Essay On The Differences Between Norway And The Usa

I was surprised at how similar Norway and the U.S. are. Now, don’t get me wrong they are complete different nations with different governing styles and beliefs, but that’s what surprised me about the similarities. Both countries struggle with teens being on the phone a lot, and Norway is very patriotic just like the U.S. Norway’s teenagers are just like us which was apparent with the person I interviewed who was a teen from Norway but had also spent two years in the U.S. He said his favorite food was (homemade) pizza rolls, which I’m sure many teenagers in the U.S. would love as well.
If I was to visit Norway I would want to do everything I could. I would first want to see the oh-so-famous fjords of Norway. To look at the alluring nature that Norway holds within it’s borders. I would also want to see the urban cities, and see how much scandinavian/norwegian culture affected the major cities. To see what kind of restaurants and stores they have, and how that compares to the U.S.
could import aspects from Norwegian culture, I would suggest that they import the aspect of having to know someone before you became friends. I think that strangers in the U.S. are too invited and the cautiousness around random people has quietly faded to almost nothing. Norway has an unspoken rule that you must know someone before you try and make friends with them. Like if you have the same class together or the same extracurriculars together. This would not only encourage U.S. students to stay in school, so they could maintain and expand their friend group, but also to get more involved in extracurriculars, sports, clubs, and local events. That way they would make more friends and do something that they like, and it makes them have to make an effort instead of just messaging them on
