Family ideal and real: the change of the image of the family in selected works of Mexican American authors
Sládková, Magdalena ; Kolinská, Klára (referee) ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor)
The fact that in the twenty-first century Latinos became the largest ethnic minority in the United States is inevitably mentioned in any recent publication on Latino population in the U.S. l People of Mexican origin form the largest percentage of the Latino group, 58%, according to the 2000 U.S. census.2 Mexican Americans have a long history of settling in the United States, nevertheless, their disadvantaged position in the American society is evident. They are usually located among the working-class, have low income, and also low educational attainment. Some social scientists, whose works will be mentioned in this thesis, believe that it is the Mexican American culture that prevents this population from success; others attribute it to discrimination and negative stereotypes of Mexicans that are perpetuated in the American society. In the 1960s and 1970s the Mexican American civil rights movement, known as the Chicano Movement, decided to end the discrimination and other social problems by supporting Mexican American nationalism. One of the ways to increase their national pride was to point at the Mexican American family as a source of strength and a symbol of unity of all Mexicans in the United States.

Šťastný, Martin ; Burgerová, Jiřina (advisor) ; Řežábek, Pavel (referee)
At the beginning of my work I will try to explore the theoretical part, as what are the consequences of a financial crisis on state economy and how to respond to them using disponible tools of fiscal and monetary policy so that the impact is as acceptable as possible. The aim of my essay is an analysis and comparison of the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policy on the reduction of the impact of the financial crisis and what is their effect on the growth of GDP, development of inflation, employment and other macroeconomic indicators. The question is basically how to restart the economic growth and how to achieve it. I will also explore the possible non-acceptance of any precautions. I will try to find the optimal consensus between fiscal and monetary policy and their right setup in comparison of the USA and other European states, where each country's government has accepted certain precautions through fiscal and monetary policy.

Character and significance of discovery voyages in the era of Elizabeth I
Marková, Veronika ; Kovář, Martin (referee) ; Skřivan, Aleš (advisor)
The English Queen Elizabeth I supported naval exploration. English voyages overseas differed in character according to their destinations. At first, voyages northward had been pure voyages of discovery aimed at finding a northwest passage. Only later on, they also became voyages of colonization. The closer the English colonists approached Florida, which was under Spanish rule, the more danger they faced. Voyages southward had always been voyages of piracy as South America belonged to the Portuguese and Spanish spheres of influence. The character of English naval voyages was also determined by the geographical location of the British Isles. For the English, finding a northwest or a northeast passage would have been very profitable. In the forty years of the reign of Elizabeth I, England evolved into a naval power that could challenge Spanish and Portuguese domination in the New World.
