Facebook ja identiteetti : lukiolaisten kokemuksia Facebookin käytöstä

2015

Mediakulttuurin väitetään olevan avainasemassa jäsentämässä nykyisiä identiteettejä ja muotoilemassa ajattelua ja käyttäytymistä erityisesti nuorten keskuudessa. Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin lukiolaisten Facebookin käyttötottumuksia ja pyrittiin selvittämään miten henkilöt rakentavat identiteettiään Facebookin avulla.

Framing Social Work Discourses of Violence Against Women. Insights From Finland and India

Violence against women (VAW) is a global social problem.
