Attitudes Toward HazaragiJamal, Abedin 01 May 2010 (has links)
This study examined the attitudes of young educated Hazaras towards Hazaragi, a politically low-prestigious language spoken in Afghanistan. The instrument included a questionnaire made of Attitude questions and Descriptive questions. The respondents expressed their beliefs about the linguistic entity of Hazaragi, desire to maintain Hazaragi, value of Hazaragi, and domains of use of Hazaragi. The results showed that half of the Hazaras who participated in the study considered Hazaragi to be a language whereas the other half did not. The majority of the participants demonstrated a commitment to maintain Hazaragi and to speak Hazaragi. With regards to domains of use, Hazaragi was considered most suitable for casual settings and use with friends. For formal contexts, such as university lectures or a government office, Dari was considered more appropriate. Gender differences were examined through independent t-tests which showed that the attitudes and perceptions of male and female Hazaras did not differ significantly. Although significant gender differences were not found, the male participants had an overall more positive attitude towards Hazaragi than the female participants.

Don't be evil : En studie av Googles varumärkesstrategi och användaruppfattningarHallberg, Catherine, Eriksson, Sara January 2016 (has links)
Företaget Google är i dag ett av världens mest kända varumärke och deras sökmotor står för 70 % av internetsökningarna i USA och 90 % i Europa. De har lyckats få en dominans på sökmotorsmarknaden framför sina konkurrenter som Yahoo, Ask och Bing. Människor över hela världen använder flera utav Googles tjänster varje dag och många av dem reflekterar inte över den makt som Google har. Kan den här monopolliknande positionen Google har vara så pass transparent att användarna inte ens reflekterat över det? Vår önskan med uppsatsen är att ge läsaren en inblick i Googles varumärkesstrategi och hur användarnas attityder är gentemot företaget. Vi vill ta reda på om användarnas attityder stämmer överens med vad Google vill kommunicera till sina användare och om användarna reflekterar över den maktposition och dominans Google har på internet. För att samla empiriska data, valde vi att göra en webbenkät som besvarades av medie- och kommunikationsstudenter på Högskolan i Jönköping. Utifrån resultatet kunde vi konstatera att en stor del av respondenterna är väl medvetna om den dominans och maktposition som Google har på marknaden. Trots denna medvetenhet har vi inte sett detta påverka respondenternas generella attityder om Google som företag. Däremot kunde vi urskilja viss skepticism hos respondenterna när det kom till en del av Googles funktioner. / Google is today one of the world’s most known brand and their search engine stand for 70 % of the internet searches i the U.S. and 90 % for those i Europe. That means that they have managed to reach monopoly on the search engine market prior to its competitors such as Yahoo, Ask and Bing. People all over the world use several of Google’s services each day and many of them doesn’t reflect over the power that Google has. Can this monopoly and their positions of power be that translucent that the users don’t reflect on it? Our desire with this thesis is to give the reader a deeper understanding about Google’s marketing strategy and about the user’s attitudes towards the company. We want to find out if the attitudes of the user’s correspond to what Google wants to communicate to its users. We also want to find out if the users reflect any on the monopoly and positions of power that Google has on the Internet. To be able to gain empirical data, we chose to design a web-based survey and had media and communications student at Jönköping University to answer it. From the results we found that a large proportion of the respondents is very much aware of the monopoly and positions of power that Google has on the market. However, despite this awareness we could not see that this affected the user’s general attitudes towards the company. On the other hand, we could notice some skepticism when it came to some of the functions of Google’s services.
