The purpose of this paper is to examine how six students who attend a high school relate to their multilingualism and emphasize how their multilingualism has affected their views of themselves and their identity. The fundamental questions were:How do six students who attend a secondary school relate to their multilingualism?How has students' multilingualism affected their views of themselves and their identity?I did use a qualitative research method in terms of interviews to receive answers for my inquiries.Carla Jonsson (2010) speaks inter alia about ?the third space? which concerns adolescents creating a ?third room?.

In my thesis, I set out to study academic peer reviews in the hope of clarifying the experts? views on what qualities and qualifications are desirable when appointing or promoting scholars within History of Science. I also investigate whether or not these views change over the years, as I have studied opinions written between 1980 and 2010. I use a qualitative method of analysis, in which I study what words in the peer reviews are used to describe certain values, and how these words relate to the historical and political background of History of Science in Sweden. My research indicates that academic experts are starting to adapt their opinions to the change in educational politics that has taken place during the second half of the 20th century.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att genom en kritisk diskursanalys av utvalda tidningsartiklar, redogöra för framställningen av Islamiska Staten (IS) i Irak och Syrien.

Researchers points out that social media has become a powerful venue to spread news, both for the news business and the users. Although the news diffusion has become a phenomenon to be reckoned with, we have found no research in Sweden about what motivate users of social media to share news.This thesis work therefore investigates news sharing on the social network Facebook by examining user motives in the light of the media theory uses and gratifications. A web survey was conducted and distributed to students at a Swedish university. The result showed that expression was the strongest motive to share news on Facebook, and the item that was highly valued by the students was to give other valuable information. The result also showed that other motives for sharing news was socialization, information, status and entertainment. .

Tänk dig att du plockar upp en tidning på vägen hem, tidningen har slående rubriker vilka tilltalar dig och du väljer att fördjupa dig och eventuellt ta till dig det som lyfts fram i artikeln.Det som den här i studien uppmärksammar är att konjunkturer spelar roll, och synen på konjunkturernas inverkan på samhället och individen lyfts fram i tidningsartiklarna. Det är en bild av en orolig framtid som lyfts fram i media och framtiden kan till och med uppfattas som hotfull genom exemplet lågkonjunktur.Lågkonjunkturen för med sig en samhällsförändring som uppmärksammas av media och genom att belysa denna samhällsförändring via diskursanalys och utvalda teoretiska utgångspunkter om risksamhället och om samhället som socialt konstruerat vilka lyfter fram föreställningarna kring lågkonjunkturen i relation till samhällets utveckling..
