Kolišová, Anna ; Dianová, Markéta (advisor) ; Černá, Jitka (referee)
The Diploma thesis on "The Significance of Public, Cultural and Economic Diplomacy in Terms of Czech-Korean Bilateral Relations" is dedicated to the both official and informal relations between the two countries, the Czech Republic and the Republic of Korea. At first, the author focuses on the history of international relations and defines all related factors. This is followed by a comprehensive definition of each of the types of state diplomacy. The Thesis is also expanded by selected methods that enable to assess the overall perception of countries by the rest of the world. The primary objective of the thesis are Czech-Korean bilateral relations in the historical as well as contemporary context. Their development has certainly undergone significant changes within the last 25 years. The mutual relations are defined by strong differences, but also by surprisingly analogous aspects in the historical, political, cultural or economic fields. It can be assumed that the interfaces encourage further cooperation between the government, the business community and the public, too, creating productive and strategic partnerships with the impact on national economy.

Intercultural Communication and Cooperation in the Context of the Czech – Spanish Business Environment
Straková, Barbora ; Nový, Ivan (advisor) ; Dědina, Jiří (referee) ; Castillo, David Andrés (referee)
The main aim of this dissertation thesis is to explore a different view and contribute to the research in the area of the intercultural communication and cooperation. In this thesis we are trying to examine two different cultures from the point of view of the cultural standards. To be able to gain a comparable and trustful outcome, the research was conducted on a specific group of Czech and Spanish business managers and employees. The main common characteristic of the members of this specific group was determined based on at least half a year of interactive communication within Czech -- Spanish international cooperation. Given the current situation of the increasing globalization process, compounded by integrating cultures, we believe that the above mentioned topic is highly valuable for daily management skills and employees' relations. We find it very important to pay more attention and give more thought to this issue, as the correct communication is one of key means to successful business management and cooperation. It is obvious that misunderstandings in communication and cooperation within the managing teams might lead to fatal breakdowns. It is no longer possible to overlook the strong influence of the globalization process. This fact should be taken into a serious consideration by leaders of the universities and multicultural companies. This should be followed by the integration of new management methods corresponding to the changes and new influences in multicultural entities. With respect to the structure and wide range of the changes brought into the companies by the globalization process, it was a real challenge to fulfill the goals of this dissertation thesis based on the realized qualitative examination research. An important output of this research is the identification of key differences within the above specified tested group. These differences arise from specific thinking and behavior which lead to different attitudes in regards to managing both life situations and a professional career. Based on these findings, we suggest classifying the Czechs and the Spanish into particular existing theoretical models. Good understanding of the key differences coupled with the theoretical knowledge allows us to suggest some suitable recommendation, tips and tricks for a better mutual communication among Czech and Spanish managers and employees on both professional and personal levels.

Social work and necessity of a united professional association seen through gender policy
BLÁHOVÁ, Lucie
The thesis deals with social work and its current situation. The work focuses on the reflection of the gender issues in social work. The introductory part is devoted to the public and the private sphere and the way how it was set in the society and to the consequences for men and women. The next part briefly introduces the history of the social work as a domain of women and the church, which reflected/did not reflect the social revolutions, development and changes that have happened in our society up to the present day. The second part of the work points to the uncrystallization and fragmentation of social work, difficult self-definition/identification of male and female social workers as a result of the post-modern society code and the gender contract. The thesis subsequently compares the problems of social work and women´s associations and finds the solution in the implementation of a united professional association.

Symbols of exclusion from society in folk tradition
JUŘICOVÁ, Iveta
The dissertation titled Symbols of exclusion from society in folk tradition concentrates on the interaction of symbols and folk tradition. It explores the way the phenomenon of love and death is traditionally viewed in the Czech country, namely during the Middle Ages and modern times. The main focus of this dissertation is on the social roles of women, although it also shows proof of social exclusion of a man as an executioner. To demonstrate the reasons behind excluding individuals on the outskirts of society, the author also gives short characteristics of the views on the issue of chastity, traditional expectations of fulfilling the female social roles - as virgins, wives and mothers. The author then gives examples of behavior which, in folk tradition, were looked upon as impure/virtueless.
