; Masopustová, Ilona (referee)
This Bachelor's thesis "Religion segmentation in Northern Ireland, 1861-2001" examines the evolution of the representation of religious communities of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Protestants mostly came to Ulster during the Ulster plantation in the early 17th century from England and Scotland. They brought a different culture, way of life and religion to Catholic Ireland. The basis of the conflict in Northern Ireland is a distinct religion that blends into political life. Groups of Catholics and Protestants stand opposite, Catholics try to unify with the Republic of Ireland (Nationalists) and Protestants protect the current situation, a union with Great Britain (Unionists). This paper examines the geographic aspect of the religious composition of the population in counties Antrim, Down, Londonderry/Derry, Tyrone, Armagh and Fermanagh since 1861, when Ireland was part of Great Britain and continues through the division of the island into the southern and northern parts and the culmination of the conflict in Northern Ireland, until 2001 when the situation in Ulster began to stabilize thanks to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The principal objectives of research are to identify factors influencing the distribution of religious groups and the influence of each phase on the...

Čornej, Petr
The detailed analysis of parts in which Václav Hájek of Libočany in his Czech Chronicle (1541) described the Hussite era shows that the Catholic author did not have the strict antihussite attitude. He fully respected the political and religious organization of the Czech state formed in the years of Hussite revolution.
