زمینه فرهنگی
The concept of 'friluftsliv' (outdoor life) often involves 'å sitte stille' by a campfire or a lake. It is considered a high-quality social activity to sit in silence together. There is a strong emphasis on 'arbeidsro' (work-peace). Students are taught from a young age that 'å sitte stille' is a sign of respect for others' learning. Norwegian management style is often consensus-based. 'Sitte stille i båten' reflects a preference for stability over aggressive, individualistic moves during uncertainty. In public transport, Norwegians are known for 'sitting still' and keeping to themselves. Moving around or talking loudly is often seen as intrusive.
