Philosophy of life quality and health in the work of Jan Sokol
SELLNEROVÁ, Tereza
This bachelor thesis deals with philosophy of life quality and health in the work of Jan Sokol. Theoretical part is focused on defining the term life quality and health, summarizes the development in time and describes different views of special institutions, scientific branches, especially philosophy. Other chapters of this work describe life and work of Jan Sokol. In the end of the theoretical part I tried to compare works of current Czech authors who write about the quality of life and health. I compared their work with Jan Sokol. The goal of this work is to look at the philosophical aspects of power and money, focusing on the quality life and health. This was studied in the quantitative way. I used an anonymous questionnaire for gathering information. The research was realized in March and April 2009 in the region of South Bohemia. 250 questionnaires were distributed, 125 for women and 125 for men. 222 questionnaires were handed back. 3 of them were not complete so they were rejected. The final number of questionnaires was 219. Three working hypotheses were set. Hypothesis number 1 was proved: Excess of financial resources enables us to live a happy life. Hypothesis number 2 was also proved: Excess of financial resources enables us to have above standard health care. Hypothesis number 3 was not proved: Excess of financial resources does not guarantee happy life. The goal of this work was accomplished by the execution of the research. The result shows that most interviewed people, regardless of education, consider their income average in Czech standards. The same amount of informants is satisfied with their income. The same number is not satisfied. The majority of questioned people would feel happier if their income was twice as high. This fact, unfortunately, is the reflection of current consumer society which measures everything by money. The fact is proved by the thoughts and statements of Sokol, which I described in the theoretical part. This bachelor thesis could help parents, educators and pedagogues, who deal with educating and upbringing of children, to point at life values which are not related with sufficiency of financial resources. Implied results could form basis of thinking for each member of present society.
