Předběžná náplň práce

Cílem práce je analyzovat různorodé názory na nově ustanovenou politiku oceánu ve Spojených státech amerických a pomocí analýzy potvrdit nebo vyvrátit hlavní hypotézu práce, tedy, zda můžeme předpokládat, že Republikáni budou danou politiku kritizovat ze zřejmých ideologických důvodů, a naopak, že Demokraté budou danou politiku podorovat, neboť pramení z jejich administrativy a mají odlišný přístup k environmentálním politikám než Republikáni.

Předběžná náplň práce v anglickém jazyce

The main goal of this thesis is to analyze the opinions on the newly established National Ocean Policy in the United States and through this analysis either confirm or disprove the main hypothesis - we can assume that Republicans will support this policy from obvious ideological reasons, whilst Democrats would support this policy as it originated from their administration and because of their approach to policies concerning environmental issues.
