I've been known to frequent that place from time to time
I have trouble believing that our education system is one of the best in the world. The schools are underfunded, badly maintained and outdated learning materials. Teachers fresh out of schoolds are often so poorly trained that they are having trouble teaching away even the simplest of things. Beeing a teacher in this country is not considered a high status and high paying job.
I blame it on american influence through tv and movies
Crime is still "low" in this countrym but it's getting worse. Gangs are forming in the cities, the threshhold for resorting to violence is getting lower for each generation. The quest for easy money and status among the young are starting to show on the statistics. Alot of crimes being committed is also a result of a poor integration policy for immigrants and refugees.

Our economy is pretty good. The interest rate are low, the salaries are high and "shopping" for new housing is almost a hobby for some people. We have alot more money to spend on ourself now then we had 5 years ago. But after we "became rich" on oil from the north sea, we've been doing pretty good for ourselves.
But the good economy is also leaving a mark on the soceity in general. The searc for more money, more luxuries are makin us more conceited and selfish. It's all about status and expensive gadgets now. We're getting soft and greedy.

I'm not too sure about life expectancy, but I think we're not to bad off. But we're getting fatter of course, and lazier. That will show up on statistics in the next few years. But it can also go the other way, since we're so focued on looks and setting an image of perfection. That will lead one group trying to stay healthy, while the other group will glutton on fast food and enjoy life through the stomach and televised entertainment. Only time will tell.
I blame it on american influence through tv and movies, though.
The new language of the next generation of norwegian is the "sms" language. I've never experienced so many young people having trouble with correct spelling and the use of proper grammar. But we can all read and write. Analfabetism is not an issue here, like most countries of the western world. If you are dyslectic, you will recieve help, and it will not hinser you much in your adult life, so I gues it's not a problem. If it where, I blame it on american influence through tv and movies.
So basically, Norway is not the worst place on earth. But from time to time, we tend to be bit full of ourself
But wy don't you pay us a visit, and see for yourself. You will be most welcome
BTW, I don't blame anything on american culture. If we're getting influenced by anything, it's our own fault.
Good night
