Busts & Booms of Sustainable Fashion
Many influencers glamorize and attempt to persuade the public to purchase excessive amounts of fast fashion on social media. Despite their efforts, a shift in consumer attitudes has emerged. Over the past few years, there has been a growing trend of people buying pre-owned clothing, manifesting the rapid growth of the secondhand clothing industry (Enström, 2023). Moreover, since the Covid-19 epidemic broke out, the economic situation in the vast majority of countries has changed, mostly for the worse. This begs the question: Has inflation and the economic situation in Sweden affected the boom of the secondhand industry?
From Ember to Firestorm
Amidst an otherwise peaceful forest, a single spark can ignite the brightest of flames and the hottest of fires. Just as forests are changed by wildfires, so are we changed and molded by our passions. These passions are, just like wildfires, often ignited by a single spark – a lecture, an encounter, a challenge – and can often make us burn more brightly than anything else. Without a fire inside driving us forward and giving our actions a purpose, life becomes unbearably stale. But how do we even go about finding this fire?
In English, Please!
America’s rise as a global superpower in the 1950’s brought on a rapid anglicization of Swedish society. Just a few decades later the English language had successfully outcompeted French and German as the dominating second language and American culture revolutionized cinema, fashion and music. An accelerating world wide globalization made the new world language increasingly important in all sectors.
Addressing Climate Injustice:Unveiling Western Emissions’ Impact and Advocating Interconnected Global Solutions
Climate change impacts the world unevenly, with third-world countries bearing a disproportionate burden of emissions from industrialized nations. Exploring the root causes of this injustice, we note a growing ignorance in advocating for a singular focus on climate change. However, is it not crucial to recognize that addressing global challenges requires attention to interconnected problems? This argument ́s logic will be presented in our journey ahead.
Being Overwhelmed
During the last decades a multitude of successful Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, have preached the value of failing in almost every single interview or lecture they give. They claim that they would not be where they
are had they not failed multiple times along the road. Zuckerberg and Musk are just two examples of a very common cliche – the concept of failing fast and failing forward.
