Contexto cultural
The 'dugnad' spirit often involves collective choices. While 'å ta et valg' is individual, in a group setting, Norwegians strive for consensus. Norwegian workplaces are egalitarian. Even junior employees are expected to 'ta valg' regarding their daily tasks without micro-management. From a young age, Norwegian children are given 'valgfag' (elective subjects), teaching them the importance of 'å ta egne valg'. Voter turnout is a point of pride. 'Å ta et valg' during 'Stortingsvalget' (parliamentary election) is seen as a core duty.
