Does Swedish Culture Hinder Swedish Children?


"Sweden is a country with a strongly rooted culture. Lots of traditions, varying from the singing of “Helan går” to the celebrating of the name day, all serve to preserve and protect a common sense of identity." 

This common cultural identity, coupled with Sweden's climate and geography, serve to keep the country relatively isolated from its European and global neighbors. This isolation, according to this article, has been a detriment to the development of communication skills and had led to a myriad of issues when dealing with those of other nationalities.
