Grünbergová, Lenka ; Sokolová, Věra (advisor) ; Kobová, Ĺubica (referee)
The diploma thesis is focused on the social aspects of women's oral hormonal contraception in the lives of two generations of women - daughters and their mothers. The theoretical part introduces the fundamental concepts of contraception research based on gender perspective.

The empirical part of this thesis includes the description of methodology and the analysis of semi-structured interviews with ten women - mothers who were born in the 1960s and their daughters born around the turn of the 80s and 90s.

I ask the reason why, when and under what conditions these women decided to use birth control pills and the role of other circumstances in their decision-making. Moreover, I focus on the way how the birth control pills affect the relationship to own body and self-esteem of my respondents. And also, how birth control pills affect...

The relationship between the mother and daughter and its cohesion with anorexia nervosa.
VOZÁRYOVÁ, Kateřina
In my bachelor thesis I am interested in relationships between mother and daughter who is diagnosed with mental anorexia. This eating disorder is serious problem nowadays, especially in teenage girls. It is very important to focus on causes of this disorder to reveal it's nature. Although most of the literature talks about socio-cultural view of female body and problematics of the ideals of beauty, I decided to go deeper in to the relationships inside the family. The main theme is linking anorexia with this relationship. In theoretical part of my thesis I describe eating disorders, their symptoms, causes and consequences. I was interested in relationships inside family and also influence of parents and their upbringing. Very important part of my thesis is description of characteristics in relationship between mother and daughter. It is qualitative-concipiated research of the relationship and it focuses on the subjective perception of the relation. I used semi-structured interviews with mother and daughter, and gathered informations was complemented with drawing materials. Interviews and drawings show that relations of the sick girls with their mothers are very close or very weak or ambivalent.
