Imaginations of catholic and non-believing girls about intimacy and its meaning in longterm relationships; case study of girls from Český Krumlov
Proboštová, Jana ; Martinová, Marta (advisor) ; Kotík, Michal (referee)
My bachelor's thesis is focused on qualitative research of attitude to forms of relationships of believing and non-believing girls. The text is an attempt to determine the meaning of intimacy for these two groups and the difference between them. In the part regarding theoretical bases is the accent put on introducing the problems of intimacy, love and sexuality in their conceptual frame and further are described some aspects of relationships between Catholics and non-believing part of contemporary Czech society. This part has an explanatory trait. The fundamental of my research is a hypothesis that with an assistance of questions, regarding ideas of both groups, I can determine how they see the meaning of intimacy and in what ways their approach differs. In analytic part is my work divided into several areas regarding components of my research - relationship, partner, family, physical relationship and reflexion of relationship between group of believing and non-believing girls. The difference of meaning of intimacy is defined on the basis of the first four categories. The fifth category stands independently and shows the image of the main problems that non-believing girls have with the catholic girls.

The evolution of the teaching led to many significantly different modifications and to current state, where these modifications coexist and make one single definition of the teaching very difficult. The perspective of embodiment allows me to focus more in detail on the healing praxis itself and its most important aspect - the body, which I see...
