This essay is a comparison according to the ideological thoughts about womens position in the society of Mao Zedong och Josef Stalin. The material I have analysed is writings by Mao and Stalin, in a wide range from leaflets to orders to the armies of the states of China and the Soviet Union. The method I have used is an ideological analysis where the attitude towards women is the target for my survey. The attitude towards women generally was not unified in the world during the time for Mao and Stalin. In many countries the women was intended to take care of the children and the home, not be active in working and fighting.

This thesis deals with the cultural efforts of the Swedish labour movement during the periodof 1917-1939. It aims to examine the similarities and differences between social democratsand communists in their approach towards culture.My theoretical guidelines are the dialectic and materialistic view on history as set forth byKarl Marx and Friedrich Engels.I have examined some important individuals in the cultural debate within the Swedish labourmovement, such as Ture Nerman and Arthur Engberg, and I also briefly outline the debate inthe Soviet Union from the classics of Lenin and Stalin.I have found that the social democrats were mainly concerned with a democratic distributionof the existing bourgeois culture rather than working for the creation of a new proletarianculture; the communists on the other hand made considerable efforts to benefit the workers'own culture based on class struggle, but failed to threaten the social democratic ideologicalhegemony among the Swedish working class..

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur marxismen framställs i läroböcker. Detta är intressant eftersom att läroböcker används mycket i skolan och deras innehåll ses som auktoriativt av elever (det vill säga, de tror på det som står däri). Marxismen är också en central ekonomisk teori som kan läras ut i både samhällskunskap och historia.Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur marxism framställs i läroböcker. Detta syfte preciseras i frågeställningar som frågar vilka aspekter av marxismen som inkluderas i läroböcker och om dessa aspekter skiljer sig åt mellan böcker för ämnena historia och samhällskunskap samt mellan böcker för högstadiet och gymnasiet. De aspekter jag utgår ifrån är marxismens grundläggande beståndsdelar fastställda av Vladimir Lenin.Med hjälp av en kvantitativ innehållsanalys som problematiserar undervisningsinnehåll (och som därmed är en bred didaktisk analys) visar denna undersökning på att framställningen av marxismen i läroböcker är exkluderande när det gäller aspekter av marxismen, att läroböcker i historia inkluderar mer aspekter än de i samhällskunskap, samt att ingen signifikant skillnad mellan böcker för högstadiet och gymnasiet föreligger.
