Excuse me, but what is this based on? Do you perhaps mean small communities? Because I can tell you from my experience being Swedish in Sweden (~9M inhabitants)

Excuse me, but what is this based on? Do you perhaps mean small communities? Because I can tell you from my experience being Swedish in Sweden (~9M inhabitants), that your assumption seems to be false.
- Zirro 12y agoI'm Swedish too, and I disagree. I have often heard that Americans (and others) are surprised at the willingness of most Scandinavians to follow the official and unofficial rules of society. We are likely blind to it as we experience it every day.
- ersii 12y agoWhat are you disagreeing with? The question of what Hermels assumption is based on? I'm open to the idea that my opinion regarding the environment I live in might be biased/skewed and I might not see a representative part of the society or that I be ignorant about what I see; that's why I asked what Hermels assumption was based upon. P.S Was there any tone to my initial post?
- jtfairbank 12y agoStudying in Sweden right now. Compared to the states your countrymen are much more conscientious of each other and public spaces. I joke with my friends that they could get away with soooo much more, but the fact is that everyone takes some more personal responsibility than we see in the states.
