Last Testament Church in the Conflict with Surrounding Society
Ludvík, Jakub ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Štampach, Ivan (referee)
Tato diplomová práce se zabývá konfliktem mezi ruským novým náboženským hnutím církve Posledního zákona a většinovou společností. V textu byla využita osmi bodová rámcová koncepce rovin konfliktů mezi novými náboženskými hnutími a obklopující společností, kterou původně vypracoval Zdeněk Vojtíšek. Tento koncept zde byl doplněn o jednu novou úroveň napětí, tedy o konflikt mezi samotnými novými náboženskými společenstvími. Základní cíl práce byl naplněn. Tím bylo popsání rovin napětí z obou stran jeho účastníků, tedy ze strany vissarionitů i většinové společnosti. K pohledu zástupců hnutí nám zde dopomohly hloubkové rozhovory se samotnými členy tohoto ruského společenství. V textu se také podařilo ověřit funkčnost a použitelnost zmíněného konceptu Zdeňka Vojtíška. Práce byla také doplněna o analytické závěry a předpoklady dalšího vývoje života hnutí.

Brainwashing and New religious movements
Madarová, Sara ; Vojtíšek, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Kostičová, Zuzana (referee)
My diploma thesis, called "The new religious movements and brainwashing", could be divided into two imaginary units. The first one is more general but technical. This part analyzes the term brainwashing as a whole, from a different point of views. The term brainwashing appears throughout the whole paper; from its formation, across the development, until its usage in everyday life. This contains the usage in media, advertising, and other spheres. This chapter should point out the importance of this topic, which is often forgotten. The second part of the thesis aims to contrast the book by Ted Patrick and Tom Dulack, which describes the term deprogramming. This term was allegedly invented for the new religious movement practices and brainwashing purposes. This chapter outlines the Ted's Patrick stances and gives an impartial reaction on it. The third part of the thesis is more of a narrative. It gives a fundamental explanation and typology of new religious movements, which connects the previous two parts. The following chapter clarifies the opposition theories. Nonetheless, it focuses on the anti-cult movements, but also the perception of media, the majority society, or a role of the state. This part of the thesis is vital in order to take a stand on the brainwashing itself. Its careless usage is an...

U.S. and Canadian Anabaptist Communities' Interaction with Majority Society
Kolářová, Kristýna ; Calda, Miloš (advisor) ; Pondělíček, Jiří (referee)
The subject of this bachelor thesis is the interaction of Anabaptist communities with the majority society. For this purpose the paper focuses on the three largest communities in the United States of America and Canada - the Old Order Amish, the Old Order Mennonites and the Hutterites. These communities have the same origin in the sixteenth century reformation but they differ in many aspects. This paper will address particularly the interaction with the society, as the communities are advocates of isolation from the corrupted outside world. However, complete isolation is unrealistic, therefore the thesis examines in what areas of life the interaction occurs and at what level. Those are the main questions that this thesis seeks to answer. For a better display of the interaction in different areas of life, the main part of the paper is divided into four chapters pursuant to the areas in which interaction occurs the most according to the author. In each chapter the given communities are compared. The results of the research are evaluated in the conclusion. They include the fact that the Hutterites live in the greatest physical isolation because they are isolated geographically. That allows them to loosen the rules inside the colonies, like for example with technology and education. The highest level...

Problems of integration of Roma minority
JAROŠOVÁ, Markéta
This Bachelor thesis deals with the negative trends the Roma minority is facing. The theoretical part introduces the problems of the majority of Roma people in the Czech Republic especially in the areas of employment, housing, education, social services and socio-patological phenomena. The main focus is on the integration strategy. The practical side surveys the personal experience of chosen respondents in the above defined areas, which prevent a successful integration. The conclusion confronts the results of my research with the strategies, which could start positive changes leading to a gradual elimination of differences, tensions and misunderstanding between the Roma population and the majority of society.
