Is the Language of Science/Technology Manipulative?
Plichta, Lukáš ; Smutný, Milan (referee) ; Walek, Agata (advisor)
Tato bakalářská práce se zaměřuje na problematiku manipulativnosti jazyka v politickém diskurzu. Politické projevy této doby se často věnují velkému množství společenských problémů a mohou být manipulativní. Záměrem této práce je tedy zkoumat důležitost kontroly veřejného diskurzu, který je nezbytný pro reprodukci manipulace v politice. Dále se tato práce zaměřuje na odhalení cílů a prostředků manipulace. Analýza manipulativních strategií Donalda Trumpa v páté kapitole slouží jako nástroj pro úspěšnou identifikaci manipulace. Hlavním cílem této práce je zjistit, zda je jazyk politiky manipulativní a jak se taková manipulace projevuje.

The role of the Czech public media in the pension reform discourse
Tomíčková, Adéla ; Háva, Petr (advisor) ; Mašková, Pavla (referee)
The thesis 'The role of the Czech public media in the pension reform discourse' aims to provide a critical reflection on the role of the Czech Television and the Czech Radio in the debate over the changes in the pension scheme of the Czech Republic. The principal method used for that is the discourse analysis, which comprises quality and quantity analysis of the media output, interviews and personal observation. The research project focuses on the context the debate over the pension reform occurs and how it is presented in the public media. The theoretical part summarizes the theoretical concepts used in the research project, i.e. concepts from the field of public policy, social policy, mass communication and discourse analysis. The empirical part examines the institutional development of the pension reform, its variations in political, scholarly (Czech and international) and public discourse. The major part of the research project is based on the discourse analysis of the pension reform discourse in the Czech public media. The role of the public media in the pension reform discourse is deduced on the basis of the theoretical and empirical parts.

The reflection of feminism in the Czech public discourse
Papcunová, Kristína ; Lupač, Petr (advisor) ; Dudová, Radka (referee)
The main objective of the present thesis is an effort to understand better how Czech women construct their views on feminism and what factors of Czech distance from feminism are, which is clearly visible in the post-1989 era. The thesis starts with the description of feminism, its development and inner differentiation. Then the author focuses on development and current situation in the Czech Republic, which is specific for its historically contingent connotation. The following section presents the analytical results of the qualitative research. By applying the technique of semi-structured interviews, the author brings up the questions of how Czech women perceive and understand feminism and how do they interpret the current situation of women. One of the main objectives of the empirical part was also to find out whether it is possible to apply Aronson's typology of feminism of the situation in the Czech Republic. Due to the specificity of the Czech environment, the author comes to the conclusion that there can be identified four different approaches to feminism. Within this framework, the analysis of interviews led to identification of several important factors that affect the construction of feminist consciousness among Czech women.
