Mange unge voksne reiser til utviklingsland for å delta på prosjekter som skal hjelpe lokale samfunn og samtidig være en lærerik opplevelse for de som velger å jobbe som internasjonale frivillige. Jeg har tatt reisen til Brasil for å gå nærmere inn på hvorfor unge voksne ønsker å delta i en frivillighetskultur og hvordan det fungerer. Og til slutt sett på hvordan frivillig arbeid og bistandsorganisasjoner ...

Då filosofen Bertrand Russel vart beden om å gje råd til kommande generasjonar, sa han: “Sjå eine og aleine på det som er fakta.” At dette er eit godt råd, er krigen i Ukraina eit sørgjeleg godt døme på.

Different authors within different traditions have taken up this idea to ground a wide variety of principles, ...

The thesis sets out to explore the ways that mood is adapted from Highsmith’s novels The Talented Mr. Ripley (1955) and The Price of Salt (1952) to Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) and Todd Haynes’s Carol (2015), respectively. The aim is to show the diverging ways in which the novels and the films express the quintessential Highsmith story through mood, and to show how these diverging ...

Most main clauses in the Scandinavian languages are subject-initial, which combined with the V2 (verb second) requirement means that the subject is immediately followed by the finite verb.
