Published: 03 Sep 2010 13:37 GMT+02:00Updated: 03 Sep 2010 13:37 GMT+02:00 Taking inspiration from comments make by readers of The Local, US exile Doug Lansky offers up ten more distinctly Swedish habits which often give expats plenty to talk about. A few weeks ago I wrote a piece in The Local about quirky Swedish habits. As one reader (username: bungle) commented: "I could make a long list against the UK and the US too, but what's the point? " The point, dear Bungle, is that these little cultural traits are what differentiate us.
And now that our increasingly homogenized planet is bursting with McDonald's and H&M stores, these quirks should be considered as cultural nuggets. They're also fun. And many of these things may either go unnoticed, or we were so busy being a polite observer we might have repressed a laugh when we first saw it, then gotten used to it. The idea isn't to take them so seriously. There were over 100 comments on that previous article, many with fun insights. 1. 2. 3. Åke Daun. Åke Daun, född 1936, professor emeritus i etnologi vid Stockholms universitet, innan dess professor vid Nordiska museet (1981-2001). Han är också författare till ett flertal böcker. Förändring, arbetarprotester och förortsliv[redigera | redigera wikitext] Daun bidrog starkt till förändringen av svensk etnologi, vilken inleddes från slutet av 1960-talet.
Etnologiämnet i Sverige blev från den tiden mer sociologiskt och antropologiskt inriktat. Hans viktigaste bidrag till denna utveckling var Upp till kamp i Båtskärsnäs (1969), där arbetarprotesterna vid nedläggningen av ett sågverk i Norrbotten beskrevs, samt doktorsavhandlingen Förortsliv (1974), där livet i Vårberg, Stockholm beskrevs. Daun har efter dessa studier givit etnologiska bidrag till planeringen av olika bostadsområden[1]. Svensk mentalitet[redigera | redigera wikitext] I Svensk mentalitet (1989) menar Daun att det finns ett antal personlighetsdrag som kan sägas karaktärisera svenskar i allmänhet.

(An aside: Check out Sam article here and Courtney’s article here as we blogging-style discuss our own opinion about Simplicity and Courage) (2nd Aside: Don’t forget to check out week 2 of OngoingConvo) It takes courage to run into a burning home to save a person. It takes courage to tell someone you have been beaten, physically and/or emotionally, to stop what they are doing.
It takes courage to quit your job with $3k in the bank. It does take courage to take control of your life, but simplifying your life is just one of the millions of ways to do so. How I Know This Courage is something I like to think I have. When I began simplifying my life, I found that this small action was capable of making major life changes. It took courage for me to accept the fact that I needed change. Not Bashing Simplicity I want to make sure you realize that I am 100% in favor of simplifying one’s life. Be courageous by making whatever change you need in your life. Thesimplerlife | live consciously. How to Be Adventurous. Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.– Howard Thurman Life is meant to be an adventure. If your life is anything less than interesting and inspiring to other people, you’re doing something wrong. The range of possible thrills and spills at your disposal is limited only by your imagination and the choices you make.
You are not too old. Right now is the only moment you ever have. While many people will say that some of these things are out of their reach, the truth is that you’re only ever either taking action to achieve a specific goal, or making excuses for why you aren’t. Still, for a lot of people these goals will seem a bit “over the top” for their current life situation. What can you do right now, this afternoon or tonight, to increase your adventure quotient? In fact, it’s something I’m going to do tonight. Throw Yourself Into the World The Benefits of Soloing. Radical Honesty. Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.– Thomas Jefferson Deception is cancerous. The first mutation of a truth charts a path to colonize its host. One fib demands another, two lies need the proof of two more, until eventually even the most innocent half-truth metastasizes into a falsehood requiring surgery. A lie is a deliberate attempt to fake the nature of reality.
So a scientist who reaches a flawed conclusion through an error in her experimentation method may hint at incompetence, but she is not lying. But a guy who trades his own happiness for a fat paycheque and calls himself “successful”, must be charged with first-degree bullshit. His deception may succeed temporarily but he has not altered the facts, and the moral transaction is still charged to his account. Why is faking the nature of reality bad? When the disconnect with reality comes from a genuine error, the mistake is open to correction. The safe haven from the perils of denying what is, is radical honesty. Dead Man Walking. Dead Man Walking: Wade Davis and the Secret of the Zombie Poison By Patrick D. Hahn Accepted on September 4, 2007 Twenty years ago, Wade Davis rocked the anthropological world with his claim to have discovered the secret formula that can turn human beings into zombies.
The word zombie comes from the Kongo word Nzambi which means “spirit of a dead person.” These stories were derided as a racist myth by Haitian intellectuals and ignored by the scientific community at large, until a case of reported zombification came along that was too well-documented to ignore. The facts of the case of Clairvius Narcisse are as follows: on the 30th of April, 1962, at 9:45 PM, he checked himself into the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in the town of Deschapelle in the Artibonite Valley of Haiti. On the morning of May 2 his two attending physicians, one of whom was American and the other American -trained, pronounced Clairvius Narcisse dead. Freedom came two years later. Most of the time, that is. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Wade Davis. Davis is an Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society. Named by the NGS as one of the Explorers for the Millennium, he has been described as “a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet and passionate defender of all of life’s diversity.”
