The influence of veganism on the social life of an individual
Hlavová, Karla ; Orcígr, Václav (advisor) ; Senft, Lukáš (referee)
In this bachelor's thesis, as the name suggests, I deal with the issue of veganism and its subsequent reflection in the social lives of respondents (family, friends, partners, unpleasant situations). I research and clarify life situations that involve a variety of lifestyles and ways of eating. The individual work is divided into the three following parts: the theoretical anchoring of the researched problem, the methodology used and the subsequent research part. In the introductory, theoretical part, I use various concepts to understand veganism from a sociological perspective. In the second, methodological part of the work, I focus on the quantitative exploratory method, data collection, which I obtained through an online questionnaire and a description of the research file. The last, final part is the presentation and interpretation of the obtained results and the conclusions drawn from them. The work brings results confirming the existence of the influence of veganism on the social life of the individual, in each of the mentioned dimensions. The influence occurs mainly in the area of family background, where respondents are most often exposed to prejudice and pressure. The influence of veganism is also felt by the respondents within their social circle, partnerships (eg when choosing a partner)...

Environmental Education in the Czech Republic with Reference to Scouting Experience
Musilová, Markéta ; Zvěřinová, Iva (advisor) ; Duffková, Jana (referee)
The aim of this paper is to highlight the concept of environmental education as a strategy to support pro-environmental behaviour. Paper connects environmental education with Scouting and suggests their possible closer cooperation. It tries to support this connection by mapping work scoutmasters with nature. The research was carried out using qualitative method of "Understanding interview". The interviews were conducted with scoutmasters of girls and boys troops. Thanks to different variables of the observed units, such as the practices in the country or in a major city, it shows a number of different circumstances. Research suggests a different work with nature in urban and rural sections and also some gender differences. Interviews and observation also revealed some findings related to contemporary changes like working with technology, higher demands on education of children and also worries of parents. Besides analysing the differences, is the research deals also with reflection of scoutmasters on the topic of pro-environmental behaviour within scout centres and troops. These all findings may serve as a feedback for the environmental department of Scouting and for those who would try to support environmental education in "Junák".
