In American culture, taking a chance is often expected and celebrated as part of the 'American Dream'. In Japan, taking a chance that might disrupt group harmony is often discouraged compared to Norway. Brazilian culture often embraces 'dar um jeito' (finding a way), which involves taking many small chances.
