I denna uppsats undersöker jag Scanlons värdeteori, med fokus på hans syn på intrinsikalt värde, och då framför allt frågan huruvida människolivet kan sägas ha intrinsikalt värde. Genom att först grundligt presentera Scanlons värdeteori – hans hänskjutande redogörelse för värde (eng. Buck-Passing) - och sedan släppa fram kritiska röster, resonerar jag mig fram till en grund att stå på i denna värd

Ett mycket omdiskuterat fenomen i svensk doktrin är när aktieägare åläggs ett ansvar för aktiebolagets förpliktelser trots ansvarsbegränsningen i 1 kap. 3§ ABL. Detta fenomen har kommit att kallas för ansvarsgenombrott. I två nyligen avkunnade hovrättsdomar har ansvarsgenombrott använts för att motivera ett sådant genombrott av 1 kap. 3§ ABL. Båda rättsfallen behandlade bolag vars enda syfte var

Produced by the current rise of concerns around climate change and environmental crisis, this shift seems

The purpose and aim of this study is to investigate the definition of GaaS business model, distinguishing its function from the strategy. Furthermore, the key components of the model are established based on
Sustainable development requires a change of values, norms, and capabilities within individuals and societies, and education is a crucial means to achieve these goals.

Thus the question is how s
Through Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory, I analyse how the Sweden Democrats fixate the parliamentary discourse on immigration. Also, I investigate what the other parties’ role are is in this fixation, and how they can limit the Sweden Democrats’ influence over the discourse. My material consists of parliamentary debates from 2010 to 2012. My main conclusions are that the Sweden Democrats dest
