The main reason for my research is my long-term personal interests in the fields of law which are covered by the First Amendment. The thesis is composed of an introduction, six chapters and a conclusion. The study begins with the introduction where it is discussed methodology, my motives for choosing this topic, importance of the topic and potential contribution of this thesis to the Czech legal science. Chapter One examines historical roots of the First Amendment's rights and freedoms. It focuses on their development both in the England and in its American colonies. It tries to find main tendencies contributing to reasons for adopting rights and freedoms embodied in the First Amendment.

Public Perceptions of the Separation of Church and StateFoster, Donald 31 October 2008 (has links)
Much of the scholarly work in the area of the separation of church and state in America has centered on such lofty goals as examining the Constitution of the United States and voluminous court documents. Others meticulously scrutinize every word ever uttered by the founding fathers on the subject. During the last two decades, there has been a considerable increase in the debate concerning the separation of church and state. The religious right has become determined to infuse our governmental institutions with a decidedly more religious tone, while the religious left prefers the separation of church and state as it is. But how does the average American feel about the separation of church and state?
This project will examine our religious heritage from Europe and the development of the separation of church and state in America. Finally this project conducted surveys of Americans to determine just how much they know about how the separation of church developed in America and perhaps more importantly what they believe it should be. Two separate surveys totaling 19 questions were developed. The questions probed historical facts, the founding fathers and questions regarding the separation of church and state today. The surveys were conducted in Manatee County, Florida during the spring of 2008 and again in late August and early September, 2008. The survey respondents were made up of 4 distinct groups. Those respondents surveyed in Spring 2008 were in-class college students in the University of South Florida at Sarasota/Manatee. Two other groups were made up of high school graduates and college graduates who work for the Manatee and Sarasota District schools. The final group was surveyed during a multi family picnic on Labor Day weekend.
The results of the surveys were tabulated and the respondents were placed in groups according to 2 questions on the back of the surveys that asked the respondents to give their political party affiliation and their religious denomination.

The Implementation of the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act: New Jersey High School Educators' PerceptionsZaremba, Stacey 01 January 2017 (has links)
New Jersey's high school teachers have many responsibilities to their students: they must educate them, work to mold their strength of character, and protect them from harming each other. The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (ABR), legally fortified these goals by protecting students from harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB), at the state level. Previous research has indicated that incident rates for these negative behaviors are growing globally. This reality has driven the need for intervention and prevention programming; however, few instances of successful implementation exist. An important gap remains in the current literature, as there is still a need to understand the teachers' perceptions of their role as the frontline defenders of anti-bullying policies. The primary area of focus for this qualitative study was on the challenges and supports encountered by teachers responsible for implementing their high school's anti-bullying program. Information was gathered using a phenomenological design through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews of 12 high school educators from three unique school districts. Lived experiences were interpreted using Espelage and Swearer's social-ecological system framework and Darley and Latané's bystander theory framework. The findings from this study gave voice to those responsible for implementing the ABR. Significant findings included policies that require reactive interactions with students where proactive measures would have been preferred, a lack of top-down communication, and ineffective prevention and intervention program training materials. An impetus for implementing policy change was established, and the potential for social change was welcomed through a move toward proactive measures in the school setting.

Die grondwetlike beskerming van sosio-ekonomiese regte in Suid-Afrika : 'n teologies-etiese perspektief / Heinrich Martin ZwemstraZwemstra, Heinrich Martin January 2003 (has links)
On legal-philosophical grounds the constitutional protection of socio-economic rights
has been the subject of much debate. The question is whether socio-economical rights
should be protected by a constitution and, if so, to what extent. In this study a
theological-ethical evaluation is done about socio-economical rights and the
protection thereof. This is done by examining certain Biblical themes and parts of
Scripture of the Old and New Testament. From this investigation it is clear that socioeconomical
rights are very important human rights that must be protected as
effectively as possible.
Several points of view on the constitutional protection of socio-economical rights are
investigated and evaluated. These points of view are based on legal-philosophical
grounds and argue respectively against the constitutional protection of socioeconomical
rights, the protection of socio-economical rights as directive principles
and the protection of socio-economical rights as fundamental rights. From this
investigation it is clear that in principle the constitutional protection of socioeconomical
rights as fundamental rights is the most effective way to protect these
rights.
The current state of affairs with regard to socio-economical rights in the Constitution
of South-Africa is also investigated and evaluated. From this investigation it is clear
that the Constitution does protect certain socio-economic rights, but not all of them.
The rights to labour, clothing and scientific progress do not occur in the Constitution.
In principle the right to labour is a very important socio-economic right and it leads to
the realization of other socio-economic rights. The Constitution of South Africa also
has several measures in place to ensure the protection of socio-economic rights. In
spite of these measures, the socio-economic rights in the Constitution remain little
more than rights on paper. There state, private sector, church and each individual will
still have to do a lot to ensure the protection of socio-economic rights in South-Africa. / Thesis (M.Th. (Ethics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

The role of brain dominance in the maintenance of learner discipline / Raché M. RutherfordRutherford, Raché January 2006 (has links)
The role of brain dominance in the maintenance of learner discipline
Recent research in especially Education Law has shown that maintaining
discipline in South African schools constitutes a problem for many educators.
Research over the last few decades has also indicated a strong link between
brain dominance and behaviour. The aim of this research was to establish to
what extent the brain dominance of learners and educators influence their
attitude towards and perceptions of the implementation of schools' codes of
conduct and their resulting behaviour in class. Educators' response to indiscipline
was studied against the backdrop of the Constitution, and more specifically the
Bill of Rights, as well as other legislation pertaining to learner discipline.
The findings revealed a strong link between brain dominance and the behaviour
and attitudes of learners and. educators regarding school discipline. It is
therefore suggested that the code of conduct should be developed with input
from learners and educators from all four quadrants of the brain. Where possible,
a measure of flexibility should be included in these documents in the form of
incentives for good behaviour and by using discretion when implementing the
code of conduct. The insight of educators and learners into the implications of
brain dominance was also found to be crucial. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

A creativity development model to enhance educator security : a labour law perspective / Raché M. RutherfordRutherford, Raché January 2009 (has links)
World-wide research has shown that educators are suffering physical as well as psychological symptoms because of their experiences in their school environment. A large body of legislation, including the Bill of Rights, general and education legislation protect the rights of educators to working conditions which are safe and healthy. It seems clear from the literature that protecting the security of the educator implies the inclusion of psychological security. One of the aims of this research was to establish to what extent legislation succeeds in protecting the psychological security of educators at school. The study showed that although a large body of legislation exists, a lacuna exists in the application of this legislation. Furthermore, the research showed that educators are not experiencing this protection in actuality, are suffering several stress symptoms and are generally not aware of the rights which should protect them. The findings revealed that learner discipline and work overload were experienced as the main causes of psychological insecurity for participating educators.
During the research it was investigated whether the development of creative skills could enhance the ability of educators to cope with the psychological insecurities in their workplace. Further aims of the study were to design a theoretical creativity development model and to determine the characteristics of an effective programme to enhance workplace psychological security in education. The literature and findings revealed that creativity programmes which could inter alia enhance attitude and general health should include aspects such as problem solving processes, the development of positive attitudes and the enhancement of the psychological work environment. The study also includes the design of a creativity programme which can be applied in the participating and similar schools in order to develop creativity skills which may be able to assist educators to cope more effectively in their work environment. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.
