The presented thesis focuses on the ethical aspects of social work with at-risk youth, from the perspective of utilitarian and deontological ethics. The reader gets acquainted with the connection of ethics in social work, with the risky behavior of young people and with the theoretical interpretation of ethical systems. Qualitative research is chosen in the work - a method of interview with several social workers who work with at-risk youth. Based on the results, the thesis analyses the applicability of ethical theories in practice with regard to the specifics of clients, their degree of usability, or what other ethical theories correspond in practice with the actions of a social worker.

The golden rule of morality in practice
PRÁŠKOVÁ, Tereza
The golden rule of morality is a universal pattern of human behavior that requires us not to do to others what we do not want others to do to us. This bachelor thesis deals with a view of morality, ethics, and their application in everyday life. At the same time, it maps some complex ethical and moral decisions, for example in the field of human conscience and honor. Furthermore, this work deals with man and his self-reflection and the issue of perception of good and evil. In this work, it is also possible to find related information about, norms and law and also a summary of current moral norms, morality in religion, and information about the categorical imperative, as the law of morality is called. The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to map the arguments that informants most often use for their moral behavior and what role the golden rule of morality plays in their decision-making. These goals and conclusions are then summarized in the final part of this work. Qualitative research, the method of questioning, and the technique of semi-structured interview were chosen for the practical part. The results were processed using the method of creating tufts, which is used to connect certain statements into groups according to common features. From the results of the research, it is clear that informants follow the golden rule of morality in most cases, although they are not aware of it in theory. The motivation for their moral behavior is mostly their conscience or internal principles. This work can be beneficial in social work as a probe into people's thinking.

Interpersonal relationship and spiritual growth
Kučerová, Barbora ; Jirsa, Jakub (advisor) ; Jinek, Jakub (referee)
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to investigate the connection between de- veloping relationships with other people and individual effort on the highest knowledge. Its intention is to examine the form of this connection between social and epistemological (or theological) sphere. Through the analysis of M. Buber's work I and Thou and I. Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, the thesis attempts to present and clarify what kind of relationships can we adopt towards the world, other people, and spiritual sphere. Within the scope of these relatioships, the thesis wish to emphasise the specificity of interpersonal relationship. Afterwards, on the grounds of this specifity, it should be shown whether there is any spe- cial mutual dependance between interpersonal relationship and the higher knowledge. However, it might be also shown that there is not such depen- dance or even that in striving for higher knowledge and spiritual growth, it is necessary to surrender all finite things including interpersonal relation- ships. Whatever the outcome of this reflection might be, we are still human beings dealing with everyday circumstances of ordinary life. Consequently, we cannot break loose of involvement in interpersonal relationships as we are repeatably forced to return...

The Implementation of the Golden Rule of Morality into Crisis Plans for the Protection of Population
MARKVART, Petr
In my diploma thesis entitled Implementing the Gold Rule of Morality in Crisis Planning for Population Protection, I will try to draw on the ideas and conclusions of my bachelor thesis, in which I investigated whether members of the Integrated System Can use the golden rule of morality in an emergency. I have come to the conclusion that the members of the individual components of the integrated rescue system are guided by the valid legislation and orders of the commander of the intervention. Nevertheless, they would welcome in certain situations the possibility of deciding according to the golden rule of morality, which briefly tells us: "I do not want to do the other to you." Translated into situations in the event of an extraordinary event may mean deciding in tedious situations so, as if you were the Rescued and not the savior. The aim of my thesis is to find out whether it is possible to implement this idea in the crisis plans themselves and, above all, whether the intervening members of the integrated rescue system themselves would use this rule in certain situations. The association of two seemingly incompatible worlds seems at first glance absurd, but research and interviews with individual members of the integrated system have convinced me that the philosophical questions and the name of Imanuel Kant can very closely mingle with the world of extraordinary events and the salvation of Human lives, health and property of the population. I would very much like to work with this bachelor thesis together with my previous bachelor thesis, tried to create a unified whole as an idea that can motivate us to think whether it is necessary to change the current state of legislation or whether the legislation itself is set as a form of golden rule of morality .

Religion and Morality: God in Kant's practical philosophy
Bizubová, Barbora ; Kouba, Pavel (advisor) ; Karásek, Jindřich (referee)
I follow two basic lines in the inquired works: I find out, first, how Kant operates with the concept of God and how can this concept be understood in context of his philosophy as a whole. Second, as a consequence of it I consider the relation between human morality (or categorical imperative) and faith (religion). The postulate of the existence of God that Kant puts forward in the Critique of Practical Reason gives rise to the question: How can the idea of God be compatible with the autonomous morality, which is in fact the main pillar of Kant's ethics (formulated in the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Moral)? The Religon within the limits of reason alone answers some of the basic questions considering the concept of God and religous belief. Thanks to these answers it can be shown how the autonomy of the will is compatible with the religion. Key words Human morality, philosophy of religion, God, the categorical imperative, the highest Good

Kant's Categorical Imperativ and its Critique by Nineteenth Century Philosophers
Vašků, Kateřina ; Blažková, Miloslava (advisor) ; Hogenová, Anna (referee)
Diploma thesis "Kant's Categorical Imperative and Its Critique by Nineteenth Century Philosophers" deals with a question of Kant's fundamental principle known as the Categorical Imperative or Moral Law. The aim of this work is at first to discuss two other moral principles because of their great impact on Kant seeking the moral principle. These are Hume's moral code called Moral sense and Rousseau' moral views relating to the freedom of individuals. Secondly, to find out how both moral theories did inspire Immanuel Kant. It is necessary to explain strengths of Kant's Formula of the Categorical Imperative especially to emphasise its objectivity and universality. Then the purpose is to show Kant's influence on moral thinking in the nineteenth century. It is necessary to mention philosophers such as Johan Gottlieb Fichte and Bernard Bolzano who focused on critique of the Categorical Imperative.

The Golden Rule of morality in everyday practice population protection
MARKVART, Petr
The aim of the bachelor thesis titled The Golden Rule of Morality in Everyday Practice of Population Protection is to ponder about the questions of rescuers' obligations within their work duties and to find out to what extent can they, in their line of work, operate with a certain amount of empathy to their surroundings, to the people, who are immediately affected by a crisis situation, whose health or even life is endangered, or who are in the danger of losing their property. I would like to use my thesis to find out, whether there are some situations in which the rescuers can encounter an inner conflict. Should they only follow the legislation, that is currently in effect, or should they sometimes follow their intuition, and especially the golden rule of morality? Can the rescuers imagine themselves in the position of the rescued and and use it to adjust their decisions? I will back my thesis with an anonymous qualitative research, in which fifteen members of the three basic rescue agencies (Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, Police of the Czech Republic and Emergency Medial Service of the Czech Republic) have participated. The respondents were answering questions which were suitable for statistical evaluation. What can we find out from the questionnaire, and the proffesionals' answers? The questions were aimed at the proces of evacuation of civilians from flood areas and the possibility of application of the golden rule. Can we claim it necessary to define the field of population protection and the work of the individual rescue agencies of the Integrated Rescue System through legislation and observance of the current law, regulations and degrees in the area of population protection and crisis management? It is because of this legislation, that we have clearly defined procedures in various crisis situations, specifically in the area of planning, preparation and preventive measures. In spite of that fact, we will find out, whether some of the rescuers have ever followed the golden rule of morality in their line of work, or whether they can at least imagine themselves following it in some occasions (and if so, what would be the occasions). It is not my goal to use this thesis to detract from the siginificance of clearly set rules, designated procedures and orders from intervention commanders in crisis situations. The goal, that I have set for myself, is to discover how thin the line is between that which I have to do even though I might not agree with it, and that which I want to do, even if it means breaking some rules. As emerged from the research, we have a specific, embedded sense of justice and order. Are we more inclined to follow the rules and the individual given regulations, or to have a certain amount of liberty in deciding and following the golden rule? I find the topic itself highly attractive. The interconnection of the three agencies of the Integrated Rescue System may appear nonsensical at first glance. However, in this thesis, we will discover that there is, in fact, a very distinct link between them. When an intervention of the Integrated Rescue System occurs, it very often involves interaction between the firemen, paramedics and policemen on one side, and the rescued people on the other. None of the rescuers can resist feeling a certain amount of empathy towards the rescued person. What if it was me in his place? It is in this way, that the topics, at first glance so very different, interconnect into a very specific issue. I do not think there is a lot of situations in the field of population protection, in which one can follow the golden rule of morality. Certainly, the official procedures are the most effective way of work of all the agencies of the Integrated Rescue System. However, I think that there are some situations in the everyday practice of population protection, where one can, indeed, follow the golden rule of morality.
