Meaning
To support one's view with strong points
Cultural Background
The 'Saklighetsnormer' (norms of objectivity) are central to Norwegian education. Students are taught from a young age to separate the person from the argument. In Norwegian universities, 'argumentasjon' is often evaluated using the 'rød tråd' (red thread) concept, meaning the logic must be visible throughout the whole text. Norway uses a civil law system where written and oral 'argumentasjon' must strictly follow legal statutes (lovdata). Because of low power distance, even a trainee is expected to provide 'en god argumentasjon' if they disagree with a senior.
