- I am looking for someone to help add substance to myth
- about Sweden and its socialized democracy. I am particularly
- interested in working conditions in large and medium sized
- companies.
-
- Specifically:
-
- 0 Rights of individual workers (and their voice)
-
- 0 Time off from work (vacation, medical, birthing, death, etc.)
-
- 0 Choices for education (post High School, adult re-entry to college
- or any such equivalences)
-
- 0 Political awareness of average citizen.
-
- 0 How government and authority is perceived (feared, respected, etc.)
-
- And there will be more questions. I would like to chat informally but
- to also cover these topics. Sweden is perceived as a political utopia
- around here. I need to feel that I am getting honest answers from a
- REAL person. I'll be more than happy to reciprocate.
-
- I really don't want this to be just a dry discussion between
- sociologists either. We can discuss movies, motorcycles, sex and
- politics as well..
