Course content
|
Content of the Thematic Block One of the missions of religious organisations in society is to address current ethical issues and contribute to shaping public discourse. For this reason, the course constitutes an integral part of the study curriculum. The lecture blocks within the course will focus on: questions of justice in society; environmental protection; ethical issues at the beginning and end of human life; transformations of family life in contemporary society; gender theories; birth control; controversial means of ensuring security in society (torture and the death penalty); research ethics. Lectures will be delivered both through regular lecture blocks led by the course coordinator and through guest lectures by Czech and international specialists invited as part of the internationalisation of the course. Seminar topics will follow the themes addressed in the lectures, focusing on specific problems and the debates they generate in society. Seminars will employ a variety of teaching formats, including seminar workshops, panel discussions, focus groups, and the study and presentation of specific topics in traditional seminar classes. Selected seminars will also be led by the course coordinator or invited lecturers. Practical Classes As part of the course, students will individually develop a selected topic from the issues discussed using an appropriate media format, such as: written text; audio; multimedia; a website; a blog; a graphic presentation; video; or another suitable form of media communication. Students will submit the selected topic as an individual project, including a thematic and communication analysis and a list of sources used. In addition, students will prepare a communication and content analysis of a project produced by a randomly selected fellow student. Topics of Methodological Seminars Communication in the Age of Multimedia Practical classes will be conducted in the form of workshops.

Objectives of the Thematic Block As part of the course, students will acquire: basic knowledge of selected issues in current public discourse; the ability to identify, update, reflect on, and interpret knowledge concerning current issues in public discourse; the ability to apply ethical principles and cultural paradigms when studying and interpreting knowledge related to current issues in public discourse; the ability to process and communicate critically reflected topics through various forms of media communication; the ability to defend the chosen interpretative approach and model when developing and presenting topics through the media, in accordance with ethical principles and with respect for cultural diversity.
Competences (LOUIS) Inquiry and Analysis The thematic block develops students' ability to independently identify, update, interpret, and critically process information concerning current social and ethical issues. Upon successful completion of the course, the student: identifies, verifies, and critically evaluates relevant scholarly and publicly available sources; analyses current social issues from different perspectives; interprets acquired knowledge with regard to its social, ethical, and cultural contexts; formulates conclusions supported by scholarly evidence and defends the chosen interpretative approach. Ethical Reasoning Ethical reflection is a fundamental element of the entire thematic block. Students apply ethical principles to specific social issues, including justice, environmental protection, questions concerning the beginning and end of human life, family, gender, the death penalty, torture, and research ethics. Upon successful completion of the course, the student: identifies ethical issues and value conflicts in current public discourse; applies relevant ethical principles and modes of argumentation to specific social questions; compares different ethical approaches and value perspectives; defends their own position while respecting differing opinions and cultural contexts. Communication This competence is particularly important for the course because students not only analyse social issues but also independently process and communicate them through various media formats, including written texts, audio, video, multimedia, websites, blogs, and graphic presentations. Upon successful completion of the course, the student: adapts the content and form of communication to a particular medium and target audience; develops a current social or ethical topic using an appropriate media format; clearly presents and defends the chosen content and communication strategy.
