   Sammanfattning : This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organizations, but little research has focused on how mindfulness has actually ended up there, having been tailored by mindfulness companies to meet organizational interests.

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to shed some light on the emerging mainstream news discourses connected to marijuana’s legalization in parts of the United States by asking who is most involved in these discourses, what connections involvement may have to social status and social factors, most significantly gender, as well as what a few discursive themes in marijuana-related coverage might be, and what further research could be most needed. The literature review focused on critical theory, as well as feminist journalism studies, celebrity studies, and other research connected to emerging discourses, in an effort to approach a topic with limited prior social scientific research from a social scientific viewpoint.
