This essay aims to explore the development of the common foreign and security policy within the European Union as well as the recent addition of the post of High representative in the field of the common foreign and security policy. This essay will attempt to achieve this trough exploring the questions; how have the aim of the European foreign policy developed, how the forms of cooperation has within this field developed and finally what impact will the recent addition of a high representative for the common foreign and security have. My aim is to answer these questions with the help of neo-functionalism.The results that came out of this essay point to the direction that the neo- functionalist premise about spill over effects and the notion about increased supranational influence turn out to have some validity in them. The study has shown that during the time the cooperation within the field of foreign and security policy have developed it is possible to see that supranational institutions will gain influence when the scope of integration within a policy area widens and deepens..

The purpose of this paper was that through discourse analysis look at how gender and the equality debate is created between two head debaters and commenter's on a forum. We have used Norbert Elias and John L. Scotson´s (1999) theory about Established and Outsiders to see power struggles between groups in the debate. With Jonathan Potters analysis tools in his book Representing Reality (1996) we were able to analyze the debate texts. Using discourse psychology, we were able to see how people use tactical discourse in their texts to represent themselves and the world in different ways.

The foundation for this thesis lies in whether or not, and how, the body representation in printed commercials, specific products directed to the body (shampoo, body lotion etc.), has changed during the last fifty years. Four years have been chosen because of the changes in society that we believe might have had an impact. The commercials that have been picked out are the ones that best represent the general view of the body. We have found that the changes when it comes to body presentation has followed the social development to a certain degree, but it is difficult to say how much the society has had an affect on the body ideal in advertising. Representations of the male body is something that has escalated since the early 70?s, fifteen years earlier few commercials was made with male models, and the few there were, never showed more than the face.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skolår 4 elevers förståelse av likhetstecknet. Vi ville även studera hur symbolen presenteras i elevernas läroböcker och mot bakgrund av tidigare forskning diskutera hur detta kan påverka deras förståelse av begreppet. I studien använde vi oss av tre insamlingsmetoder: en kvantitativ undersökning, kvalitativa intervjuer och en textanalys av läroböcker för skolår 3 och 4. Vår undersökning visar att även om eleverna uppvisar bra förståelse av likhetstecknet när de löser uppgifter av strukturell typ, har de svårigheter med att muntligt beskriva likhetstecknets funktion. Textanalysen synliggör att andelen utsagor av operationell typ som framhävs i läroböckerna för åk 3 minskar betydligt i läroböckerna för åk 4.
