And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships, within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns. At the same time, they are one of the most intellectually progressive peoples in the world. They are always open to new ideas. All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and tradtions.

It is part of the spirit of the life based on a national culture which is wholly Scandinavian. 41. What makes the Swedes one of the most char
