However, identity theory predicts that deviating from prescribed gender behaviour causes discomfort, and therefore a woman could compensate for vi
Climate scientists argue that the world’s increasing CO2 emissions are damaging for humans and the planet. If this is true, then how come governments are not rushing to provide sufficient incentives for a fast transition into renewable energy?

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i vad retoriken och pedagogiken kan ha för nytta av varandra.

I gränssnittet mellan de båda ämnena finner vi vad de har gemensamt och vad de borde ha gemensamt. Uppsatsen utforskar två områden. För det första komme

Caroline Arvaker Utan naturen kan vi inte leva I naturen finns alla våra resurser vilket gör den viktig att skydda. Detta är en gemensam värdering hos ett antal unga utomeuropéer boende i Malmö. Dock leder inte pro naturella värderingar alltid till ett miljöengagemang i handling, det finns andra faktorer som spelar in. I mitt masterarbete har jag genom intervjuer undersökt hur tio utomeuropéer ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine how young adults with non-European background and with an upbringing in a city associate to nature and what may have influenced these associations.
