The importance of spirituality in social work
ZEJDOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor's thesis is dealing with the meaning of Christian spirituality in the context of social work. Emphasis is put on Christianity on which the charity social work is based on. The aim of this thesis is to highlight the meaning of Christian spirituality in social work and to show the correlation between these two components. The way this form of spirituality is functioning when applied on the process of help will be based on the chosen literature and I will also be finding out whether social work can build its meaning on Christian spirituality. Based on considerable correlations I will show how exactly does Christian spirituality benefit the motivation (to practice this service) of social workers and how social workers can work with their clients' spirituality. Next, I will deal with the lives and accomplishments of female saints, namely Agnes of Bohemia and Mother Theresa. Due to their Christian faith, both women devoted their lives to Jesus Christ and helping of the poor and needy.

The Intergenerational Family Solidarity Eyes of Social work Students
TUŠEROVÁ, Tereza
This graduate thesis deals with the issue of intergenerational family solidarity through the eyes of social work students. The main goal is todescribe the attitudes of social work students in regard to intergenerational family coexistence. Relationships between seniors and young people are influenced by mutual interaction, personal experience, family background and other factors. The topic of interpersonal relationships concerns each of us, not only students of social work, for the cornerstone of the younger generation's attitude towards seniors is formed by the family, from which the aforementioned intergenerational family solidarity arises. This work focuses on the relationship with and attitude towardsthese issues from the perspective of students of social work, in which they work with theassumption of social feelings, and not only those of seniors. The work consists of theoretical and research sections. The theoretical part of the work consists of several areas. It deals with a selected period of human age, and addresses the topic of work in relation to adulthood, old age, and the demographic curve. It then describesformal care for the elderly, services intended for this target group andanyfinancial support related to their care. The third section describesthe informal caregiver. The penultimate areafocuses on the topic of intergenerational solidarity, and the end of the theoretical partconcerns the titleof the graduate thesis itself, and that is the social work student. For the research partof the thesis, qualitative research, the method of questioning and the technique of semi-structured interview were chosen. Interviews were conducted with social work students and were focused on several areas. The main research question was: "How do social work students perceive intergenerational coexistence in one household?" It was further divided into several subquestions. The research itself took place in stages, the first being pre-research and only thereafter was the research itself conducted. All interviews were recorded and literally transcribed. The information obtained was processed by the method of creating groups based on certain similarities, and the resulting data were structured according to individual sub-questions. The research showed that social work students perceive coexistence with older family members in one household as a natural development of their family orfamily situation. They consider it natural behavior within the family, behaviorwherein members approach each otherwith love, respect and understanding. They wish to continue to care for their loved ones in a family circle with minimal or no use of social services for the elderly. Social work students agree that studying this field has brought them a wealth of information that will make life easier for them as a family, and incaring for aging members of their family, but also agree that the study did not affect their view and attitude towards intergenerational cohabitation. Intergenerational coexistence provides them and other members of the household with one important need, namely "not being alone." The results can also serve social work students who deal with theseissues. Furthermore, this graduate thesis can also be used by the general public to obtain information about intergenerational family cohabitation.

Initiative Food Not Bombs in Relation to Homeless People
ČESKÁ, Jana
This bachelor's thesis is focused on the initiative Food Not Bombs and its relation to homeless people. The aim of the work was to describe the inner workings of the Food Not Bombs initiative in the Czech Republic and to reflect on the activists in contact with homeless people. Food Not Bombs is a global initiative highlighting inequalities in society through free food distribution. The theoretical part defines the basic concepts related to homelessness, including social services, approaches to social work with this demographic and the current state of affairs. Furthermore, the history of the initiative Food Not Bombs, its operational principles and follow-up activities are presented. The empirical part of the work contains research using the qualitative research strategy and questioning method. Data collection was performed using a semi-structured interviews. The research group consists of eleven informants from the eight cities in the Czech Republic in which the groups operate. The obtained data was converted into text form and subsequently analyzed using open coding and categorization. Based on this analysis, research questions were answered. They aimed to identify differences in the activities of individual teams and how activists perceive homeless people. Several differences were identified between groups from different cities. However, these were not fundamental differences and it can be concluded that the groups agree more than not. Activists perceive the homeless as excluded from society and suffering from material deprivation, often due to the unfair distribution of resources. They endeavor to perceive homelessness as a problem without blaming individual people for it. The groups are characterized by giving equal access to the hungry and striving to help and support everyone without distinction. The work may serve to raise awareness of the initiative's activities and contribute to changing the passive or negative public attitude towards the homeless.

Social Ethical Aspects of Welfare State
GALÍKOVÁ, Alice
Diploma paper is considering social ethical aspects of Welfare State. In the introduction is characterized Welfare State, it´s history, attitudes to it and the elementary typology of social state. The main part of the paper is divided into three parts - human being, family and state in relation to social state. Each chapter consists of describing part and social ethical critic of Welfare State effect, which was the aim of paper. From all three angles on that issue it appears that negative influence of contemporary (that means overinflated) is dominant. First of all it´s loss of responsibility for persnons own life, loss of motivation to work, own initiative and creativity and creating dependence on social benefits. There is obvious fundamental negative effect on family functionality, which social roles was mostly taken by state. Constant increasing of social benefits outgoings in exchange for political support of left-wing parties appears as destructive. This fact could eventually endanger democratic growth of state.

NATO and the EU's strategic communication's cohesion from the perspective of the ritual model
Dušková, Lenka ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee)
At the core of this master thesis lies the cohesion of NATO and the EU's strategic communication. The cohesion is researched in the context of both institutions' reactions to hybrid threats from quantitative and qualitative points of view. The thesis observes communication's cohesion within the realm of NATO and the EU's responses to the annexation of Crimea and subsequent war in Ukraine, the Skripals' poisoning, and the instrumentalization of migration by the Belarusian regime. What precedes the empirical part is a summary of current academic debates about the concept of strategic communication and also the description of NATO and the EU's communication systems. The analysis then builds on the extensive dataset of NATO and the EU's event-related messages. The intrainstitutional and interinstitutional cohesion is assessed based on the frequencies and timing of the messages in the above- mentioned cases. The subsequent qualitative analysis draws on Carey's proposed ritual view of communication. It further analyzes whether the content of NATO and the EU's strategic communication reflects their core values, threat perception, narratives about expected appropriate behavior, visioning, and whether it refers to the common historical experience, stimulates a shared view of reality, and explicitly...
