Instagram has become a platform where young women spend many hours a day on a daily basis. The app is largely used to publish media content and interact with other people. It is also used to gather inspiration around, among other things, fashion, beauty and interior design. As Instagram has become increasingly popular, it has also become a place for influencers to express their creativity and convey personal content. They are individuals who have a great influence on their audience. Together with companies, they market products and brands that make their followers, often young women, consume similar. Content that young women publish to their surroundings and consumption behavior becomes a large part of their identity creation.   This study is a qualitative study that aims to examine young adult women's identity creation and consumption habits through influencers on Instagram. To find out, two research questions have been studied and answered: How do young adults relate to the commercial intent of influencers' content on Instagram? and What significance do influencers on Instagram have for young adults' identity creation? A total of eight women between the ages of 18-25 were interviewed through a semi-structured interview containing four themes: Instagram, influencers, consumption and identity creation.   The study shows that the young women are aware of the marketing via influencers. Who they choose to follow is reflected in the fact that it is someone they look up to or want to emulate. Content that you want to see is the individual's everyday life in a format that must be genuine. They think that it is too much advertising and often content that creates negative feelings in them. Still, they are affected by it and consume products through discount codes or inspiration they received from influencers that they follow. This contributes to influencers having an influence over young girls' actions and thus identity creation.

This essay explores the use of young adult literature, primarily the young adult novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (2008), and how it creates an educational potential for learning and discussing ethics and ethical dilemmas for upper secondary school students. First, the curriculum for upper secondary school in Sweden is examined and confirms literature as important content of communication in the English subject and what the role of literature can be. Further, the curriculum’s ethical aspects are analysed, and it is affirmed that ethics has a significant part in the Swedish school and the English subject. However, the curriculum does not state how ethics should be taught. Additionally, research is presented and displays the connection between ethics and literature. Suzanne S. Choo’s thoughts and ideas on teaching ethics through literature are the framework of the analysis, and by analysing the ethical themes and issues in The Hunger Games, the aim is to prove the educational potential of teaching ethics with the use of the novel. The novel contains multiple ethical themes and topics suitable for an upper secondary school class, both broader themes regarding social and political issues, and internal ethical dilemmas. In conclusion, the novel appeals to many of the qualities requested in a book by young adults, and the educational potential is promising.
