A Lund and elsewhere in the country, the primary quality of man is the meaning of the measure. Swedish modesty is nothing legendary, it is deeply rooted in national culture. This point is a particular word, lagom, which refers to the idea a fair measure.
In human terms, it is noted as a keen sense of listening, reflection of a collective compliance that makes each word of something harmonious. Each assigns a compliance similar to the idea of others, in an exercise of equal original fort. Nothing to do with the arrogance of French, if you will pay in the self-critical caricature.
Socially, it is noted that this sense of lagom finds expression through the remarkable tradition of social compromise. The ability to develop and enact a compromise seems deeply in tune with this thinking, which certainly does not exist in France. The language of Molière, carried by the momentum of revolutions knows little lagom even if we have the term "measured". But we do not use as absolute and religious. This approach certainly seems more peaceful, as it involves a systematic search of the most consensual. Thus, from the extent of reforms in the 90s in Sweden, which can be essentially reduced to the idea of a wave of privatization, it is likely that the National lagom played a role.
In any case, the lagom seems often forgotten by the Swedes when the drink becomes the concern of the festive Friday. Without doubt can we draw here a slight contrast, the high calling of our gourmet tastings.
Lund to the French.
