Gender roles and constructions of ideals have long imposed unrealistic expectations on people to behave in certain ways and even be certain types of people. Women, more so, than others. Ideals of womanhood, what it means to be a woman, a good woman, a new woman, have required women to perform who they are at all times. The imaginary of the “New Woman” is only of these ideals that has been around g

Bilförmåner har kommit att bli ett allt vanligare upplägg i både svenska och danska anställningsförhållanden. Med bilförmån menas att arbetsgivaren tillhandahåller en tjänstebil till arbetstagaren som denne kan bruka privat, ofta istället för kontant lön. Samtidigt bygger båda ländernas rättssystem på neutralitetsprincipen, där varje inkomst i inkomstslaget tjänst ska beskattas lika oavsett om detABSTRACT Over the past few years company cars have become a more and more useful and prominent component within the Swedish employment conditions. A similar development can be seen in Denmark.

In a profit-dominant narrative/world and a commodifying social-ecological system, the interactions between humans, environment and nature show us complex inequity and effects on the interwovenness of human health and the health of the environment.
