Syftet med föreliggande uppsats har varit att undersöka den religiösa filmens påverkan på människans, och då främst ungdomars, uppfattning av religion. Studien har inriktat sig främst på två prominenta religiösa filmer, The Passion of the Christ och Kristi Sista Frestelse, men många andra religiösa filmer har tagits med i diskussionen för att göra en mer heltäckande bild möjlig. Mer specifikt har syftet varit att undersöka vilka budskap dessa två ovan nämnda religiösa filmer har och vill förmedla, vilka metoder som man använder för att göra detta och till sista huruvida ungdomarna i den empiriska undersökningen verkligen upplever att filmerna påverkat dem i någon utsträckning eller inte. Denna fråga har besvarats genom såväl undersökning av tidigare forskning, en litteraturstudie, men även genom en särskild empirisk undersökning i form av en kvalitativ enkätundersökning baserad på en visning av filmen The Passion of the Christ för undersökningsgruppen. Slutledningen som baserats på ovan nämnda tillvägagångssätt har blivit att de två filmerna jag valt att analysera båda har tydliga budskap som de vill förmedla till tittaren, dock är dessa huvudsakliga budskap hos filmerna sinsemellan djupt olika.

The purpose of this study was to highlight LGBT asylum-seekers experiences of expressing their sexual identity or gender identity in the country of origin and in the asylum process in Sweden. By interviewing people who got permanent residence in Sweden because of gender or sexual orientation in Utlänningslagen (2005:716) we have been able to explore their own experiences from expressing themselves. This study analyse these experiences from a social psychological perspective, from this analysis we aimed to obtain a deeper understanding of how the experiences from the country of origin affects on the experiences in the asylum process. This study shows that LGBT asylum-seekers often is facing negative reactions from the environment in the country of origin, these reactions can limit their possibilities to express their sexual identity or gender identity in the asylum process in Sweden. The negative reactions they experience in the country of origin have contributed to that many LGBT people internalize feelings of fear to express themselves, feelings that often stays when they come to Sweden to seek asylum.

This study takes its starting point in ongoing changes and differences in the global power dynamics. The liberal rules-based world order that has been acknowledged for governing the world with the US as the hegemon of power has been strongly challenged during the last decades. Russia?s invasion of Ukraine can be seen as an example of ongoing changes in the world order, with Russia as a challenger to the US as the hegemon of power. The changes and instability that this has led to for Sweden's national security situation can be seen as a concrete example of how ongoing changes in the world order affect Sweden?s foreign policy.

Through trading with countries that have a relative aboundant supply of labor, Sweden changes it's effective supply of labor, in a Factor Content perspective. This essay does two Factor Content analyses, one for year 1995 and one for 2000. The first comparison of these analyses shows that Sweden exports about 27 600 labor-years more year 2000 than 1995. However, since Factor Content analysis arguably underestimates the imported labor, some assumptions are made in order to correct for this. This correction has great importance for the final analysis.

With this essay I have tried to give an image of some Swedish teenagers opinions about Islam. I have also done research on how the Swedish school depicts Islam and how the media in Sweden and other western countries describe Islam and Muslims. I have come to the conclusion that the media do not give a positive image of Muslims and their religion. One the contrary, Muslims are talked about in relation to negative subjects. This is an image that seems to have influenced how young people in Sweden look at Muslims.I have handed out a questionnaire at schools in Kalmar and Jönköping, Sweden.
