Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Scandinavian Languages, grade: 1, 7, Göteborg University (Cultural Sciences), course: Scandinavian Studies: Cultural and Social Perspectives, language: English, abstract: This essay provides insights about the myth and realities of Swedish culture – concerning sexuality and nature, Christmas, Midsummer, marriage and raising children as well lagom and standing in line.
Many traditions, cultural habits and customs provoke a counteraction, a rebellion so to say. This might be the case in Swedish restrictiveness as well, when you look at young Swedes going out on a Saturday night. They are loud, drunk, refuse to form an orderly queue and they are certainly not always well-behaved, but more like children finally allowed to play outside after being held in a boring classroom all week.
