The aim of this study is to shed light on the phenomenon of destructive sexual behavior among youth from the perspective of professionals working at Nonprofit organizations. To examine this, we used a qualitative method; we interviewed professionals working at Nonprofit organizations. To analyze our results we used gender theory and empowerment theory. Our main results are that the professionals view this behavior as deliberate self-harm, such as cutting, as they do it to achieve relief from anxiety. Also, the professionals think that gender norms affect young people with destructive sexual behavior in that it imposes guilt and shame, which inflicts their already low self-esteem and makes them feel inferior.

Reklam för olika produkter och organisationer möter oss varje dag bland annat genom tidningar, radio, TV eller på vägen till jobbet. De TV-sända reklamfilmerna som avbryter i lördagsfilmen eller under nyhetssändningen är till för att påverka oss TV-tittare. Vi har i denna studie valt att undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader man ser i en jämförelse av två reklamfilmer från kommersiella företag och två från Nonprofitorganisationer.Vi har som syfte att identifiera drag och linjer i filmerna som är likadana eller skiljer sig åt från de olika typerna av organisationer. Fenomenet vi vill undersöka är hur reklamfilmer från Nonprofitorganisationer utformas och fungerar jämfört med reklamfilm från kommersiella företag. Detta kommer vi göra genom att dra slutsatser utifrån kvalitativa tolkningar kring likheter och skillnader i filmerna.Undersökningarna som denna uppsats baseras på kommer att utföras genom två kvalitativa studier på fyra reklamfilmer.

Ämnet ledarskap och ledarskapsstilar kan vid en första anblick ses som ett klart och tydligt begrepp som är enkelt att förstå. När man sedan applicerar dessa begrepp inom ramen för ideell verksamhet kan det också verka enkelt. Detta är dock inte fallet när man fördjupar sig i ämnet och börjar inse att ledarskap är ett komplext begrepp som innefattar en mängd olika saker och skilda teorier kring ledarskapsstilar som anpassar sig bäst i olika situationer. Röda Korset är en av många ideella verksamheter i Sverige och är en av det få ideella organisationer i landet som har en egen ledarskapsutbildning, där ledarskapet utifrån deras vision sprids och lärs ut. Intresset fångade oss när vi inom ramen för ledarskap, ledarskapsstilar samt ideell verksamhet ville se hur Röda Korsets ledarskapsutbildning utformats samt vilken ledarskapsstil de förmedlar.
