Redegør for opbygning af det politiske system i Spanien - herunder Cataloniens rolle.

SRO med Samfundsfag; ondskab og American Psycho
Der ønskes en redegørelse for det senmoderne samfund med særligt fokus på identitet, ondskab og narcissisme. Inddrag relevant samfundsfaglig teori (1-2 sider)
I forlængelse af redegørelsen ønskes en engelskfaglig analyse, med inddragelse af filmiske virkemidler, af klippene “American Psycho - Business Card Scene” og “Morning Routine - American Psycho”. I forlængelse af dette ønskes en analyse af uddraget ”Killing Child at Zoo” fra American Psycho primært med henblik på at belyse romanens skildring af ondskab. Analysen ønskes afrundet med en vurdering af hvorvidt, der er indikationer på at Patrick Bateman, hovedpersonen i American Psycho, lider af vrangforestillinger; inddrag eksempler fra “Morning Routine”-klippet og “Killing Child at Zoo”-uddraget og perspektivér til The Collider artiklen “is it all in Patrick Bateman’s Head in ‘American Psycho’”. (ca. 3-4 sider)
Dernæst ønskes en analyse af, hvordan den senmoderne ondskab adskiller sig fra moderne ondskab. Inddrag samfundsfaglig teori og empiri. ( ca 1,5 side)
Diskutér, hvorvidt ”American Psycho” giver et realistisk billede af de negative konsekvenser ved udviklingen i det senmoderne samfund. Og i hvilket omfang det senmoderne samfund producerer en bestemt form for ondskab. Inddrag samfundsfaglig teori og empiri om ondskab. (ca. 2 sider).

Jamaica (EXAM THEME)
Initially, the commonwealth was covered very briefly: The Commonwealth consists of 53 countries, and it was created when the colonization stopped, so almost all countries in the Commonwealth are former British colonies. The countries in the Commonwealth are independent and have their own language: Jamaican patois. The concept of the Rastafari-movement and the legacy of the Jamaican legend Bob Marley were also explored.
Afterwards we covered the immigration waves from the Carribean to England. The focus was on immigrants from Jamaica from the 1950s and onward, including the Windrush generation and the Windrush scandal and the subsequent apology by then prime minister Theresa May.
Lastly, we worked with the significance of the district of Brixton in London and the gentrification that this district has experienced in recent years.
The course material consists of the following:
"Rastafari Culture" (Blackhistorymonth.org.uk)
“One Spliff A Day” (Natasja Saad)
“Redemption Song” (Bob Marley)
“What is Windrush and who are the Windrush generation?” (www.bbc.com )
Theresa May’s apology to Caribbean leaders (from 2018)
“How has Brixton really changed? The data behind the story” (www.theguardian.com)
“People forget the Windrush generation built Brixton - gentrification is erasing its history” (www.mylondonnews.com)

Shakespeare (EXAM THEME)
We read the following passages from “Romeo and Juliet”:
-The prologue
-Act one, scene one
-Act one, scene five
-Act two, scene one
-Act three, scene one
-Act five, scene three (until Juliet says, “This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die”)
In addition to this we also read three Shakespeare sonnets: sonnet 3, 18 and 130.
The students should have a somewhat thorough understanding of the storyline in “Romeo and Juliet”, and, in terms of linguistics, we zoomed in on oxymorons, rhyming couplets and quatrains.

Transcendentalism (EXAM THEME)
The course starts off by zooming in on the philosophical and literary movement transcendentalism, i.e. concepts such self-reliance, nonconformity and solitude.
We read extracts from "Civil Disobedience" and "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, one of the most important writers from the period of transcendentalism.
Furthermore, we read chapter 1 and chapter 18 from the novel "Into the Wild", watched the movie-version of the novel and worked with the soundtrack of the movie. The connection between the period of transcendentalism and the main character of Into the Wild, Christopher McCandless, was established.
Lastly, we worked with the legacy of "Into the Wild" by focusing on tragic cases in which people have died as a result of their fascination with life in the wilderness.
The course material is the class compendium which consists of the following texts:
Extracts from “Civil Disobedience” (1849) by Henry David Thoreau
Chapter 5 from “Walden; Or, Life in the Woods” (1854) by Henry David Thoreau
Chapter 1 and 18 from “Into the Wild” (1996) by Jon Krakauer
Movie: “Into the Wild” (2007), Sean Penn

State of the Union (EXAM THEME)
The course starts off by zooming in on the Declaration of Independence and the American Dream. In this context Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sha'carri Richardson were used as case studies for someone who has achieved the American Dream and has an American “Mindset”.
Following this, we zoomed in on modern America as shaped by the Pax Americana-period. Thereafter we focused on how J.D. Vance’s "Hillbilly Elegy" can help explain why Trump was elected. Lastly we focused on Trump; his personality traits, and more specifically, his comments about immigration and the affordability crisis as expressed in his State of the Union.
Material list:
