The master thesis named The Transformation of Presentation of the Middle East Population in Post-9/11 American Films aims to closely analyze eight chosen mainstream American films with the help of the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. The plot of the observed films has to be placed in the Middle East, picture terrorism or contain the Arabs or Muslims as characters. On the basis of a wide range of criteria and the final comparison, the thesis focuses on the comparison of the Hollywood movies which were created before and after the terrorist attacks in New York in 2001. The theoretical chapters are dedicated to the introduction of the social construction of reality, stereotyping and one-dimensional description of the Arabs in Hollywood films and mainly to the deep introduction of West and Islamic culture, not only from the historic but also cultural and valuable point of view.

This part is followed by the final evaluation of the analysis on the basis of the comparison of the observed criteria.

Soliman, Abdelrahman ; Jelínková, Marie (advisor) ; Dobiášová, Karolína (referee)
Research on inequities, especially in health care access among immigrants in Germany, has always reflected some of the disparities between the resident population and the immigrants. However, little attention is always placed on the potential inequalities regarding health care within the immigrants (Arab immigrants).

Since 2013, Germany has received at least 400,000 to 1500,000 immigrants from the Arab world. For this reason, this study analyses challenges faced by the Arab immigrants in access to healthcare in Germany and the underutilization of the medical care services by the Arab immigrant community. The methodological angle undertaken in this study considers relevant literatures to the topic in analysis the state of the matter in Germany by comparing findings from the considered literatures from previous research on the same topic as the study herein. Upon carrying out the research, this study found out that apart from poor communication between Arab speakers and native German medical practitioners, unimplemented governing policies, inadequate knowledge of the services, discrimination, lack of data for medical preparedness, and financial problems instigated by the slow integration of...

Pohnanová, Petra ; Hnát, Pavel (advisor) ; Sudliankou, Aliaksandr (referee)
In my thesis I'm looking for the answer to current and future prospects of integration processes in the Arab world. The aim of my work is to determine whether is for the emergence of effective economic integration in the Arab world sufficient religious, social and cultural proximity. The first chapter is devoted to the demographic structure, the influence of Islam on the economy, the distribution of mineral wealth in the region, trade of individual Arab states and economic development in the past 20 years. Based on these data should be clear if the Arab region has the potential to deepen their economic integration. The second chapter will deal with individual agreements in North Africa and the Middle East and prospects for all-Arab economic integration, which is being born in the region.
