<p>Abstract</p><p>Title: To work or not to work, an essay about information and inspiration on www.ams.se.</p><p>Number of pages: 39</p><p>Author: Ann Höglund</p><p>Tutor: Peder Hård af Segerstad</p><p>Course: Media and communication Studies D</p><p>Period: Fall 2005</p><p>University: Uppsala University, Department of information science, Division of Media and Communication</p><p>Purpose/Aim: To investigate the frequency of ethos, logos and pathos in the work-guides on www.ams.se, and study how they match the needs of the respondents in the essay-interviews.</p><p>Method/Material: To investigate the needs and wishes for information I have made three group-interviews with university students. In order to analyse the texts and films on www.ams.se I have used tools from the modern rhetoric analysis. In the last part of my analysis I compared the results of the rhetoric analysis and the requests from the interviews to see if and how they match.</p><p>Main Results: The respondents requested inspiration for their future work lives, and information that could de-dramatize the image of working. The texts on www.ams.se</p><p>consist mostly of facts, while the films made a slightly more emotional contribution to the image of the occupation. The films showing relaxed and satisfied people can be seen as a way to de-dramatize the image of working-life. The people in the films offer the viewer a personal perspective on the job, and the texts present facts and information that might be used for further research.</p><p>Key words: AMS, working life, information, inspiration, youths, ethos, logos, pathos.</p>
