Studie- och yrkesvägledning i lägre åldrar har blivit ett allt mer aktuellt ämne på senare tid. Ämnet utgör grunden för denna studie, som syftar till att visa små barns egna perspektiv när det gäller deras upplevelse av karriär.

Några slutsatser som dras är att barnen till övervägande del kopplar arbete till föräldrarna, att de inte ser några begränsningar vad gäller könsroller samt att alla barnen anger realistiska yrkesaspirationer..

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine the methods public libraries can use in order to market youth services. It is also a chance to evaluate an untested marketing model adapted to public libraries. Young people are one of the most difficult groups to attract to the library and thus librarians need adequate methods to deal with this problem. We have interviewed librarians, carried out observations and examined documents in accordance to the triangulation method. Before one can begin marketing the libraries one ought to know of how marketing is done and the principles behind it, therefore we have given a simple explanation of marketing and marketing theory.

In the following study I probe the social world of hard-rock music. By conducting interviews with four Young male enthusiasts of this music I try to develop a general picture of this social world, as well as of the basic elements on which this particular subculture is constructed. The identity of a hard-rocker is based upon a number of factors beyond just a preference for that music. Throughout the interviews I encountered many implicit norms that one must followed in order to be able to see oneself as a true hard-rocker. I also found that from the respondents? perspective, the mainstream culture has, throughout the history of metal music, used various ways to counter the spreading of this genre.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka hur 40-talisterna hanterar åldrandet. Våra frågeställningar lyder så här: att undersöka om den äldre generationen känner sig stigmatiserad från samhället. Är det ?inne? att vara ung? Vad är ungdom? Vem har skapat den här normen, och hur påverkar det de som ?inte är unga??

Använder de skönhetsprodukter? Klär de sig på ett visst sätt och i så fall, varför gör de det? Vi använde oss av kvalitativa intervjuer där 8 informanter blev intervjuade.För att kunna analysera vårt resultat har vi använt oss av teorier av Bauman, Skeggs, Goffman och Giddens. Det som framläggs i uppsatsen är att informanterna lever efter ungdomsidealet och att de använder olika åtgärder för att kunna passa in i normen.
