Behavioral addiction to online social networking, social literacy and social status
MAJEROVÁ, Žaneta
For today´s children it is common to live in two places at once - in the off-line environment of the classroom and in the online world of social networks. The movement in both places requires an individual to abound with certain abilities and skills. At the same time, the individuals in both places - online and offline, encounter with some dangers - in the social media case it can be considered addictive behaviour. The question is whether the abilities and skills that the individual uses in the real world and which affect his position in the classroom may be somehow related to the emergence and development of addictive behaviour on social networks. The aim of the theoretical part is to inform readers about the problematic of addictive behaviour on social networks, to explain the importance of social contact and outline the connection between online and offline environments. The practical part contains the research, which is aimed to find out, if there are any correlations between addictive behaviour on social networks, social literacy and social status of pupils.

Štraubová, Kateřina ; Marsová, Jana (advisor) ; Vidovičová, Helena (referee)
This paper discusses the influence of the social and financial awards on the self-assessment of nurses. In the theoretical part I deal with explanation of terms as self-konception, self-respect, prestige and social status of the profession. Since the prestige of the profession influences besides other things historical development of professions, I have been also interested in the history of nursing. To be able to measure the economic effects of self-reflection of the nurses, I compared the amount of the financial evaluation of selected professional groups in the country. In the practical part I have found out nurses' opinion to view their financial assessment with regard to educational achievement and job description and their opinion on membership in a particular social group. I also wonder, as a general nurse assesses the media image of their profession and what is most troubling to him. I also tried to determine what is the most common motivation for general nurses to remain in their profession.

Clothes Make the Man: Dress as a Medium of Meanings
Märzová, Hana ; Šanderová, Jadwiga (advisor) ; Volek, Martin (referee)
In this thesis the meanings given by students to dress are examined. Then, these meanings are compared to those discussed in sociological literature dealing with dress and fashion. Dress is not only a protection of body against unpleasant weather but also a medium for meanings related to the wearer of the dress. Through a dress it is possible to express social status, social role, hobbies, opinions, membership in various groups and also lifestyle. Clothing and fashion are strongly associated with young people because the fashion is made for them and they contribute to its creation. For adolescents dress is a matter of particular importance because it enables them not only to express, but also to build their identity and thus reach adulthood. Dress has also an important role in our relations to other people. The analysis of interviews with students resulted in the finding that meanings given to dress by students are similar to those discussed in sociological literature. For interviewed students it is important to have a freedom to wear, what they want, because it enables them to be themselves. The findings from interviews rather contradict Simmel's assumption because a fashion is considered by interviewed students as uniform, while originality is located outside the fashion. Those students also...
