The values of the Swedish school system is said to be rooted in the ethics of Christianity and western humanism. Critics say that this expression can be seen as a sign of an obscured eurocentrism when world-wide accepted values is said to be cared for by Christianity and the west. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the politicians argue on this issue, why the values of the Swedish school system should be said to be cared for by the ethics of Christianity and the western humanism. I also want to examine if these arguments in fact corresponds with the worldview of eurocentrism. The examination consists of a discourse analysis review of, for example, journals of the Swedish parliament, which is later compared with the theories of eurocentrism.I believe the argumentation can be categorized in three main categories: first a conservative ideological perspective where they are driven by the notion that the Swedish culture could be defined by establishing and defending its foundations; a philosophical/religious perspective where they want to justify the indisputable values they believe should be maintained in the schools; a eurocentric/psychological perspective where they tend to express the Swedish identity by defining what is typically characteristic of ?us? and typically characteristic of ?the others?.

Anknytning är en livslång process och partnerrelationen är den vanligaste formen av anknytning i vuxenlivet. Huvudsyftet med studien var att med hjälp av enkäter undersöka om vuxen romantisk anknytning är relaterat till val av copingstrategier. Urvalet består av 68 universitetsstudenter, varav 36 kvinnor och 32 män. Resultatet visar att trygga individer söker emotionellt stöd i större utsträckning än otrygga individer som istället oftare tillämpar självdistraktion och uppgivenhet. Till skillnad från tidigare studier finns det inga samband mellan trygg anknytning och problemfokuserade copingstrategier respektive otrygg anknytning och emotionsfokuserade copingstrategier, vilket är förenligt med Cheng och Cheungs teori om flexibel coping.

The Swedish market for this kind of information professionals has not yet developed into a big, well-established and lucrative branch as for example the one in the USA.

This thesis analyzes the media debates generated by the election of Omar Mustafa to the board of the social democratic party, and the appointment of the conservative Minister of Labour, Elisabeth Svantesson. More specifically, the aim is to analyze newspaper material through a discourse analyze, to see if and how religious affiliation effects the possibilities to act as a political representative. Theories of othering and intersectionality serve as theoretical points of departure. Further, chains of equivalence from Laclau and Mouffe?s discourse theory are used to study how categories as ?us? and ?the other? are constructed in the material, and how these processes of categorization relate to the intersection of religion, gender and ethnicity.
