This thesis is largely about museums and their role and development in and for society. With a field/case study of the District Six Museum in Cape Town, we try to encapsulate a modern function for museums within a context of 1) the current worldwide discussion on museums and their future, and 2) the development of a new democratic nation in South Africa, and museums possible role in that process. Through analysis of interviews made with concerned people within and outside the District Six museum weintend to get a picture of the views on this particular museum and its role and function, for its community and society at large, plus for other museums, as a possible role model. We find that this museum might be close to a type of museum that has been asked for by museologists and others in recent times..

?Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.? ? Louis L?AmourKunskap är ofta något som tas för givet och som självklart i många organisationer men faktum är att kunskap är en värdefull som resurs som rätt hanterad kan vara en väldig tillgång för en organisation. Kunskapshantering eller knowledge management benämns den organisationsteori som behandlar tillvaratagandet av kunskaper som resurser. Centrala begrepp inom knowledge management är erfarenhetsåterföring och kunskapsöverföring, att de lärdomar som organisationen får i uppdrag och projekt ska föras vidare till övriga personer inom organisationenså att de kan användas av andra i senare i projekt.Samhällsbyggnadssektorn är en stor sektor i Sverige med uppemot en halv miljon anställda. Det är en bransch som ofta brukar beskrivas som konservativ och ovillig till förändringar.

It is important that society adapts to the increase and begins to work preventively to reduce the costs of the increase.

SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] penetrated China in spring of 2003, created havoc in the social society, exposed weaknesses within the political system and pushed the nation towards a crisis of confidence. At the same time the crisis revitalised the Party's position, brought people from different social stratum together and had a beneficial impact on the populace's knowledge on health related issues.What makes the SARS crisis in China interesting for further and deeper investigation is the method it chose to respond to its national crisis. They plan of response was indeed a retrogression back to "older" times, using methods and propaganda very much like those used during Mao Zedong and later Deng Xiaoping. The first step of response was denial and cover up of the real situation, which quickly turned to unprecedented transparency, as the magnitude of SARS became known. The Party and the government were quick to proclaim themselves as the bearer of the key knowledge and information on how to best fight the disease, this in sharp contrast to the political trend of more co-operation between the private and public sector and political transparency.
