뜻
Ignoring an obvious problem.
문화적 배경
Danes value 'ærlighed' (honesty) in professional settings. Sticking your head in the bush is seen as a sign of weak leadership. There is a shared cultural trope of the 'silent, avoiding male' who sticks his head in the bush regarding emotional issues. The term 'Ostrich Effect' is used globally in behavioral finance to describe investors who avoid looking at their portfolios during a market crash. Political cartoonists in Denmark frequently use the ostrich/bush imagery to depict government inaction.
