This study is based on six narrative interviews which I conducted with students at the University of Namibia in Windhoek, Namibia. My aim is to find out how these students are creating their identity in the environment of the university, how they look at their family structure and how Namibia´s independence in 1990 has created new opportunities for young people in contemporary Namibia. I have been using postcolonial theory and identity theories to analyse the interviews. Five of the six respondents are from the northern parts of Namibia, Ovamboland, and this area is seen as a rural area. The students have made an emotional journey from the rural areas in the north to the urban area of Windhoek and they feel that they have many new opportunities and they are willing to change Namibia into a more developed country..

BackgroundAccording to the Swedish Statistics Central Office (SCB) there were 2 064 000 detached houses in Sweden in 2009. The same year Nordea Bank released a report which described an increased interest in private finances among 2,4 million Swedes. Within the area of private finances lies that which concerns real estate. We argue that a house (detached house) is one of the most financially valuable assets a person will ever own and thus the increased interest in private finance is justified.In regard to this, the financial valuation of the property becomes an issue. When discussed, people mostly refer to the market value, which is the estimated value of the property on the open market.

Unconscious Thought Theory (UTT) lär oss att komplexa problem bättre löses   av   omedvetna   processer   än   medvetna.  UTT   är   dock   en   högst kontroversiell teori för beslutsfattande. Det finns delar av tankegångarna kring medvetet och omedvetet tänkande som behöver undersökas djupare. Beslutsfattande baseras exempelvis på information som kodas in genom en aktiv,   medveten   process.   Givetvis   påverkar   kvaliteten   på   inkodningen besluten   oberoende   av   strategi,   men   UTT   antyder   att   strategin   med omedveten  tanke  möjligen  lider mer av  dålig inkodning  än  medveten. I nedanstående   experiment   jämförs   omedvetet   och   direkt   beslutsfattande med avseende på strukturerad och ostrukturerad inkodning. Deltagare som kombinerade   omedvetet   tänkande   med   en   strukturerad   inkodningsform presterade bäst, men resultaten är inte statistiskt signifikanta..
