The purpose of this essay is to examine how movies portray Judaism in movies made for a large audience. The study used four movies ranging from the year 2009-2018 and that were categorized in different genres with the aim of investigating how relationships that involve people from different religious backgrounds get into conflicts and how these are resolved. The study’s main research question was why the characters in the movies get involved with conflict regarding religion and a textual analysis where the movies functioned as text was used as the method. To present the results the method of excerpt commentary units as known by Emerson was used. The analysis showed that one of the reasons why conflicts are created regarding Judaism is because one part of the relationship lacks in knowledge regarding the religion. Because of this the person ridicules and makes derogatory comments to the other person in the relationship, to the point where conflict is created because the other person in the relationship does not feel respected. The study also showed that these particular conflicts were resolved by the person learning more about the others religion which lead to a more understanding standpoint in the relationship. The analysis also showed that another big reason for conflict in the relationships regarding Judaism was that both parties felt pressure from outside sources, such as family, friends or other significant people. This caused the relationship to suffer because neither person in the relationship would stand up to these outside forces and instead they took it out on the relationship.

Syftet med studien är att uppmärksamma förskollärare verksamma i socioekonomiskt utsatta områden samtalar om sitt arbete kring att inkludera alla barn i en mångkulturell förskoleverksamhet. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna verkställdes med stöd av en intervjuguide och diskussionsfrågor där intervjupersonerna kunde svara fritt. Resultatet visade att det centrala i arbetet med inkludering för mångkulturella barn kategoriseras utifrån sex teman: samtal och aktiviteter som uppmärksammar kulturella olikheter, inkludering genom att arbeta i olika grupper och teman, inkludering genom att uppmärksamma olika språk, besök utanför förskolans arena, interkulturella kompetenser kräver utbildad personal, utmaningar som kan uppkomma i en mångkulturell barngrupp. Det som uppmärksammades och som var avgörande i arbetet med mångkulturella barn var vilka olika strategier förskollärare använde för att inkludera alla barn i socioekonomiskt utsatta områden.

Sweden has developed into a country of ethnic and cultural diversity. Research highlight the importance of reciprocal integration and intercultural venues. Minority and majority population must participate in the process of integration, by mutually accepted conditions. The civil society offers social venues but these venues are culturally segregated which prevent intercultural relationships to develop. Språkvän is a civic organization that takes on this challenge. By examining how reciprocity is created within these intercultural relations, knowledge of how reciprocal integration can develop in practice will be created. Reciprocity is developed through social relationships, and the relationship in its entirety must therefore be studied. Theories of social capital enable the study of social relations, based on three features: a structural, a cognitive and a relational dimension. The aim of this study has been to examine how social capital is created within the intercultural relationships, and participants of Språkvän has been interviewed. Volunteers and newcomers were interviewed in focus groups, based on a qualitative and hermeneutic approach. The study showed that there is a discrepancy regarding expectations of the relationship. In line with previous research the terms of the relationships are not reciprocal which endangers the cohesion and perseverance of the relationships.
