The first chapter gives a general overview of the policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in the field of mass media and is divided into three parts: after the Second World War, after the communist putsch in February 1948 and after the invasion by armies of the Soviet Block in August 1968. To better understand the situation of the church in that period of time it was necessary to include a chapter that outlines the general context of the way in which the Communist Party perceived and understood the church and religion as such, and therefore the second chapter offers a short introduction to the 'church policy' of the Communist Party.

Social work and necessity of a united professional association seen through gender policy
BLÁHOVÁ, Lucie
The thesis deals with social work and its current situation. The work focuses on the reflection of the gender issues in social work. The introductory part is devoted to the public and the private sphere and the way how it was set in the society and to the consequences for men and women. The next part briefly introduces the history of the social work as a domain of women and the church, which reflected/did not reflect the social revolutions, development and changes that have happened in our society up to the present day. The second part of the work points to the uncrystallization and fragmentation of social work, difficult self-definition/identification of male and female social workers as a result of the post-modern society code and the gender contract. The thesis subsequently compares the problems of social work and women´s associations and finds the solution in the implementation of a united professional association.

Etical Aspects of Euthanasia
NOVÁKOVÁ, Alžběta
I chose the topic "euthanasia" because of its actuality, obscurity and complexity. There are many definitions, opinions, suggestions etc. concerning euthanasia. The main task of this work is explanation of the meaning of the term "euthanasia". In the theoretical part the work deals with the definition and forms of euthanasia. If possibilities of medical cure is exhausted, there are also lenitive and hospice care. That's why I deal with these topics too in my work. In the historical part of the work I study history of the problem: especially in Antiquity, in the Modernity, and in the time of Nazi Regime in Germany. In this context I considered the modern ethical theory -- utilitarianism and its main proponents. Very interesting and important question is the relationship of religion to the problem of euthanasia. That's why I studied some document of the Catholic Church concerning euthanasia. It is not possible to omit arguments of both defenders of euthanasia and its opponents. Very important chapter is legislation -- in Czech Republic and in some countries in Europe, where some experiences with euthanasia exist. The final part of the work is the discussion to the topic and especially one particular case.
