Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på hur media rapporterar kring terrorattentat beroende på om terroristen är muslim eller icke-muslim. Genom att använda sociologen Norbert Elias teori om Etablerade och outsiders har jag för avsikt att se huruvida media producerar och ökar skillnader mellan grupper genom sin rapportering. Två specifika attentat kommer att behandlas; terrorattentatet i Norg

The refugee crisis of 2015/2016, has not only challenged the political actors and the civil society of Germany, but also its businesses. Appealed by politicians, few German companies have started contributing to the integration of refugees into the labour market, mainly in form of donations, employee commitment and occupational preparation courses. This constitutes a new field of Corporate Social

Japan have for a long time tried to make the country more equal and the prime minister of Japan Shinzo Abe said year 2014 that “now it is the women’s time to shine in Japan”. Womenomics was created with gender equality goals to be reach until 2020 but so far, the equality changes in Japan has been slow. Japan rank low in the world when it comes to gender equality while other countries are catching

The Swedish Model is a somewhat vague concept that can mean many things, depending on who you ask. But usually it is characterized by the great deal of autonomy the labour market organizations enjoy. Traditionally, the unions and the employer associations in question are responsible for the functioning of the labour market (e.g. the wage formation), with none or very little involvement from the st

This thesis studies the occurence of deliberative democracy and policy professionals in the Swedish public debate. To analyse deliberative democracy, a framework based on theories by political scientists Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson is created. Correspondingly, a theoretical framework based on research by social anthropologist Christina Garsten, political scientist Bo Rothstein and sociologist

During the last decades, green parties have gone from small protest parties with an origin in the new social movements to governmental participants. Existing research has been done on how these changes have affected their internal organization, but none have been done on how it affects their policy. With a starting-point in Mogens N. Pedersen “party lifespan approach” this study aims to answer thi

Abstract There are several problems when studying, as this thesis, the interplay between the concepts of Europe and of nation, in an official discourse of a state. One is that these concepts are largely seen as being in a dichotomous position. This research argues about the importance of changing the perception about the various way the concepts can relate to each other. The study considers the re

Because gender inequalities in the private sphere have for consequences the development of a second-class citizenship for women, aiming for gender equality in the private sphere is fundamental in order to tend towards equality in the society as a whole. Yet, it is a complex goal to reach. Indeed, family policies are only a small part of a system where social, economic and cultural factors are inte

Den här kandidatuppsatsen analyserar EU:s CSR-policy utifrån ett governmentalitetsperspektiv. I en grundläggande bemärkelse är företags sociala ansvar, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), om att styra någons beteende att agera ansvarsfullt. Ett liknande perspektiv på styrning introducerades av Michel Foucault som governmentalitet och har senare vidareutvecklats av ett antal teoretiker. I synnerThis Bachelor's thesis analysis EU CSR policy from a perspective of governmen-tality. In a basic sense, Corporate Social Responsibility is about governing one’s behaviour to act responsible. A similar perspective on governing was introduced by Michel Foucault as governmentality, and has later developed by other scholars. In particular, the neoliberal system for governing has been treated as a

Lithuania like other Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries has undergone major changes from the communist socio-economic order to the system based on democratic capitalism. This shift towards market economy and the collapse of communist ideology were also reflected in higher education (HE) reforms. Since political parties are the main actors in modern democracies, partisan politics could in

As the general concern about the environment grows citizens find new ways to engage in practices that try to counter unsustainable practices. Often these practices are off the beaten political path and stand for newer methods to effectuate change on small or larger scales. This thesis looks at one of the newer forms of engagement, namely at individuals in anti food waste groups on the social netwo

Social platforms on the internet become increasingly influential as a source of information and spreading of ideas for large masses. YouTube enables individuals to create and publish content for free and gather audiences all over the world. Some people use this opportunity to advocate socio-political ideas on a larger scale than would otherwise be possible. This study will focus on the topic of ge

Föreliggande uppsats behandlar synen på första världskriget i ett antal konservativa svenska dagstidningar och tidskrifter. Syftet är att undersöka modernitetskritikens roll i de tolkningar av kriget som kom till uttryck i detta sammanhang. Uppsatsens frågeställning tar avstamp i ett tämligen omfattande internationellt forskningsläge, i vilket den anmärkningsvärt höga grad av entusiasm som många eThis thesis examines how the First World War was viewed and interpreted in a number of conservative Swedish newspapers and periodicals. More specifically, the aim is to analyze the role that the critique of modernity had in these interpretations. I draw on an extensive range of international historical research on how the war was interpreted by intellectuals in the belligerent countries. In many o

Musikbranchen och högre musikutbildningar är ojämställda i förhållande till kön. Syftet med denna undersökning är att ta reda på hur musiklärare kan jobba för att ge pojkar och flickor samma möjligheter att utvecklas musikaliskt. Metoden som använts är kvalitativ forskningsintervju. Intervjuerna visade att om instrumentfördelningen ska bli jämställd ur ett könsperspektiv behöver en som lärare styrThe music business and higher music educations are uneven in relation to gender. The purpose with this study is to find out how music teachers can work to create an education where all students have the same opportunities to learn and evolve. The method used is qualitative research interview. The interviews showed that if the instrument distribution in a class is to be equal by gender, the teacher

Today, as our cities are becoming increasingly dense - the role of internal spaces are rising as ever-more important in defining urbanity. And in a moment in which our private lives have become exposed and controlled in almost every aspect, the interior has become the eminent space of refuge, providing anonymity and freedom. In Is the New Out offers a radical reexamination of the interior as the l

Waste is a growing environmental problem, especially organic waste that decomposes and generates large emissions of methane. In controlled environments, the methane emissions could instead be used to reduce the use of virgin substances, example fossil fouls.

This study examines how the discourses from the British debate on the French burkini bans from 2016, portrayed Muslim women who cover. 13 articles from The Times, The Guardian, and The Telegraph covering the period of March to June 2016 were selected, and through a discourse analysis it was examined which chains of equivalence were constructed in relation to the nodal point ‘burqini’. With an unde

Traffic is increasing in the cities and most of the main roads are not designed for today's traffic, this creates environmental problems like noise and air pollution. Road users choose other roads that are not intended for through traffic, leading to congestion and dense traffic. The high traffic volume destroys housing environments and makes it unsafe and unpleasant to be out, especially for
