Black Characters in British Literature of the 19th century
BENEŠOVÁ, Tereza
The aim of my diploma thesis is to analyse black characters in British literature of the 19th century. For the analysis, I chose Thackeray's Vanity Fair, Jane Austen's Mansfield Park and Sanditon, Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone. To my analysis I also included the historical background and summarized history of slavery. I also considered the social question on the topic in my thesis.

Kubiszová, Daniela ; Křečková Kroupová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Beneš, Martin (referee)
Nowadays, most of the countries in the world are getting more and more dependent on each other, both politically and economically. Along with that, cultural clash comes inevitably influencing are private lives and working environment. Multinational companies get the opportunity of using the potential of diverse cultural environment which is challenging the managers, and other employees, to increase their competencies. The goal of this thesis is to identify the Indian cultural standards from the Czech point of view and the Czech ones from the Indian point of view. The theory of the thesis is based on cultural models by Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars. The cultural standards are being identified by using the method of critical incidents where the selected respondents are being interviewed. The thesis analyses at which aspects the two examined cultures differ the most and how it influences the working environment and performance. The research results are compared to other theoretical models and the thesis provides recommendations on how to work with the identified standards in order to make the Indian-Czech cooperation as efficient as possible.
