Rökning och passiv rökning är ett folkhälsoproblem som orsakar mycket ohälsa.På senare år har attityderna kring rökning ändrats från att ha varit rökarens rätt att röka till icke-rökarens rätt att slippa bli exponerad. Det här kan leda till konflikt mellan icke-rökare och rökare då många icke-rökarna vill slippa exponeras för tobaksrök samtidigt som rökarna enligt lag har rätt att röka i utomhusmiljö. Syftet med att göra den här studien är att undersöka rökares och icke-rökares upplevelser kring rökning med förhoppningen om att komma fram till en lösning där båda gruppernas upplevelser kan mötas. Icke-rökare vill slippa exponeras och rökare vill få röka i fred. Det finns ett problem med detta och det är att mycket av det tobakspreventiva arbetet som gjorts i Sverige syftat till att gör det besvärligt att vara rökare.

The honour norm is strong within the Middle East but is scattered all over the world. As a result of immigration, the honorary context has become more established in Sweden. Violence, committed in the name of honour, is commonly executed by male family members. Thus, young men are forced, in some degree, to participate in the oppression and control of their sisters. Violence exercised in the name of honour, can be traced back to the patriarchal family system in which woman are subordinate to men.

And what is the importance of the secondary teachers? work experience? I have interviewed four secondary teachers with different work experience to complete this thesis.

Miljömedvetenhet är ett aktuellt ämne och samhällets normer går i en miljömedveten riktning. Eftersom tidigare forskning visat att kvinnor är mer miljömedvetna än män samt att kvinnor har en högre vilja att passa in i samhällets normer, har endast kvinnor deltagit i denna undersökning. Syftet är att utifrån en enkätundersökning ta reda på om det finns ett samband mellan kvinnors attityder till miljömedvetenhet och ålder samt strävan efter social normativitet. I undersökningen deltog 96 kvinnor och resultatet visade att ju äldre kvinnor är desto mer miljömedvetna är de samt att ju högre grad av miljömedvetenhet en kvinna har desto högre strävan efter social normativitet har hon. Resultatet visade även att är en kvinna äldre så är hon mer miljömedveten och därmed också har en högre strävan efter social normativitet.
