I ett samhälle där datorspelare anses vistas i en högst amoralisk miljö, vill vi med den här studien granska hur etik och moral ter sig i den virtuella världen via ett symboliskt interaktionistiskt perspektiv. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer har elva spelare av onlinespel fått redogöra för sin egen upplevelse av den interaktion de genomgår dagligen. Med hjälp av utförliga teorier kring etik och moral, symbolisk interaktionism och spelkultur har studien ett brett teoretiskt underlag som appliceras i en hermeneutisk analys. Resultatet visar att etik och moral existerar i onlinespel, samtidigt som amoraliteten. Det verkar röra sig om två olika kulturer.

The purpose of our study is to examine whether social welfare secretaries experience obstacles in work to do their tasks in a way that they, from their own values, thinks is right.

The data consist of interviews, with five social welfare secretaries, which all work in southern Sweden. The social welfare secretaries both work at a children- and youth department and at a social allowance department.

Undersökningar visar på att många lärare upplever det svårt att hanterafostransuppdraget, både ur ett tidsmässigt och ett didaktiskt perspektiv. Syftet med denhär studien är att ta del av berättelser av hur de hanterar fostransuppdraget med fokuspå elevernas etik och moral samt att undersöka hur man lär sig hantera uppdraget.Studien har utförts ur ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv och empiriskt material har samlatsin genom intervjuer med gymnasielärare. Resultaten visar på att kursplanernas innehållhar betydelse för hur mycket utrymme läraren ger åt värdegrundsfrågor. Lärarehanterar elevernas etik och moral olika beroende på situation och problemets karaktär.Lärarnas egna mål är bland annat att få lektionerna att fungera, att eleverna kännertrygghet i klassrummet och att öka elevernas förståelse för andra människor. För attlära sig hantera uppdraget krävs att vara där det händer och att våga diskutera etik ochmoral med eleverna.

Jag ska i denna uppsats ta upp tre olika filosofers definitioner och användande av begreppet rationalitet och analysera, tolka och jämföra dessa. De filosofer jag har läst in mig på skiljer sig i det att de argumenterar för olika normativa filosofier. Jag har läst Kant som är deontolog, Singer som är utilitarist och Regan som är rättighetsteoretiker. Jag kommer att introducera och analysera varje enskild filosofs definition och användande för att sedan jämföra och söka efter likheter och skillnader. Jag kommer också att diskutera vad dessa skillnader och likheter kan bero på och vad det kan ge för resultat.

Inom intensivvård bedrivs omvårdnad i en högteknologisk miljö. Flera av patienterna är i behov av andningshjälp i form av ventilatorbehandling vilket medför att patienten är sederad och har en endotrachealtub i trachea. Patienten kan inte själv utföra sin munvård och blir därför beroende av intensivvårdsjuksköterskans hjälp. Syftet med studien var att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskans erfarenhet av munvård av intuberade intensivvårdspatienter. Studien utfördes med en fokusgruppsintervju och analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
