Be more cooperative, more trusting, and more trustworthy, see the best in people, etc. Of course I don't know you so please don't take this as meaning that you personally are not trustworthy. My point is that, in the UK for instance, there seems to be an air of distrust in some English speaking communities that seems not to exist in Norway, at least not to the same degree. I doubt it has much to do with the language. I was born in and grew up in the UK (1955 to 1985) and I'm quite sure that the town where I grew up was then much more similar to the place I now live in than it is now. The country has changed. Of course, I have been outside the flow of things in the UK for thirty years so my view of the current situation probably owes a little too much to the media than it should, so take the specifics with a pinch of salt.
