The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge of individualism also how individualism is applied in a teacher?s classroom. Based on the curriculum, teaching is tailored to each and every student?s expectations and needs.  My research has been qualitative and includes four interviews with practicing teachers in two multi-cultural schools in the city of Stockholm. I have investigated how these four teachers perceive individualism, also how they individualize when teaching to meet all students' expectations and needs according to them.

Dagens organisationer verkar på en marknad präglad av hård konkurrens om såväl marknadsandelar som kompetent personal. Detta ställer krav på kostnadseffektivitet samt lojala och engagerade medarbetare. Ett fenomen som visat sig kunna bidra till just detta är commitment, som beskriver den anställdes bindning till organisationen. Individens värderingar i förhållande till commitment är delvis outforskat. Individualism är ett ramverk av värderingar som bland annat beskriver individers relation och identifikation med grupper.

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att underso?ka hur den nationella kulturen pa?verkar marknadsfo?ringens utformning. Vi har anva?nt oss av tre kulturella dimensioner ? horisontell individualism, vertikal individualism samt vertikal kollektivism ? fo?r att se om det finns spa?r av de attribut som representerar de kulturella dimensionerna i marknadsfo?ringen. Underso?kningen har baserats pa? en inneha?llsanalys av bankers reklamfilmer, som ha?mtats fra?n ett land av respektive kulturell dimension.

Social media on the internet allows both public and private actors to communicate with each other. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the relationship between the public and the private in social media on the internet, specifically with emphasis on the identities which are shaped in this relationship. The social media explored in this study is the micro blog Twitter. Data was collected from the pages of three public and private actors on Twitter, specifically with concern to their interaction with public and/or private actors. The data was analysed with support in sociological theories on modernity, identity, self-identity, socialisation and Erving Goffman's theories on everyday expression.

Skolämnet idrott och hälsa är ett ämne där både individualism och socialisation kan komma till uttryck. Forskare menar att det är ett lämpligt ämne för att träna på socialt lärande. Samtidigt kan en tävlingsinriktad idrottsundervisning skapa ett motsatt socialt lärande. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att undersöka spänningen mellan individualism och socialisation inom ämnet idrott och hälsa i årskurs 7-9. För att undersöka detta använder vi följande frågor; Hur uttrycks spänningen mellan individualism och socialisation inom ämnet idrott och hälsa utifrån ett styrdokumentsperspektiv?Hur uttrycks spänningen mellan individualism och socialisation inom ämnet idrott och hälsa utifrån ett idrottslärarperspektiv?Hur uttrycks spänningen mellan individualism och socialisation inom ämnet idrott och hälsa utifrån ett elevperspektiv? I studien intervjuades tre idrottslärare som undervisar i idrott och hälsa i årskurs 7-9 samt sex elever som går i årskurs 7-9.

This essay addresses the issue of stress by income earners in Sweden 18-64 years old and any possible relationship to their social ties and the individualization process. The data were collected through a questionnaire, sent out to about 185 working men and women. The results showed a relationship between fewer social ties in everyday life and perceived stress of the individual. The result also showed a relationship between higher degree of individualization and stress. Both of these correlations is confirmed by previous research on the concept of work-life and theory of the new individualism.One of the most interesting results the study showed was that there was none relationship with gender and perceived stress in the individual.

Syftet med följande arbete är att få en bild av vilka signaler de intervjuade eleverna uppfattar att skolan sänder dem angående kollektivism och individualism. Uppfattar eleverna sin skola som främst kollektivistisk eller individualistisk? Vidare undersöks vilken typ av beslut eleverna uppfattar att de har inflytande över i skolan. Arbetet ger en översikt av delar av för ämnet relevant forskning, främst med fokus på samarbete mellan elever och mellan lärare, och av de delar av läroplanen som kan relateras till kollektivism/individualism samt elevinflytande i skolan. Först har en pilotstudie genomförts, med hjälp av en enkätundersökning.

Health and fitness are two controversial and not easily defined topics that affect people in our modern society every day. We believe that we can find a link between individualism, globalization and the stress concerning weight and appearance ideals. Our bodies have turned into a popular subject for the media, and there is no indication that the interest will decline. As the world gets more artificial, "natural" ideals are getting more attention, such as the concept of a strong and healthy body. But there is also a downside, for example with health issues such as cardiovascular disease increasing following the birth of high-fat diets.

The research of organizational structure and control in the audit profession suggest that there is a contradiction in that auditors should both nurture collegialities while they at the same time have their own responsibility for their individual development and career. This creates a competitive situation among colleagues who in return are expected to maintain a good social relationship and team spirit with each individual. Subsequently, being part of the collegiality and being highly individualistic, gives rise to a theoretical dilemma where these opposing forces are supposed to coincide with each other.The purpose of this paper is to create a bigger understanding of how auditors at major accounting firms can handle the conflict that arises. In order to explore this dilemma, we conducted a qualitative study based on an abductive approach. We have made seven semi-structured interviews from a localistic view.

Denna uppsats grundar i en kvalitativ studie om huruvida det finns kulturella skillnader i danskt och svenskt ledarskap. Studien är baserad på sex personliga intervjuer om hur anställda uppfattar sina ledares beteende. För att analysera materialet har en analysmodell utformats med utgångspunkt i Hofstedes teori om individualism/kollektivism samt maktdistans och Scheins teori om ledarens synliga beteende. Analysen påvisar inga tydliga kulturella skillnader mellan danska och svenska ledare, men tendenser tyder på en högre maktdistans samt en något högre grad av individualism i de danska chefernas beteende..

AbstractSyftet med denna uppsats är att belysa eventuella motsättningar som parrelationer utsätts för i och med dagens individualistiska samhälle då individualism och tvåsamhet kan ses som motsatspar. Vi vill med detta få ökad förståelse för hur parrelationer präglas av samhället och vi har utgått ifrån fyra övergripande frågeställningar nämligen:1. Hur är det att leva i en parrelation idag?2. Hur yttrar sig eventuell motsättning mellan individuellt självförverkligande kontra att anpassa sig till en annan människa?3.
