The justice system in Sweden is currently really messed up. Everyday, you can read on Swedish news sites, and on Swedish Twitter accounts how people that are guilty of rape basically never get charged with anything except from maybe a fine. Apparently it does not matter if the female that claims that she has been raped got evidence for it, and the man (the normal accusation, considering there are few men who report rapes) admits that he did it, the man will still walk free.
Is this really how it is supposed to be? So easy for a person to commit a crime and not get charged for them.

Russia, Crimea, Putin
Since the Olympics in Sochi, Russia, ended there have been a big buzz about how Putin is ready to claim the Crimea from Ukraine. I know that I talked to my family back home in Sweden where they slowly started to realize that it, once again, is time to put more resources in to our military defense. No one can ever tell what is going on in President Putins head.
In this article from New York Times, they have interviewed people from Russia and Ukraine. People from Russia thinks that Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union and the parts of eastern Europe that belonged to Soviet before 1954 should once again belong to Russia.
I think this is madness. Aren't we supposed to move forward instead of backwards. I can't think of anyone that wants to go back to the time of WW2. A couple of weeks ago I also read (possibly at the Swedish news site aftonbladet.se) that the Cold War never ended in roughly 1989-1990 it's still going on, which I honestly, is starting to believe as well. In this world, it's all about the country that has the most power, and frankly, Russia has never really had it, so of course Putin is going hard at it to make that happen.
Now, many people from Crimea talks about how they belong more to Russia than to Ukraine, and that it is stupid that Ukraine won't let that part of the country become "independent" (well, be a part of Russia). Even though, Russia don't have the right to invade Ukraine with military etc..
At this moment, there are a lot of demonstrations, both in Russia and Ukraine, and from an outer perspective it seems to be a big risk of a minor war between the countries. And my question is, when is the world police (USA) going to walk in and "fix" the problem?

Arsenal Leaves Nike for Puma
I think it's funny that I the other week wrote a paper (an awful one, missed so many key points) about Puma, and that their biggest competitors is Nike and Adidas. Earlier today I found in my twitter feed, and on the Swedish news site, Aftonbladet, about the big change the London-based soccer team Arsenal is leaving Nike and will start representing Puma.
What I wrote in my paper was that Puma should consider bigger sponsorship to be more recognized to be able to be a tougher competitor towards Nike. And see what happens!

Respectable
A blog that I consider respectable is a blog written by a 22 year old girl that lives in Stockholm, Sweden, named Isabella. She has been blogging since she was 14 years old, and she started off the blog by being a spoiled, provocative brat. Ths was an approach that worked well for her. She got a lot of readers that both loved and hated her. The amount of influence (and money) she got was impressive. When the years passed she had gotten more job offers and more money than any other person under 20 in Sweden ever had got. She started her own business (based on the blog), she got a opportunity to go ta a private business school in Switzerland. She has her own clothing line, she used to be active in Swedish politics, and she gives seminars about entreprenuership. She owns the Swedish blogportal Spotlife that only accepts people that have something to say and are influencial in their specific nich.
Why do I think this girl is respectable?
She has been through so much and she has shared almost all aspects of her life, personal setbacks and personal success. She has so many haters, but she is also become a great role model for young girls, both personal and in media. Isabella is a girl that knows how to speak, she is her own PR person. She does her work with ambition and optimism, and she has grown so much, and learnt even more since she first started her blog.
She writes her blog in Swedish but thanks to a Googl Translate link you can translate the blog in to English. The grammar is not good by doing this, but you will get the context.

Losing the name
I found this article, yet again in Swedish, about how Apple loses their right to the name "iPhone" in Brazil. This because a local company registered the name "iPhone" in 2000, several years before Apple came out with the first iPhone. The Brazilian company did not come out with a Smartphone (Android based) till December last year.
What does this really do to the brand name "iPhone" (Apple) in Brazil?

Public Restrooms for Dogs
I died a little when I read this.
They are going to build public restrooms for dogs just to clean up the streets. I guess not enough people bring black dog poop bags with them when they bring the dog to town.
Article in Swedish (I'm sorry) but you can always use Google Translate.

This is me
For this semsters Public Relations class at Thomas College I needed to start a blog.
I already have a blog, kaufeldt.blogg.se, where I write about my everyday life, unfortunately that blog is in Swedish, mostly because I mainly have Swedish readers.
So, this is me;
Kajsa Kaufeldt from Uppsala, Sweden. Came to America in August 2012 and are a first year student at Thomas College in Waterville, Maine. My major are Communications with a heading on Public Relations and Marketing.
The reason I first came to Thomas College were for soccer but also the opportunity to get a good education within my area of interest.
