The influence of negative parenting on preschool children.
PEKÁRKOVÁ, Jitka
This bachelor work deals with a topic of family and its backround influences for children . In the theoretical part I have outlined the historical development of the family. By the help of the literature I have read over, I have brought in a few definitions to realize the versatility in this case. I have focused on the family in the society context and by the help of a few characteristics I have showed the differences between a healthy and an unhealthy family. Then I have marked out some problem moments in the family backround, for example the unsuitable educational parents´ postures. In the practical part I have used two investigative methods. The first is a case study. It was caused by a long-lasting observation and it shows the negative and unfit backround which is obvious in the behaviour of children in nursery schools. The second is a questionare. It was given to the parents of the pre-school children and it shows how the parents raise their children and how they solve incidental problems.

Male role and its developement in society
VLÁČILOVÁ, Hana
The thesis deals with the male role and its development in society, whereas this issue has been currently widely discussed. 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.

Seniors' defination of the term "dignity"
CHUMLENOVÁ, Martina
My baccalaureate work deals with the interpretation and understanding of the concept of ``dignity{\crqq} by senior citizens. My research is focussed on the elderly living in homes for the aged. The objective of my work consists in monitoring the current evaluation of the above mentioned concept by senior citizens living in the Seniors Home Hvízdal and in the Seniors Home Máj, both based in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. The theoretical section of my work deals with the basic concepts related to old age, i. g. the biological and social, the psychological and spiritual aspects of old age. The issues of retirement planning, the concept of ageism, the relationship between a senior citizen and his or her family as well as between a senior citizen and society are discussed here. The theoretical section is also concerned with social care for the elderly, namely with homes for the aged, both in the general perspective and as related to the two aforementioned Homes for Senior Citizens Hvízdal and Máj. The last theoretical section includes the determination of the concept of human dignity and official documents related to human dignity protection. The practical section of my work is based on two hypotheses. Two working hypotheses have been outlined, both of which have been tested under the use of controlled questionnaires in both social care institutions. It has not been proved that the elderly living in these homes for senior citizens would evaluate the treatment of the staff as being in conflict with the clients´ dignity. The second hypothesis that most seniors do not know what the concept of ``dignity{\crqq} includes and represents has not been proved either. The research as outlined in the Abstract has served both for the purposes of my baccalaureate work and for the internal purposes and needs of the Seniors Home Hvízdal and the Seniors Home Máj.

Moral responsibility and nature of moral and ethics in the global world.
LÖFFELMANNOVÁ, Blanka
We can feel side effects of globalization primarily in the economic area, with far-reaching impact on further spheres of social life, including the level and perspectives of moral principles etc. We live in a society with the substantial feature of ambivalence when almost each social phenomenon and process is ambiguous. The theoretical part of the work defines the concepts like ethics, moral, their significance and role in the society in connection with the issue of globalization and describes some impacts of the globalization process on the society or environment. The information was ascertained with the help of the method of quantitative data collection through the data collection technique in form of anonymous questionnaire. The goal of the work was to ascertain the opinion of a selected population sample on the perspective of moral in progressing globalization of the world and, at the same time, to find out the awareness of the society on the issue of the globalization process. 75 students of the Faculty of Health and social Studies were addressed in form of the anonymous questionnaire and only 70 of them took part in the research. All the goals I had set at the beginning were successfully met. The results of the work can serve to inform broad and expert public on the displays of globalization in moral sphere and their acceptance or refusal by representative (or specific) sample of the society.

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.

Role of a senior in a family of the 21 century.
HOFBAUEROVÁ, Lenka
The family constitutes the background and security for everyone regardless of their age. At old age, the well-functioning family means security of psychical, physical and material aid. Moreover, the family develops activities of seniors, provides them with a number of opportunities and thus also strengthens their role in the society. One of negative social features is perception of the old generation as a useless and depending community. This social climate, negative for seniors, may be reflected somehow in the role held by them in the family. The theoretical part of the thesis addresses old age and its division, negative behaviour to seniors, a family as an institution and the role of seniors in a family. The respondents were seniors and their family members. The research was implemented in the form of the qualitatively quantitative data collection. The aim of the qualitative part was to ascertain how seniors characterize their role in the family and whether they are satisfied therewith. The objective of the quantitative research was to ascertain whether opinions of the other family members correspond to the opinions of seniors as far as the role of seniors in the family is concerned. Both objectives have been achieved. The research conclusions reflect how seniors perceive their role in the family and how their role is perceived by the other family members. Thus the conclusions may help workers providing health and social services and other persons understand importance and significance of the family background and teach them how to strengthen and positively influence the role of seniors in the family.
