Šplíchalová, Eva ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Machoň, Miloslav (referee)
The United States imposed the longest lasting sanction regime on Cuba in 1960 as a result of strained relations in recent years. Each US administration modified form of the sanctions regime, depending on the attitude toward the Cuban issue. General Assembly, the highest authority of the UN, adopts not legally binding but politically significant resolutions. Resolution condemning US sanctions regime has been adopted annually since 1992. Discussion on changes of the sanction regime in the General Assembly is a sign of reflection on current events and unrigid process of resolutions adoption. The main purpose is to determine whether the changes of the sanction regime were mentioned in the discussions on the adoption of the resolutions. The result of the analysis shows the reflection of the events in the speeches of ambassadors. The amount of mentioned events in speeches depends whether they were positive or negative step toward easing the embargo, and also how important the event was.

Theme of pact with the devil in Czech literature
Hartigová, Barbora ; Holý, Jiří (advisor) ; Janáček, Pavel (referee)
The thesis focuses on the theme of the pact with the devil in the Czech literature between 1968 and 1989. It deals in detail with eight selected literary works from this period, mostly from self-publishing (samizdat) or exile. This is mainly due to the fact that the topic of the pact with the devil seems to be a perfect means of a critical reflection of the period, which was understandably not possible in the official literature. The thesis distinguishes two main types of the theme: a Faustian type and the pact with the devil resembling Dostoevsky's legend about the Grand Inquisitor. The Faustian type of the pact is represented by the works of Daniela Fischerová, Ludvík Aškenazy, Ivan Binar, Jan Trefulka, Josef Šafařík and Václav Havel. They build on puppet and literary Faustian tradition in Bohemia as well as follow the Czech tradition of philosophical reflection of the Faustian story (Jan Patočka, Zdeněk Neubauer). In contrast to the works inspired by The Grand Inquisitor, they focus on existential conflict of individuals and evil, individual motivation to sign a pact with the devil and the resulting punishment or positive solution of the situation. A positive solvent, the possibility to withdraw from the pact with the devil, suggests D. Fischerová in her play Myth (Báj), Trefulka in his novel Misled and...

Cultural diversity and Taoism
Bártík, Robert ; Matějů, Martin (referee) ; Ortová, Jitka (advisor)
The presented study focuses on themes related to the problem of cultural diversity and plurality. The fact that every culture that developed over the course of history lives in the horizon of a completely specific world (a horizon and a context of appearance) implies the question of whether different cultures can mutually understand each other (which is related to the opportunities for mutual translatability of each other's languages and the structures) as well as questions related to the universality of a certain understanding of reality and it's dominant position as a worldview, which is spontaneously demanded by the scientific/technical paradigm of the Euro-Atlantic civilizational range. Today, this problem is reflected from various different positions. From the perspective of ecological crisis, we find it in conceptions of lasting maintainability; from perspective of philosophical reflection, we find it in the project of intercultural philosophy. For a concrete "demonstration" of cultural diversity and plurality, we opted to use the philosophical/religious system of Taoism because we thought that it was "different" enough to be a representative perspective for this study.
