Socialistic complaints as an instrument of governance and remedy - Beroun district in the second half of the 80s.
Olbertová, Lenka ; Kabele, Jiří (advisor) ; Tuček, Milan (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with finding an answer to how socialistic complaints worked as an instrument of remedy and also as an instrument of governance. It proceeds from the theory of Albert O. Hirschman that explains strategies of solution in the area of firms, organizations and states and that also includes complaining. The other theoretical sources are the theory of bureaucratic organizations of Michel Crozier and Michel Foucault's conception of power and discipline. The issues of complaining are put into period context in the diploma thesis and it is supplemented about a brief elucidation of ruling manners considering the district level. The empirical part is based on qualitative and quantitative content analysis of complaints that were solved by the leading secretary at the District Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in Beroun from 1985 till 1989. It is not only focused on a survey of complaints but also interprets the procedures of solving that are related to the chosen theoretical findings. The thesis also explains the relationship between the communist party and its critics with their objections and the relationship between the party and people that were criticized in the complaints.

Olbertová, Lenka ; Balon, Jan (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The Consumption in Contemporary Society and the Influence of Ostentation" tries to find out whether the consumption is conspicuous or is not. It is based on the theory of postponed consumption by Max Weber and Daniel Bell and on the theory of conspicuous consumption by Thorstein Veblen. The bachelor's thesis focuses on the approach to consumerism and the influences that shape the consumption. It describes the power of money and the relationship to debts and the mass media and advertising are also mentioned. The mass media helps to shape the social reality and brings advertising. It creates image of brands. The work does not omit the contemporary types of consumption which are impressed with the ostentation both in positive or negative way. It is conspicuous unconsupmtion defined by David Brooks. It helps to develop the ecological and ethical consumption which are practised by the middle classes. The inconspicuous consumtion by Sullivan and Gershuny is close to conspicuous consumption and it is often presented as the example of consumption of nouveax riches who try to imitate the "old families" ostentatiously.
