Sochová, Klára ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Sunega, Petr (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is about comparison of tested social benefits within the social support in the Czech Republic, Great Britain and Sweden. Theoretical comparative analysis is supplemented by interpretation of the practical research part, i. e. of the survey. Its objective was to find out the Czech respondents' satisfaction with tested social benefits within the social support in the Czech Republic. The results indicate disagreement with the amount of all three benefits or their redundancy. Child benefit is in all age categories insufficient, the housing benefit should be eligible only for the economically active population or a completely different form of support should be used. Sure start maternity grant is not the motivation for giving birth to another child and there is a trend to its universal payment or complete cancellation. Hypothesis that the amount and payment conditions of tested social benefits within the social support in the Czech Republic are set inappropriately was on the basis of the analysis and the survey accepted.

Czech-British and British-Czech Cultural Standards
Dufková, Gabriela ; Křečková Kroupová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Khelerová, Vladimíra (referee)
Despite a close geographical position to the Czech Republic, there are vast differences between the Czech and British cultures. Commonly after arriving in Britain, many Czech nationals experience a cultural shock and do not understand the behaviour of the British people. The same can be said about Britons arriving in the Czech Republic. This makes it important to understand the cultural differences to help both nationals interact successfully with one another. This Master thesis focuses on cultural standards, a concept made by Alexander Thomas. Therefore, this report aims to define the Czech-British and British-Czech cultural standards, whilst comparing them with the theory and then to apply them in a cultural-historic framework. This report will hypothesise that the defined cultural standards do not differ from the standards analysed within the book by Karel Čapek. Other hypothesis of this thesis is: Many Britons see Czech people as over-caring and anxious. In conclusion to this report, the author will provide recommendations to both Czech nationals travelling to Great Britain and also the same for British descendants arriving within the Czech Republic.
