The Norwegian Dream

Hey guys! Today I have some thoughts about Norway to share with you, about The Norwegian Dream.

What Norwegians think:

I think that people

in Norway “Wants to be like neighbor”. Most people do not want to get rich but

the just want to be normal. They want a normal sized house, a nice car that is

not too expensive or to cheap and to have a cottage in some nice place mountain

with nice ski slopes and great hiking possibilities. I think that another part

of the Norwegian dream is that the government will “fix our problems”. We have

a good and organized welfare system that pick you up if you fall. The welfare

system pays your hospital bills, send you to a shrink if you have psychological

problems, it keeps you of the streets if you lose your job or get sick and ties

to get you a new job that fits you. Aswell as the high taxes tries to keep “the

 rich” form getting too rich. In a way,

the whole society tries to move towards having a big middleclass.

: What the immigrants think

We Norwegians may not think as much about it, but if you

ask the immigrants they would probably answer that they came to Norway because

of the democracy, the economy and the welfare. We have many immigrants in Norway

that was granted political asylum because of things that may have happened back

in their homelands. We think that these people came to Norway for our basic

values and rights.

 The highest priority for the Norwegian people is the

democracy, and the right to vote and help to decide. The other things that we

and the immigrants, think that is very important is how we treat new people and

their rights to get all the good things as the other in Norway already have. Here

in Norway, our highest priority is that everybody is worth just as much as

everybody else.
