Just to add an anecdote that reflects on Swedish society values from this weekend. The number one cultural event here is the Eurovision Song Contest within Sweden (to select the representative for the Europe-wide contest). The winner of the popular vote this year was an ex-convict who was considered 'rehabiltated' and always talked about his family. People love the way society helped him when he was down and how he rebuilt himself. It isn't a rugged individualistic notion of how he saved himself, more about how support structures enabled him to change himself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_Omar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_Omar
