Contexto cultural
Finns have a high level of trust in authorities and each other. 'On turvallista' is often a default assumption for public services. Finland is a leader in digitalization, so 'turvallista' is frequently used in the context of online banking and data privacy. The concept of 'Turvallisempi tila' (Safer Space) is very prominent in Finnish NGOs and arts organizations. Safety is often discussed in relation to nature—ice thickness, winter tires, and reflectors (heijastin).
