Poverty during Great Society - American victory in a war on their home soil?
 Peterka, Šimon ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Fabianková, Klára (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the program of War on Poverty declared by president Lyndon Baines Johnson as part of his vision of the Great Society in the sixties in the United States. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the estabilished programs to fight poverty and evaluate their impact on the poor and nonpoor parts of the American society. Absolute poverty in the United States demostrably fell during Johnson's presidency but relative poverty remained largely unaffected. Absolute poverty indicators could have also been affected by economic growth. Several demographical groups undoubtedly profited from Johnson's programs, though, and many programs remain popular to this day.

Was the Great Society great? Social policy of President L. B. Johnson and its impacts on the society
 Zdarsová, Dominika ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with social policy of President Lyndon Baines Johnson and his Great Society. The main goal of the thesis is to analyze what impacts the programme has on the society with focus on racial minorities (especially afro-Americans). It devotes primarily to labour market, employment and War on Poverty. Under the patronage of Great Society many of legislative acts and progammes were realized in sphere of education, job training or health care, which should help to disadvantaged groups of population. During the Johnson's era in years 1964 -- 1968 unemployment really decreased and poverty as well, even on black population. However, it is not evident if it was consequence of Great Society or of economical growth which took place these years in United States.

War on poverty and/or Vietnam war? Question of USA budget priority in second half of 1960´s
 Černík, Jaroslav ; Johnson, Zdenka (advisor) ; Tajovský, Ladislav (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with influence of the Vietnam War on the economy and the federal budgets of the USA with an emphasis on possible effects of this conflict on the continuing War on Poverty declared by the President Lyndon Baines Johnson. The thesis examines changes in expenditures of the federal budget. Their development in the period 1964 -- 1969 indicates that the Vietnam conflict was not a major influence on the failure of Johnson's social programs fighting poverty. The thesis implies that one possible explanation of the failure might be found in Johnson's choice of both ineffective way of dealing with the phenomenon of poverty and in a way of acquiring funds for his social programs, which led to increasing distrust of him and his social policy.
