As an American I have never watched Norwegian TV. Today I am very excited to watch a segment from the show Sånn er Norge called My Gift to America hosted by Harald Eia. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
Norwegian often have a closer relationship with the parents since it's not too much expectations due to money.
As Norwegian parents of four, we have of course also shown an interest in our children's career choices, and we have had discussions about which path they should choose. The difference is that our children themselves are free to choose whether they want to listen to the advice we as parents give. It helps them enter their studies with a different motivation because it is ultimately their own choice. Our children quickly became independent, and have never come to us to ask for money. On the other hand, we help them financially if we understand that they are struggling, but that is something else. They will fend for themselves.
As a Norwegian a agree with you 👍🏽👍🏽and a just found this channel with T. Walker and it's so much fun to see, hugs from Oslo🫂🫂
How does it feel to have won the lottery of life being born there? I can't afford education, my workplace is like a prison, my health is shit and I can't afford to fix it, my mental health is in the gutter and alcohol and cigarettes are my bandaid, my only option to get out of poverty is doing something that is legal in my state, but not legal federally, and I could potentially get 20 years in prison minimum for what is ultimately a plant. Not to mention we're surrounded by gun violence, hate, and animosity for each other.
It's the same in all nordic countries! Free education!!!🎉
The fact you are surprised that Scandanavians use English is surprising 😂 !!!!
I was already fed up with school from day one at first grade elementary in 1984, but I had good grades.
It was not the education itself that put me off, but it was the constant bullying from the other students.
I am an introvert, and wore glasses. I was studying hard, and came out decent enough.
After nine years of this mandatory bullcrap, it was enough school. I started working at the bus service station at the age of 16.
Those old co-workers there were a nightmare to be around, but I brushed them off. I've been bullied before.
I don't take sh*t from no one anymore. Get lost. I am a free man now.
Harald Eia is a sociologist and he had his own science/comedy show , since he's a comedian as well.
Wrong he is not a sociologist. He is a Comedian. And a failed Comedian at that. He has never been funny. He is just annoying.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harald_Eia
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 He is a sociologist....and the rest is your opinion.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 couldn't disagree more 😂
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 He was one of the biggest comedians (maybe the best with his co worker Bård Tufte) of Norway in the 90s to the late 20s. now that he and his co worker is getting older they want to do more normal shows and usually just do jobs as show hosts on tv now.
Let's put it like this. I've talked to quite a few Americans who tell me that free school and health care (and a otherwise great welfare) is too expensive for the US - given the population. We say: You can't afford NOT to! The consequences of not having these rights causes quite a few situations that cost a LOT more; Crime, long period sick leaves, suicides, not contributing to taxes, straining the hospitals, homelessness, drugs, mental illness, long period support of general support - and if adding a rather sluppy gun controll; School shootings.
... and ends up being more expencive for the gov overall cuz of all the cons.
Enig!
It has other consequences too. Like we learned from The Good Nurse-story where commercial hospitals knew that one of their nurses were killing patients, but they couldn't afford to let that become known, so they just fired him and passed him onto another hospital. Similar things with corruption in the police. The biggest driver of cost of healthcare in the US is the need for insurance. It's extremely expensive. An American doctor might pay more in insurance than a Scandinavian doctor makes in a year. That has to be paid by the customers. And then a hospital that hires a doctor needs insurance for that and so on. It adds up.
Tyler, this guy is a comedian, but also has an extraordinary high IQ and alot of education, so he knows what he is talking about. Love that you found this, cause you get to see one of our best comedian at his finest! Were he combines his comedy with his brains 🧠 Love this!
High IQ according to whom? You?!
Do you know how much IQ is needed to urinate on yourself? He knows..
In Sweden the government is paying for university AND give you a student loan for your living costs and a small student grant that you don’t have to pay back. I belive its the same in Norway
Niks
Hej! Yepp the same as our sweet brother in east ;)
Yes, it's the same in Norway. It's limited to 8 years of university I think.
Once again you learn Murica ISNT the world
Poor and rich are more equal to get education
Indeed! I don’t know why Eia bypassed that point. Free education is one of the greatest equalizer between rich and poor. Which I think is an even more important
point to make than meddeling parents.
And the student gets money while they study
In Scandinavia your boss is not your boss but your colleague. The ask you, as a worker, can we do it better
It depends! Not all bosses are the same,not all working places are the same! That is very naive claim. We have a lot of terrible bosses in Norway,and honestly it should not be bosses but good leaders.
You have to read ,Mine condemned fatherland by Thomas Seltzer. It is a eye opening book. He has also a documentary cold UXA . He is american/norwegian living in n
They stormed the Bastillen in France 1779. I think
I was laughing my ass of during Harald Eias praise because I knew the roast would soon be coming 😂
Scandinavian countries seems to have an much better prison model than US, for example Norway has a recidivism rate of 20% while the United States has a rate of 76.6%, The American system focuses on punishing the prisoners. Norway, on the other hand, focuses on rehabilitating their prisoners, on other hand the America is one of the most populated country in the world so things will be a lot different anyway but if you treat humans like animals in prison they will become animals when they get out and back to society of course a lot of factors affect the recidivism rate
I was a single Mum, periodically without a job due to health .
My son went as much to school as he cared, and went on to university. Our fellow contrymen saw to it he got a cheap appartment close to uni, paid he's fees AND money enought to survice (almost) while studying.
Now he owes society... and he KNOWS it!
and I can't black mail him 😐 and he knows it 😉
Norwegian here. There's ups and downs with both models. In USA there's a lot more options (like more private education and healthcare) which gives a lot more diversity of thought, more research free from ideological constraints, in addition to more free choices for the students/people. Government in Norway basically decide what research gets funding, and so what the government finds politically "good" will get funding, and what the government finds politically "bad" won't get much (or none at all). Regarding the quality of government healthcare it has been good in the past, but problems have definitely surfaced during the last 20 years or so. There's a bit of a crisis regarding overworked doctors and nurses, resulting in many quitting their jobs, and so goverment healthcare-institutions lack the personnel they need, which in turn results in poorer healthcare-quality, and waiting-in-line for the patients for maybe 3-6 months before you get the life-saving operation you desperately need, or the life-saving medicine you need (due to the financial cost). That's just some of what this bragging video by Harald Eia don't mention. I think the saying seems to be true after all; There just is no "freedom machine". Nothing is really just free. Either you (or your parents) fund it yourself, or the government does, but then again; who funds the government? And who then are pulling all the strings? I think the kind of argument Harald Eia presents just as easily can be flipped, to say something like; Who gets to be the boss deciding your choices and options? Will it be you (or your parents until you're old enough) or the government? If it is the government, then do you get more or less free? More or less independent? Have you just substituted your parents with the government? Maybe the government won't be demanding the same way your parents might be, but your parents love and care about you, and the government doesn't really (you're just another brick in the wall for them), and they get to constrain what you learn, research and, in the end, what your job will look like.
Free education lift the buttom, when just about everyone got an education, it create better understanding of the society.
Which in return gives less crime, better understanding of food and health, higher understanding and interest in common/current science and psychology 👍
Another fun fact. This independence and free education also create a wider knowledge of how working struckture function, as in the US there are about 17 steps of learning and understanding of the steps from the buttom to the top in a corporation, where as in the scandinavien countries are just 3
In Norway the individual student usually take up a student loan. It is unusual for parents to pay for any education.
The loan is for living. Food and a place to live.
Also, this person is a comedian and is known for his satire.
We say USA is not a country, it is a company.
represented by the TRUMP stamp xD
Your children need their own Independence Day too.
Can you react to a video called "Norwegian Sesame Street Was Insane!"
His pronunciation is slowly getting better
if you just wait a few seconds now and then, you'll get the answer you're wondering about... OFTEN that happens... I like your videos, but often get a bit put off by your stops and wonders
But that is the point of a reaction video though, to share thoughts and questions along the way. That they are to be answered imminently doesn't matter. I think he is one of the better reactors out there who really understand what reacting is all about. That he runs three different channels under three different last names to react to different countries is a different matter; a bit disingenuous. I mean; fair play as to income sources, but I would have preferred "Tyler reacts to "; wouldn't seem like he was trying to trick us all.
It's so fun watching you react to my country
Heads up:
In Norway, one-third of the enrolled students did not complete their degrees within eight years of first enrolling. (as of March-2023)
Take that into consideration and think about it ....!
nah she drippeng
All the Scandinavien countries have free lunch at all schools, free medical, dental and after high school free trade school and univercities. Student loans provide rent and food money if you need it. Daycare is almost free, depending on your income från 1 year old to 6. They get fed and very well taken care of by educated staff. Sports and culture centrrs have been societies focus since the 50s. That is why Sweden has so many top athleats, the music industry nr.3 in the world! When americans wine about left leaning beeing marxist, socialist comunist, they are really just ignorant. You could do so much better! Its called HR mngt on a national level... ❤️ Stockholm🇸🇪
University was free for foreigners too until a couple of years ago
Pretty sure it still is for people from EEA member states.
The difference in bosses here is that they are not "Bossy". They are really good at letting people have freedom in the workplace. Not everwhere ofcourse. But this is the case in most places. And usually a boss is a friend of the clock to here. Most my old bosses over the years are my friends to this day. And thats normal to.
Time for USA to listen to som "alternative truth"!
At first.. my bad interpretion.. (sorry in advance) "murica is the only place on earth.. the rest is Hollywood or TV shows".. its entertainment and ads, even the news is entertainment.. biased on wich consumer watch wich TV chanell!
Soo.. going frome an freedome loving induvistialistic country, its become a choise between different brand of soap or cerals in USA! Wallmart or Costco, Ford F 150 or a Dodge Ram!

I named my email from one of their skits like twenty years ago.
We are not allways so good, but in all , we have a safe country. But we work for it the hole time😊
When is that video actually from??
The scandinavian model kind of says it Why we are so alike 😉
In Norway there's the same kind of polarisation as in the US. One part of the population wants the government involved in everything - and these guys "want your kids". The other part wants to shrink government into an atom. And the trajectory is that the disagreement will only grow. North/South Korea is a good solution and should be available in every country it seems.
The polarization isn't quite as bad in Norway, there's more grey areas. Even the Right Wing "Fremskrittspartiet" (the Progress Party) are keen on keeping our health care system.
Much better relationship
This show is intended for a different audience lol, that's why it's in English.
He said the same in the Norwegian version
@@janks4608 point being?
Yes even University
Hehe
It,s really stunning that he has forgotten all the video reactions he s done about the Norwegian school system and that universitets in Norway dont charge student for tuition fees.😅
It's an old show
@@TullaRask Yeah it's been over an hour
Stop having any expectations for Tyler to remember things unless he has "learned" it at least ten times😅
@@magnusalexander2965 You must be joking LOL
He does not ONLY react to Norwegian videos... And when you have so much to look at, an oversee, if it should be on RUclips, then you might forget... And he knows it's free threw High school, as he said, but was wondering about higher education. Can not fault him for that.
This guy in the video that is showed is one of our most famous comedians, just saying haha
But do not forget, that he is also one of the most smartest of people we have! He has education after education and reads newspapers from around the world on a daily basis. He is one of the few people in the mensa because of his high IQ. 👍
@@cecilierooos I know dw :)
❤️🇳🇴❤️
4:58 Actually, it will be the some of Nordic countries, since Iceland is there.
Dont forget we get paid when we study. love from Denmark.. ps. norway sucks.. am i right sweden ;) no we all love our scandinavian brothers :)
Try to be a entrepreneur in Norway...that is, _don't_ .
Why the don't? Norway has a relative high ranking in the "best countries for entrepreneurs" and even higher ranking in billionaires per capita.
@@JoppeOSL true..
@@JoppeOSL You don't pay wealth tax on your company's assets, do you? If you did, you would know what I'm talking about.
@@RTC1655 You don't pay wealth tax on assets, no. You pay wealth tax on wealth and it is far less than in the USA, where you have to pay tax on assets whether you have wealth or not.
Hence the absence of Norwegian universities in the Global Top 10, Top 20...
Tyler is such a panderer. If the situation were reversed, his spin would be: "How nice that Norwegian parents check in with their college age kids; American parents are not interested in their kids."
The best universities in America are fantastic, but most people don't go there. Since a college degree is needed for a lot of jobs, keeping them great but exclusive keeps wealth in rich families and prevents social mobility, also known as The American Dream
You are the most dedicated hate watcher I have ever observed.
From swedish perceptive. Both swedish and norwegian parents. We also is VERY fake. We preted to have someting better then we have. I guess is someting with jantelagen. And those we are "more happy in nordic contries."
.. no... we always like to traveling to other contreries. Not only for the weather. We do feel like they are more open and honest. not FAKE.
Pretending to have something better than we have is the opposite of janteloven. Lots of stuff is great about Scandinavia, lots of stuff sucks. Nothing wrong with pointing out what works, and tuition free college is definitely one of them. Not depending on your boss for health care is also pretty sweet. Health care is pretty bad, but better than in America.
No, from a Norwegian here, it's the opposite.
And in my experience, Norwgeinas traveling does not necessarily interact much with the actual people or the culture in the different cultures. Some do of course, but it's mostly just to laze around in the sun(if they go south) or to hike with friends/family.
Norwegian people have a lot of national pride thought, and can sometimes be a bit too prideful(I think).
I agree with you.
And here ladys and gentlemen, we have the swedes 😂 They found their way into another video about NORWAY 🇧🇻😂 They can't STAND, that not EVERTYHING is not about them 😂 To all you swedes......Leave us norwegians alone 🙄 You swedes are not the center of the nordic 😉 And maybe you should learn what the JANTELOVEN is about, because you clearly have no ide whatsover what JANTELOVEN is about 😂 Sorry for my bad english 🥳
And don't you DARE speak on my behalf, my family and friends and norwegians one more time, YOU don't know ANYTHING about us norwegians 🙄 Norwegians actually LOVE traveling in our OWN beautiful country, so please don't EVER think you know anything about us norwegians....Go and sort of your completly destroyed country and leave us norwegians alone 😉
Norways happiness is sliding especially among young people…-
Less than in most of the rest of the world. This is what many Norwegians don't understand. They think prices are high in Norway, but they don't actually know that inflation has been lower in Norway than almost all other countries. We are affected by the world, but the fact that we're able to get through crisis better than most countries, is still a good thing.
@@jeschinstad Actually inflation in Norway is now higher than the Europe are and in UK, has been for some time.
"I didn't know that the American Revolution inspired the world."
"I didn't know that American helped Europe during and after WW2."
Seriously? You're on the cusp of age 30.
In Norway, the side effect of getting most your stuff from the government is apathy, complacency and naivety. Norwegians let the government do all their thinking for the most part. Nowdays, the world is getting getting more totalitarian, and that is also true in Norway. This is eroding trust among the population. The combination of a disbelieving population together with a huge and totalitarian government can make a terrible mix. The norwegian model has worked well because there's been a lot of money. We shall see if it will still work without the money.
Hehe, Norway is getting totalitarian, huh? :) I don't think you have any clue what that word means. Or perhaps you are simply unaware that we have parties like Rødt, MDG, KrF and that we basically never have the same government twice?
@@jeschinstad Actually I know very well. If you have tried starting a party in Norway, you'd know that the police aren't particularly happy about that. Especially if you're against their most important projects, like population replacement. Also, it is a country that practises "Arbeids Verbot", just look at Fjordman. It is a country where the in-group rules large business and have close ties to government. It is a country where the military is politicized with LGPT policies. I could go on, but I suspect that you're fully woven into this thinking, which proves my point. Norwegians don't see it, because it's in their blood. It's only when you oppose the system that you really see it.
Actually - one of the hallmarks of totalitarianism is that it is total. You have you be outside the "totality" in order to see it. Many in the USSR honestly believed it was the greatest direct democracy the world had ever seen.
@@hognetitlestad382 Please seek medical help before you become a danger to yourself and others.
@@jeschinstad Leftie alert. Ok pal. I will back off. Easy now.

- Tell me this, o holy keeper of all knowledge...
How many 'Universities' are there in the USA?
How many 'University Colleges' are there in the USA?
How many 'Scientific Colleges' are there in the USA?
How many of these are state owned and how many of these are privately owned?
This total very much factors in when listing 'Top-3', 'Top-5', 'Top-10', 'Top-20', etc..., etc...
-
The population of a country and the popularity of these higher educational institutions among national and international teenagers and (young) adults also play a very big part in how well certain higher educational institutions do on these lists.

I think Carlin said it best... (NB!...: Paraphrased, of course!)
"The more students who are able to pass, the better the school's reputation will be."
In the case of good quality education, I would have thought that the opposite was more likely to be true, but alas...
-----
hehe, that's a strange conclusion. If it was true that lower funding automatically creates a better university and that people don't matter at all, then shouldn't the best university be totally free?
Dear Silvana. Unis in USA might be great. But how many Usians can afford going there?
@@BizzyX78 Wait, are you paraphrasing George Carlin, the guy that made his ENTIRE comedy routine about roasting American exceptionalism? He would have a field day with someone like you.
Once again Harald Eia over simplifies things. He is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. The parents in Norway still expects reports, and they visit if they can. Many of them stil tries to steer their children towards specific eductations. The difference is, that the final choise is their childrends. And when the choice is made, the parents are expected to support their childrens decision. If it turns out to be wrong, they step in and helps their children as well as they can, until the children are back on their feet again. There is no stupid threats of no inheritance etc. to try to force the children to become what the parents want. They are allowed to make their own mistakes. To learn from life itself.
Info about Norway -- not from Tyler -- likely accurate
Info about America -- from Tyler -- likely inaccurate
Comments from SilvanaDil/userXXX/JoannDavi -- like clockwork; Tyler can't post a video without this person stalking him in the comments. Get a life!
@@ahkkariq7406 I figured this was the same person that spams angry comments. I have only seen the bot name before, but the pattern is exactly the same. Unable to actually write out all the thoughts in one comment because the person behind them is too emotional to wait that long.
Tyler is a wonderful man! I will say Prince charming and En svigermors drøm
