Contexto cultural

Janteloven (The Law of Jante) often makes Danes hesitant to be 'i centrum' in a way that seems boastful. Humility is highly valued. In contrast to Denmark, American culture often encourages individuals to 'stand out' and be the center of attention as a sign of confidence. Japanese culture emphasizes 'Wa' (harmony), and being the center of attention can be seen as disruptive to the group dynamic. Brazilian social culture is very warm, and being 'i centrum' at a party is often seen as being a good, charismatic host or guest.
