THE CHANGES IN THINKING AND REFLECTION IN ART THANKS TO WORLD WAR I
ČURDA, Bohuslav
The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to present and analyse the art of the early 20th century in Central Europe, so that it is possible to evaluate how the mentally complex social situation before, during and after the war was reflected in art, and how people's thinking has changed. Painting and literature will be pointed out and it will be lightly linked to the music of individual artistic styles. Each of the styles, which in this work includes expressionism, cubism, futurism and dadaism, depicts a view of the world, which leads us to the conclusion that behind it all is man, or society. According to the works I have selected, which have moved with time and influenced the direction of art, we will finally conclude that the theme of the works and the resulting feelings flexibly indicated the direction in which Europe was heading. At first, man longed for a change that would be brought by war, so expressionism often follows on from shocking to haunting matters in conjunction with contrasting colors. Subsequent cubism seeks to fend off the confusing fruits of science that new technologies have brought. The result is the decomposition or destruction of previously clear things. Futurism will further support this idea with a focus on radical destruction through technology and the expectation of a more dynamic and modern future in terms of technology. And the dadaism created during the war only reflects violence and tries to break the old values in its grotesque art that is supposed to end the war. In the same way, other artistic directions realize the destructiveness of modern warfare, and after the war they try to warn against the technologies of the new war, or just retroactively reflect the horrible experiences of the war.

Veselá, Anna ; Kubín, Petr (advisor) ; Šmíd, Marek (referee)
This thesis describes the transformation of a parish life in Stará Říše in the context of historical events of the first half of the 20th century. This historical period represents the parish at the beginning of the new millennium, in the reflection of the first world war, a more peaceful period of the First Republic, then the 2nd World War and finally shows the changes brought by the new politico-economic structure of society. This thesis also focuses on the development of the parish under the patronage of the nearby Premonstratensian monastery in Nová Říše, under whose administration the parish always historically belonged. Finally, the attention is paid to the personality of Josef Florian, who is widely known for his publishing activities. His Publisher attracted many artists and writers into Stará Říše, on the other hand, his point of views became a source of disagreement between him, local people and monastery.

The effect of the World War 1 on the labour union activity in the USA
Filip, Jan ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
In my master thesis I focus on the effect of World War 1 on labour unions power in the United States of America. The goal is to answer these questions: What factors influenced position of labour unions at the beginning of the 20th century? How did the position of labour unions change during World War I? World War I was already a second experience with war economy in the history of the USA (remember American Civil War). For the first time, though, labour unions played important role in the American economy. I have decided to analyze the effect of World War I on position of labour unions because I consider it an important one. In Chapter one I will analyze the influence of war inflation on real wages of employees and on the ratio between wages of union workers and non-union workers. Chapter two is dedicated to labour conditions (social programs, safety, unemployment benefits) and to their modifications which took place because of World War I. Chapter three is about labour legislation development (regulation of hours and wages, yellow dog contracts, anti-trust and immigration legislation) and its adjustments during the war years. In the Conclusion I sum up all the evidence and evaluate the influence of the World War I on the labour unions and their members.
