Norway & Social Democracy
For my Exposition class. We had to write a paragraph:
___________
Norway, a country in Northern Europe, is a social democracy. The main idea behind social democracy is that everyone has equal rights. This way of thinking started while using foods stamps after World War Two. Most would say social democracy works for the Norwegian population, as the United Nations in 2005 pronounced Norway the best nation to live in. This type of policy has many visual benefits, like free healthcare, a secure retirement, and [public schools and universities. However, being such a homogenous culture and the strong belief in equality and equal ness leaves little breathing room for different personal choices. There is no room for the gifted pupil in the public school. Small business ventures must compete with state owned companies, and even being different than your neighbor is seen as an attack on the institutions of social democracy. The question becomes; is social democracy really worth it?
