Educational Values Within The Contemporary Czech Family From The Perspective Of Fathers Under Forty Years Of Age
FUČÍKOVÁ, Kateřina
The position of father in family is a well debated topic of these days. Fathers today are not considered to be the breadwinners of family but their status is much more important. They are involved in upbringing of the children, they look after them in the same way as mothers do and some of them are even on maternity leave which as we know from the professional sources was not heard of in the past. The objective of this bachelor thesis was to find out the fathers´ point of view of current Czech family and values inside it and to answer the following questions: whether the way of upbringing of the respondents is affected by the approach of their parents during their childhood, how the respondents perceive the current Czech family and the educational values inside it, what values the respondents prefer when bringing up their own children, what the respondents position in the family is. For the empiric part of the bachelor thesis qualitative research with the method of half structured interview and the technique of inquiry was used. Research aggregate chosen with the method of snow ball consisted of 19 fathers younger than 40 living in the town of Benešov and its area. The result of work shows that majority of fathers younger than 40 feel affected by the upbringing of their original family. Their view of current Czech family is very sceptical in most cases and the large majority of fathers younger than 40 consider material values the highest respected value. Research regarding the educational values of father under the age of 40 in their family showed that the fathers put the strongest emphasis on education to diligence and responsibility. Most fathers can be described as active fathers who participate in upbringing of their children in all possible aspects.

For this reason, the main objective of this thesis is to indicate the evolution of the male role in the past and its impact on the current state of masculinity in partnerships and family relationships. A sub-objective is to compare the male roles in a partnership and a family with a generational gap The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the male role at the present time, more particularly with the crisis of masculinity and the social pressures on men, the terms such as sexual identity and gender identity are defined and a substantial part is devoted to the transmission of malehood in education, the relationship between father and son and a crisis of fatherhood. Equally significant is the section focused on the role of a male partner ? a husband. The theoretical part ends with a chapter in which men´s movements in the Czech Republic are briefly described. The information needed to carry out the empirical part were obtained by the qualitative research technique, semi-structured interviews with men divided by age into two groups, which allowed comparison of views of two generations. The topic of the research was the comparison of respondents' opinions on the development of male roles, changes in male roles in partnerships and a family and the influence of the fathers´ absence in shaping the male role. The results point out the similarities and differences in opinions of the two age groups of men on the above- mentioned topics. This comparison provides some food for thought, and outlines possible explanations of a masculinity crisis. The outcomes of the thesis may be a valuable information source for all men who seek their masculine identity and have been confronted with problems in their partnerships or family lives. This thesis also can help women to better understand men. In addition, it could be beneficial to teaching gender issues or sociology of the family.

Man´s Position In Family Planning
CÁPOVÁ, Adéla
The participation of men in family planning appears to be a suitable tool for the improvement of relationships between couples and their children. This thesis studies the attitudes of men towards family planning questions. The theoretical part of the thesis is divided into three main chapters: Family planning, The Male Indentity and the Social Roles of Men. The research methods which were chosen were based upon the collection of data. Twenty semi-structured interviews with early adult men were processed by means of grounded theory. Interview questions involved the definition of family planning and seven categories were created upon that basis: the association of the concept of family planning, images of family, attitudes towards the meaning of children in life, male attitudes regarding men{\crq}s role in child care, paternity leave, contraception as well as solutions regarding fertility disorders. The chosen methodology should assess the important social influences that play a role in the attitudes of men towards family planning and the roles of men in family planning. The setting of the conditions for the beginning of reproduction should be the result of negotiation within the couple. In spite of the willingness to change parenting roles, negotiation still leads to a traditional division of these parenting roles, where the woman is a care-giver and the man is the breadwinner. Gender sensitive upbringing is a good way to give support towards the responsibility within the family planning of men and women; it leads them in equal negotiation regarding questions of parenting. The results of this thesis is the creation of a new theory about the role of men in family planning and interested researchers are to be encouraged to verify its validity by continuing in this area of research.
