When comparing the English stereotype with a Norwegian one, in the subject if being polite, you can see a lot of differences, which is expected due to the fact that Norway and Britain are two different countries far away from each other. If we were to check the differentials between the Englishman and the Norwegian one, in the same subject, I would say that the British man would beat the Norwegian into his shoes, metaphorically speaking that is. We could take the example when walking into a grocery store, it’s not often any of the employees here in Norway asks you if you need help, its quite the opposite. You are the one to ask the store clerk for help, even though you’re actually the only one in the store. In Britain the employee asks you the minute you walk into the store. This type of courtesy is good, because you get the feeling of being welcome and appreciated. I would say this type of courtesy is good, due to its affect on ones morale. In another example, if you bump into a stranger in Britain, they always tend to apologize for them selves. If the same thing happens in Norway, people just continue without bothering.

Now I do not know if there is a connection between suicide rates in Norway and in Britain, but it is an interesting thought. The rate of suicides in Norway is nearly twice as high as the one in the Britain.

The Norwegian courtesy isn’t so good as the British, so I do think we have something to learn from the British.

 

When it comes to humour, the British are famous for their well-known Monthy Python humour. It is also differentials when it comes to ones opinion about humour, but I think you could say that the British humour is more sophisticated and is of higher class. The Monthy Python humour was the Middle class humour, and they did often make fun of higher class. The working class humour was more like Benny Hill and you could call it toilet humour because it was stupid and immature. The Monthy python humour catched on easily in Norway, and I would say that the British and the Norwegians have the same sense of humour. I do also believe that the ridiculing type of humour is more attractive Norway. They do make fun of people in the Monty Python to, by all means, but I would say that the Norwegians have a harsher type of humour. We laugh at people falling, we laugh at people with disabilities and they do even get ridiculed on television. There’s a certain thing we should think about before we laugh. Are we laughing at them or with them?

In my opinion the British humour is the best one. Here are

some lines from “Fawlty Towers”

 

Quoted from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072500/quotes

Basil Fawlty: This is typical. Absolutely typical... of the kind of...

[shouting]

Basil Fawlty: ARSE I have to put up with from you people. You ponce in here expecting to be waited on hand and foot, while I'm trying to run a hotel here. Have you any idea of how much there is to do? Do you ever think of that? Of course not, you're all too busy sticking your noses into every corner, poking around for things to complain about, aren't you? Well let me tell you something - this is exactly how Nazi Germany started. A lot of layabouts with nothing better to do than to cause trouble. Well I've had fifteen years of pandering to the likes of you, and I've had enough. I've had it. Come on, pack your bags and get out.

 

 

 

 

About how they dress in Britain, they dress a little more in style, and I do believe that they do care more about how they look than we do in Norway. I don’t think you often see the British stereotype with a black coat, a cane and a bowler hat, but the clothing style is more sophisticated in Britain. You do also have those who want to go against the stream, in both countries. The gothic kids, gangster, punks etc, but if we were to check the main differentials between how to dress in Britain against how to dress in Norway, the main difference would be the dress codes. The most common thing for a man to wear to work is white shirt, tie, black tuxedo pants and black shoes. The most common for a woman to wear for work is a skirt twin set and pearls. If you manage to wear wrong clothes to wrong occasions, you have done the big thing. An example for this strict dress code you can see in Norway to. In Statoil’s main office in Trondheim, you can see who’s British and who’s not. They do always come in the typical British clothes, and they separate themselves from the other workers there by following their dress code.

I would say that there is a huge difference between the ways of dressing in Norway and in Britain. In Norway there isn’t any strict dress codes, this of coarse depends on the work sitiuation. The usual thing to wear to work in Norway is a sweater in a neutral colour and pants in blue colour. This goes for both the genders.

 

If we were to check how the British likes animals against how the Norwegians like animals, there would be a lot of similarities. The most common house animals are dogs and cats in both countries. If it’s one thing that the British are very up to, it is animal protection. The well famous sport of hunting foxes were banished a time ago. They are also good animal keepers and they treat their animals with respect.

Hvilken klasse går du i? Det er nok ganske mye mer enn litt småting som bør rettes opp der, men alt avhenger jo litt av hvilket nivå du er på (altså, hvilken klasse du går i).

Takk for tilbakemelding, men du kunne vel ikke ha vært litt mer konkret? Jeg går Vg1
