TOPIC: Teachers of Sexual Education and Their Level of Comfort when Teaching Individual Topics AUTHOR: Martin Kubice DEPARTMENT: Katedra pedagogiky, Pedagogická fakulta Univerzity Karlovy THESIS MENTOR: PhDr. Alena Thorovská ABSTRACT: This bachelor's thesis deals with the level of comfort experienced by sexual education teachers when discussing various topics. The theoretical part of the thesis defines sexual education and its approaches within the Czech Republic. The approach in the Czech Republic is further examined in comparison to the approach to sex education in the United States and Sweden. The thesis also explores the topics of taboo and intimacy, which are essential for understanding the risks and successes of sex education in today's society. In the final stage of the theoretical part, sex education is divided into twelve topics. Each topic includes the expected content in teaching and its integration into the curriculum.

"Du has(s)t mich (gefragt) …" Human primal fears and their literary implementation in lyrics of the band ,Rammstein'
Pecková, Adéla ; Blahak, Boris (advisor) ; Tvrdík, Milan (referee)
A fitting citation from the name of this thesis contains one of the most well known plays on words of the German band Rammstein, which engages socially taboo topics in its lyrics and thus evokes human primal fears. The goal of this thesis is a literary analysis of selected lyrics with a regard to the related controversial topics. Controversial topics often reflect human weaknesses. This thesis focuses on their literary implementation in lyrics (irony, plays on words and rhetorical and stylistic tools) with a consideration of the accompanying music. Based on the insight gained, the important question is: why has the band Rammstein become a phenomenon of the present time all over the world and why are its lyrics subjects of discussion. The provocation certainly has its roots in the origin of the members of the band, who come from the former DDR, where they did not have the opportunity to openly comment controversial topics.

Sládečka, Dušan ; Kolinská, Klára (advisor) ; Jindra, Miroslav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to discuss the place of visible Sikh religious symbols in Canadian public life, and their ensuing controversies. These will illustrate the complexity of resolving the issues of cultural and religious conflict in the Canadian multicultural society. The analysis of the lines of argument behind the chosen court decisions will be central for the purposes of this paper. The debate offers valuable insight into the political process of policy- making and accommodating diversity in Canada. The Sikh articles of faith, commonly referred to as the "5Ks" are an indispensable part of life for the people practicing the Sikh religion. However, by applying these religious beliefs in their everyday life, the Sikh Canadians often find themselves in conflict with some of the Canadian laws and regulations The most problematic articles are the kesh (unshorn hair covered at all times by a specific kind of turban or cloth) and the kirpan (a stylized representation of a sword, which must be enclosed in a protective covering and worn next to the body).
