Determinants of pro-environmental behavior among students
Kopecká, Lucie
This thesis deals with determinants of pro-environmental behaviour among students and graduates of Czech universities. According to many scientists from all over the world, humanity must change its behaviour towards the environment otherwise it may face catastrophic consequences of global warming. Unfriendly environmental behaviour is a significant contributor to climate change. On the basis of research on determinants of pro-environmental behaviour, it should be possible to identify which factors positively influence pro-environmental behaviour. Ultimately, it should be possible to establish methods that could encourage environmentally friendly behaviour. The primary aim of this thesis is to identify how selected determinants influence the pro-environmental behaviour of Czech university students and graduates. Based on these findings, recommendations for companies should be formulated in order to increase the pro-environmental behaviour of Czech university students and graduates. The secondary objective of this thesis is to determine whether business CSR activities influence students' job-seeking decisions and to establish recommendations for companies. This thesis first explains the theoretical background of pro-environmental behaviour and its determinants. The findings from this section are then applied in the practical part of this thesis, which involves the evaluation of a questionnaire survey with 232 valid respondents. The aim of this thesis was achieved by examining self-determination theory and social interaction theory concerning pro-environmental behaviour. Recommendations for businesses were developed to increase pro-environmental behaviour of students and graduates. Finally, areas and activities of corporate social responsibility were found, which influence the decision-making of the research subjects in their choice of employer. These results provide the basis for establishing recommendations for companies to increase their attractiveness in the labour market.

The problematics of the evolution of euthanasia and assisted suicide in the United States of America in relation to the development of global human rights
Kovalenko, Marija ; Raška, Francis (advisor) ; Sehnálková, Jana (referee)
My thesis addresses the question of how the issue of euthanasia and physician-assisted dying in the United States of America has been evolving in relation to the development of human rights. Taking a long-term view, arguments of the current debate on the issue of evaluation of both practices, euthanasia and physician-assisted dying has revealed the persistent controversial stance on moral justifications of ethics dissonance and the economic response. The point is to illustrate the scope of the dissociation by analyzing arguments and counter- arguments in relation to the question of the bilateral interweaving and interaction with respect for fundamental human rights and a synopsis of the ethics of dying that take into account the abuse of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. The interpretation of the development of the attitude of American society and the American medical diaspora has been reflected. In euthanasia and physician-assisted dying debates, analytical synopsis of the development of tolerance in American society in the context of rational choice in view of the economic, ethical, and religious assumptions and the possibility of an alternative option have been critically scrutinized. Given the ambiguous nature of ethical permissibility and legalization of euthanasia and assisted...

Bílý, Adam ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Faix, Martin (referee)
The creation of a state by way of separation (secession) from an existing state This thesis attempts to map the current theoretical approaches to state secession as well as explore the approach of international law to this issue. The thesis is split into two main parts. The first, theoretical part, consists of four chapters and covers the basic definition and other aspects of a state, like the elements of statehood, the creation of a state, theories of recognition of a state, de facto and de jure states, state succession in international law etc. Then it moves on to the introduction of the topic of secession itself. It offers multiple definitions of secession, divides secession into types, provides a brief history of secession and discusses concepts like the right of peoples to self-determination or the principle of territorial integrity. Then, the thesis covers a range of so-called explanatory theories of secession. Explanatory theories attempt to describe various elements that affect secession. The last chapter of the first part describes three so-called normative theories of secession. Normative theories, unlike explanatory theories, attempt to define under which circumstances a secession can be considered justifiable. The second part of the thesis is split into three chapters. Each chapter is a...

"Better Red than Dead": American Indians' Struggle for Sovereignty Rights in the 1960s and 1970s
Staňková, Olga ; Sehnálková, Jana (advisor) ; Kozák, Kryštof (referee)
In my thesis, I argue that the Native American activism of the 1960s and 1970s does not fall into the category of Civil Rights Movement because of its significantly different goals, and that the fundamentally different character of sovereignty rights also keeps the Indian struggle invisible in American understandings of U.S. political and social history. According to my analysis, the terms tribal sovereignty, self-determination, and treaty rights describe the ultimate goals of the Native American activists in the 1960s and 1970s the best. The decade between 1964 and 1974 witnessed the rise of radical Indian activism, which succeeded in reminding the general public and politicians that Indians are still present in the United States. Furthermore, it influenced a whole generation of Native Americans who found new pride in being Indian. However, this current of American activism is not known so well by the general U.S. public. This thesis will describe this state as "selective visibility" deriving from U.S. selective historical memory, only noticing and remembering those events and images concerning Native Americans that can be simply understood, somehow relate to the U.S. set of values, and fit in the national historical narrative.
