Someone in a Scandinavian country is probably well informed of how terrible it is for the poorest and most vulnerable outside their country. The indexes are probably the same.
The person in the Scandinavian country, when asked this question, will think "hmm, well I am not in America, so I will add 3 steps to my answer" and, och se där, up they go to the top of the World Ranking.
- oakhaven 9mo agoI don't think that people in Scandinavia are well informed about how life can be for the poorest outside of their country. > bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life >>>for you<<<. ..and when asked this, I believe they consider how bad it can get for them in their country. Based on my experience living and talking with people in Scandinavia and eastern europe.
- mvdtnz 9mo ago"Scandinavians don't know that poverty exists" is a pretty wild claim.
- haritha-j 9mo agoTrue, although i do think its likely that its not top of mind. When things aren't relatable, its hard to take them into account in everyday life, even when you're factually aware of it.
- oakhaven 9mo ago> When things aren't relatable, its hard to take them into account in everyday life, even when you're factually aware of it. Yes, This is what I failed to express in my previous comment.
- SiempreViernes 9mo agoSome might do that, but hopefully most people read the question properly and see it specifically asks about the situation for you, so thinking about the starving children in Gaza is not part of the question.
