Sociala medier har kommit att utgöra en stor del av dagens kommunikation. Organisationer använder dessa i sitt kommunikationsarbete utan att besitta större kunskap om hur verktyget ska hanteras för att nå sin fulla potential. Dagens forskning om sociala medier saknar till stor del ett kritiskt förhållningssätt. Det diskuteras inte om organisationer ska använda sociala medier, utan snarare när och Social media forms a major part of today's communication. Organizations choose to adapt this in their work with communication, but lack sufficient understanding of how the tool should be handled in order to reach full potential. Today's research on the social media largely lacks a critical approach. It is not discussed whether organizations should use social media, but rather when and how.

Under senare delen av 1950-talet utspelade sig i Sverige en livlig debatt om huruvida landet skulle framställa egna atombomber. Tidsmässigt sammanföll detta med vad som kallats "den andra vetenskapliga revolutionen"; en tid präglad av ekonomisk högkonjunktur, snabb teknologisk utveckling och allmän framstegsoptimism. I föreliggande uppsats analyseras hur de svenska atomvapenmotståndarna

Consequently, applying principles from one field may benefit the application of another.
