How Shame is Used by Norwegians to Force you to Conform

Late to the party, but I have to say if you removed the country name I'd bet my life savings that that this article was talking about Japan. Especially that standing out being bad part, which immediately reminded me of the Japanese proverb "standing nails get hammered down". Kind of depressing, but very interesting.
- I suppose there's no other way to use shame. It's just a question of which cultures do it and to what extent.
Huh, this might be one of the few times I've read something negative about Norway.
- It's a great country, but no place is perfect.
