The analysis of the influence bourgeois bohemians on american society
Čech, Dominik ; Kýrová, Lucie (advisor) ; Pondělíček, Jiří (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the influence of social class, the so-called bourgeois bohemians on American society. The time scope of this work is mainly the turn of the twenty-first century and ends with the economic crisis of 2007. On the background of the transforamtion of modern societies into postmodern, which are characterized by heterogeneity and variability of life attitudes and in which individuality, its behaviour, a values are constantly less determined by class, American author indetified new "upper", class, which represents a new establishment. This thesis presents an introduction and definition of the so-called Bobos class and its categorisation within the context of American society, based mainly on socio-economic factors. This thesis also presents an analysis of the influence of this class on American society. I seek to answer three main question: In what way did can bobos formulated the form of American society? How much they are responsible for the yet more increasing inequality in American society? Are bobos truly "alternative capitalists"?

These questions are examined twice, in 2001 and in late 2011 and 2012, so we can observe development of these two lifestyles in terms of Ingelhart's transition theory from materialist to post-materialist values . The thesis shows that we can find a group of people professing the whole set of yuppie atittudes and also a group that is with some reservations similar to bobos. Detected high rate of closeness of both lifestyles, however, leads to a redefinition of purely materialistic yuppies for the Czech environment and to identification of yuppie lifestyle with post-materialist consciousness. Bobos are permanently characterized only by university education, pos-materialistic yuppies also by the highest personal income and household income. Number of post-materialist yuppies is more than twice bigger than bobos, during the...
