सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Norwegians value 'uforstyrrethet' (the state of being undisturbed). Being in one's own world is often a respected boundary. The phrase is now frequently used to describe 'smartphone zombies' in urban areas like Oslo. In the Norwegian art scene, this is a compliment for someone with a unique, internal creative vision. Norwegian kindergartens emphasize 'fri lek' (free play), where children are encouraged to be in their own worlds.
