The aim of this study in social work was to investigate Swedish part-time sex workers' experiences of selling sex, of the Swedish Prohibition of Purchase of Sexual Services Act, of people's attitudes toward selling and buying sexual services and the consequences thereof. In the analysis the Erving Goffman stigma theories were used.Three part-time sex workers described their day-to-day experiences of selling sex as well as holding an ordinary job. None of them experienced that the Prohibition of Purchase of Sexual Services Act had an immediate effect on them in their work, what bothered them most was the attitudes toward sex work from society, friends and relatives. The negative attitude forced them to live a double life. None of the sex workers had the impression that the legislation had any concrete effects on their customers.

Our aim with this paper is to study the debate concerning the refusal of entry of the two Egyptians and the involvement of USA, to see if the Swedish sovereignty has been compromised. We have chosen two theories, realism and radicalism, to read if opinions can be identified of supporting one of them. The empiricism we selected are from debate articles in the big news papers Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet and Expressen. We also studied the debate in the Riksdag . The method we used was qualitative and is called analysis of content.The result we could conclude was that most of the debaters are disappointed with how the government handled the whole situation, but still believes that it made the decision on itself.

1.1 billion people are today living without sustainable access to improved water. The debate over the water sector has been dominated by the discussion over whether public or private actors are the most competent to manage it. In this paper the arguments pro and contra the two positions are presented to try to overview the debate and to try to find new ways to approach the question of the people living without clean water. By examining possible alternatives towards the discussion of public and private actors, it might result in some new approaches on how to move closer towards a solution. One alternative is local, small- scale projects which focus on the situation of the targetgroup in most need.

Every now and then new political ideas appear which creates debate. A current example of political debate is the one which concerns the creation of a feminist political party in Sweden -Feministiskt initiativ. Apparent in the current debate is that there are two existing conflicts of ideas present. The liberal thought of politics of ideas stands against feminism's demand for presence in the political life. And the other, the conflict which concerns the question of where a line between the public and the private spheres should be drawn.

The purpose of this paper was that through discourse analysis look at how gender and the equality debate is created between two head debaters and commenter's on a forum. We have used Norbert Elias and John L. Scotson´s (1999) theory about Established and Outsiders to see power struggles between groups in the debate. With Jonathan Potters analysis tools in his book Representing Reality (1996) we were able to analyze the debate texts. Using discourse psychology, we were able to see how people use tactical discourse in their texts to represent themselves and the world in different ways.

Prostitution är ett omdiskuterat fenomen där debatten gått i vågor och samfundet i nuläget gått från att förkasta all form av prostitution till att stödja uppdelningen i ?frivillig? och ?påtvingad? prostitution. Olika länder beskriver, hanterar och reglerar prostitution på vitt skilda sätt men samtidigt finns en internationell konsensus kring att trafficking är förkastlig. Frågan är om det är möjligt att, som i EU, gemensamt arbeta mot trafficking när man inte kan enas kring prostitutionsbegreppet. Inför kommande fotbolls-VM har kritik framförts mot Tysklands sätt att reglera och hantera prostitution genom så kallade ?statliga bordeller?.

SammanfattningDenna uppsats är en studie på hur prostitution och människohandel för sexuella ändamål bekämpas i Sverige. Problematiken med framförallt människohandel för sexuella ändamål är att det är ett globalt växande problem. Kraftansträngningar görs både internationellt och nationellt för att bekämpa denna form av organiserad brottslighet. Trots detta fortsätter handeln att öka.Studien är en fallstudie och ett fall av förvaltningsstyrning. Empirin består av redan existerande källor i form av den handlingsplan som Sveriges regering har tagit fram för att bekämpa prostitution och människohandel för sexuella ändamål.

Denna uppsats är en jämförelse av två kartläggningar av prostitution på Internet: ?När prostitutionen flyttade in i vardagsrummet? skriven av Niclas Olsson vid Malmö Prostitutionsenhet och ?Slutrapport från projektet nätprostitution? skriven av Marie Johansson och Pia Turesson vid Prostitutions- och Spiralenheten i Stockholm.   Med hjälp av en diskursanalys utarbetad av Norman Fairclough kan man bland annat klarlägga hur en texts satskonstruktioner konstruerar samma texts objekt och subjekt. Genom en diskursanalys har denna uppsats konstruktioner/bilder/definitioner av ?sexsäljare?/ ?prostituerad?, ?socialsekreterare? och den hjälp som socialsekreteraren erbjuder sexsäljaren, analyserats.    Analysen och jämförelsen har visat att författarna till de båda texterna har skildaförhållningssätt till prostituerade, sig själva som socialsekreterare och den hjälp de erbjuder sin målgrupp. Det förhållningssätt ?Slutrapport från projektet nätprostitution? visar upp ligger nära ett förhållningssätt som i uppsatsen beskrivs som den Svenska offentliga hållningen till prostitution.

The aim of this paper is in part to distinguish the ideas raised in the Swedish political debate on the new discrimination law in relation to protection of groups. Is protection by law against discrimination needed for the individual or the group? If it is needed for members of groups, are these groups viewed on as static or variable. Are there any conflicts present between group interests? We link these ideas to three different theoretical perspectives: multiculturalism, feminism and intersectionality and further examine the differences and contradictions between the perspectives represented by members of parliament.

?How does the Turkish debate appear concerning the EU-discourse in relation to political conditionality? Is Turkey accepting the demands that are being made?? These questions are answered in this thesis through a qualitative document analysis of the debate concerning EU as it is in Turkish newspapers and statements made by Turkish political representatives. The debate is used to describe the association?s process in a candidate country through investigating how the process and the relationship between EU and Turkey are discussed within the country. The national debate is then used to compare with the accession process for the Central and Eastern European countries based on conditionality to discover if Turkey is different from other candidate countries and if so explain why.

Looking at the debate on nuclear power in Sweden, the issue of risk is central to understanding the difficulties in resolving differences between proponents and opponents. I sought to answer the research question: "how is the concept of risk constructed in the nuclear power debate in Sweden?" Four main aspects of risk construction were defined and investigated to identify differences between sides in the debate. Through a qualitative study of the debate and its actors I found clear differences in respect to all four aspects of risk construction. First, the perception of nuclear power as a "normal risk" is common among nuclear opponents in contrast to a largely probabilistic view among proponents.

Prostitution har varit ett ständigt aktuellt ämne sedan sexköpslagen kom 1999. Vi har velat undersöka vad diskursen fri vilja inom prostitutionsdebatten innebär. Vi har valt ut teman för att kunna analysera hur diskursen fri vilja framkommer i debatten. Vårt syfte är att undersöka vad som inryms i diskursen fri vilja och vilka feministiska ståndpunkter som ger diskursen dess olika innebörder. Vi har genomfört en diskursanalys på tre böcker, utvalda för att representera de olika poler vi anser oss se i debatten.
