The purpose of this essay was to examine Class-travellers experiences of having done the Class-travel and when they realised they had done it.My questions were: when did they start the Class-travel? How do they experience themselves after going through the Classtravel? How do they change as Class-travellers in their relationship with their surroundings?The study was based on interviews with six Classtravellers, trained social workers who have made their journey through studies. In the essay I have analyzed and compared the interviews with relevant litterature/theory.My conclusions are that the experiences of the Class-travel are different.

This essay contains a comparative analysis of Erik Olin Wrights Marxist Class analysis and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negris post-Marxist Class analysis as presented in their books ?Empire? and ?Multitude: War and democracy in the age of Empire?. I discuss the shift in analytical focus from state level to global level that Hardt and Negri's analysis represent and the ensuing relevance of this for contemporary Class analysis. The essay also address the challenge and implications posed to Class analysis by the ever increasing economic globalization, from a material production to an ever growing immaterial service economy and the decrease in state power in controlling capital and labor movement. I propose that analytical understanding of Class conflict help us to a better understanding of the mechanisms and dynamics that generate social and economical inequalities and that an updated Marxist Class analysis still have much to contribute to our understanding to how these issues not only shape our society but also our capacity to counteract them..

Students have different backgrounds and knowledge level, therefore it is extremely important that the teachers use different work methods in order to achieve and to promote the students' language development.

This thesis contains a wider discussion on the analytical framework of Classstudies in political science. The purpose is to put Class into the light of a usefulmethodological and theoretical tool when it comes to studies on inequality and political,as well as scientific approaches and explanations to why people have awide range of differences in how they pursue their lives.
