Táto bakalárska práca opisuje Eugeniku v Spojených Štátoch v rokoch 1880 až 1978. Cieľ tohto hnutia bol jasný; vylepšiť ľudskú rasu. Pôvodne to začalo pozitívne, a to podporou vzťahov medzi vhodnými ľuďmi. Avšak, po čase sa to vyvinulo do rasistickej vojny proti mentálne slabším a žiadaný výsledok bol prevážený sterilizovaním tisícok ľudí. Táto práca obsahuje objasnenie hnutia, jeho začiatky a hlavných predstaviteľov, popisuje inštitúcie, v ktorých boli obete väznené, hlavné udalosti hnutia, a taktiež sa sústreďuje na dôvody prečo hnutie nemohlo byť dlhodobo úspešné.
Annotation in English
This thesis focuses on the Eugenics movement in the United States from 1880 to 1978. The movement's aim was simple; to improve the human race. It originally started in a positive way, by supporting the breeding of the desirable ones. However, it eventually turned into a racial war against the feebleminded and the desired outcome of making a better population was overridden by sterilizing thousands of people. This work contains a brief clarification of the movement, its origins and main leaders, it describes the institutions in which the victims were held in, the main events of the movement, and it also explains the reasons why the movement could not be successful in the long run.
