Well, in my country we do not hear so much about Norway so much (actually almost nothing), so people do not know about their culture, and I am not the exception. Maybe, due to their location, I know the climate is cold, and always there are snow, so people hava to always wear warm clothesan and have to be inside of their houses. To try to talk about stereotypes of Norway, I had an idea, to ask classmates and friends of the university.
When I asked them what do they know about Norway or how do they look?, most of them said Vikings, and when I asked about stereotypes, they made a association with them, like a Viking culture, or at least influenced by this Norse culture, a supposed cold and “macho” culture. People here, see norwegian people as a culture where the man is the main piece in the society and the women is (as in most cultures) a passive piece, that just obey orders and stay at home taking care of kids. Also, one of them told me that Norwegian are tall, blond and blue-eyed, but I think this a european stereotype, not just Norwegian.
On the other hand, some of my classmates and friends said something about the education, even one of them told me that the best educational sytem is from there . Also they told me Norway is currently one of the most equitable countries (I do not know if those facts are actual). So, they see it like a vey educated country, and equitable.
As we see, there are some ideas about Norwegians, some of them are a little negative: a cold, dark, and isolated place in the far north of the world , and others are more positive: a country educated and equitable.
