Economic life
  Nordic fairy tale world.
  Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid is Danish, Norwegian North Sea Hero's birthplace, hometown of Santa Claus in Finland, has more than 200 volcanoes in Iceland, is also the birthplace of Nobel Sweden.
  Nordic, a model of the world.
  Finland is the world's economic competitiveness championship regulars, Denmark is the best business investment environment, Norway and Iceland won the national championship happiest, Sweden, the city's most suitable for human habitation.
  Northern Europe is the future of the world.
  Sweden shouted in 2020 to become the world's first oil-free country, the country is struggling to develop alternative energy sources into power a new wave of global competition.
  Nordic American Institute of Global Competitiveness Survey Report, as you learn a small country of great wisdom. See the sludge becomes biogas, wood alcohol refining future energy, taking into account the low carbon dioxide emissions and horsepower performance car of the future, as well as the future face of the city.
  On economic competitiveness, the five Nordic countries lead the world frequently. World Economic Forum (WEF) in the 2006-2007 Global Competitiveness rankings, Finland, Sweden, Denmark include 2,3,4 name, Norway and Iceland will share 12 and 14. Prior to this, Finland had won three consecutive years. And Norway is in the last few years, jumped quickly to global countries with the highest per capita income of about $ 60,000. On the technological innovation, the five Nordic countries are also far ahead. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) survey from 2002 to 2006 the country ranked the world's most innovative, Sweden, Finland and Denmark were the first 4,5,7 name, Taiwan ranked No. 8.
  On the quality of life, despite the harsh conditions of nature, there is ice and snow half a year, but still won by the Nordic. Happy State (Human Development Index optimum countries) the world's most liveable elected United Nations in 2006, according to a healthy life, knowledge, and standard of living of the three indicators do competitions, in addition has continued for six consecutive years winning reelection top Norwegian first 2 Iceland, the other Scandinavian countries are also within the previous 15.
  This is a picture of a "certificate of merit", all reflect the Nordic countries not only economically competitive, innovative entrepreneurs rich, happy life of the people, the environment and suitable for human habitation, to say "the world's strongest competitive in Scandinavia," is also not an exaggeration. But why this corner of the world is located in the five small country today can become a national benchmark for the global competitiveness of the spotlight it?
  Five of the total population of 25 million, but mind the global horizon Cape
  On the size of the five Nordic countries, except Denmark area of ​​43,000 square kilometers, larger than some of Taiwan outside the area and the remaining four countries are Taiwan several times. The reason they modestly calls himself a "small country", mainly because the population thin. The largest population of more than 900 million people in Sweden, Iceland and even minimal only 31 million people, the population of the five countries Cou Cou, just more than 200 million people in more than 23 million people of Taiwan.
  Because consider themselves a small country, the five Nordic countries has not only lock the country, but neither haughty nor humble, more aware of the need to embrace the world with open arms, not from the outside in a globalized economy.
  In the "Virgin of the Declaration" (The Viking Menifesto), a book, two authors Shicui De (Steve Strid) and Andressen (Claes Andreasson) mentioned that the growth hormone receptor in a tiny small Nordic country, it should be a disadvantage, but because small population, a small local market, looking out to inspire more motivation. This makes the five Nordic countries have very little internationalization; For example, the people learn the language quickly adopt new technology quickly into other cultures too quickly.
  黄世嘉 pointed out that the average people of the five Nordic countries are "three words", in addition to the mother tongue of their own country, but also fluent in English, then learn another European language as a second language.
  Roots in education and research and development, to replace resources to rely on the knowledge economy
  In fact, in the past ten years, the five Nordic countries are also facing traditional industries due to cost considerations, and relocation in Eastern Europe, India and China. In order to become rely on the knowledge economy, the five Nordic countries have been seeking to invest in high-quality education and innovative research.
  For example, the Swedish research and development (R & D) expenditures as high as 3.7%, 3.5% in Finland, Iceland 2.9%, the ratio of R & D spending five countries, not only higher than the average of 1.86% in the EU25, more than Britain, United States, Germany and other major powers. Finland more shouted, 2010 R & D spending will reach 4% target.
  Former Finnish Prime Minister Paavo Lipponen has bluntly, Finland rely on resources from a country, developing countries rely on knowledge, education and investment in research is the result of development.
  Aalborg in northern Denmark, there is a (Alborg), a wireless communication network research center, including Finland's Nokia, Siemens, Samsung and other major international communications industry, under the fierce market competition, still are willing to join this joint research _set_tlement .
  Aalborg University, director of radio communications software center Kou Qi (Peter Koch), said joint research is to attract domestic and foreign talent, interactions between innovative ideas to complement traditional Danish industrial relocation hollowing crisis.
  Indeed Nordic technological strength, from telecommunications, heavy industry, military technology, such as the automotive industry, has been very strong over the past century, such as Ericsson, NOKIA, VOLVO, SAAB has long been world-famous brands. Coupled with ongoing R & D capabilities, competitive Nordic small country, it is a big win from the opening pattern, and have invested cultivating strategic R & D funding.
  High taxes, high welfare, from cradle to grave care all
  Five Nordic countries is a typical social welfare state, high income, high taxes, but also high welfare. The Government took a hard-earned money because the Nordic peoples, little came of corruption, corruption, and have actually established a substantial social safety net in one hand and take care of each national process from cradle to grave, generally achieved <LiYun datong> in juvenile somewhat support, somewhat old utopian end state.
  From the Nordic country's many related investigations are difficult to find, they are a source of happiness, not abstract outside the family, health, friends, a sense of trust and other factors, rather than having large sums of wealth.
  Wu Xianghui in "Finland amazing" mentioned in the book, about three percent of Finland's total national budget, for use in social welfare. The Finnish schoolchildren, receiving on average 10,000 euros per year in government subsidies, to 24-year-old former national average per capita spending on social welfare funds, and more than 160,000 euros; almost say that free education for life, education spending accounted for only 1 household spending %, education spending by the government a shoulder bagged.
  Auspices of the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Ranking Economists surveyed Luo Pei 兹克拉洛斯 (Augusto Lopez-Claros), said the five Nordic countries because "the overall economic environment sound, transparent and efficient public sector, the government budget and policy priorities very match, "so to repeatedly competitiveness among the best in the ratings.

  Many Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Denmark) have a lot in common. They are the welfare of the country, and the history of cooperation in the Nordic countries is also very long. However, different countries have different Nordic course structure. Only in the lower grades in the Nordic countries _set_ up a separate geography lesson before class. In Norway, Iceland and Sweden geography lesson is part of the social sciences. In Finland, it is part of biology and geography lessons.
  In Norway and Iceland, civics, history and geography lessons in social studies classes in teaching, but this three courses have their own system. The same structure also appears in Sweden, but the scope of social class in Sweden contains broader, also including the religious classes.
  In Finland, geography and biology, physics, chemistry and health education along with the contents of the previous four years as a teaching environment and health lessons. In grades 5-6, geography lessons and class constitute the biological and bio-geography lesson. Grades 7-9, geography and biology classes still belongs to biology and geography lesson, but the two disciplines have their own disciplinary status.
  In Denmark grades 1-6 geography and biology, physics, chemistry and technology courses together constitute a natural 7-9 grades geography lesson _set_ alone.
  In Norway, after the 2006 curriculum reform geography lesson still appears as a compulsory subject in secondary schools. In 2005, the status of geography in secondary schools in Sweden has been questioned, a geography lesson is replaced by new course "sustainable development" lessons. Secondary schools in Finland have a physical and human geography course is compulsory. In Iceland, all the geography-related courses are compulsory. In Finland, the geography lesson at the secondary level have not a required course.
  Very interesting geography lesson in Norway, Sweden and some other countries are part of the social sciences. In Denmark, it was assigned to the natural sciences. In Finland, the geography lesson is mainly the natural sciences, in addition to the secondary stage of human geography lesson. In Iceland, geography lessons (including geography lesson and geomorphology classes) belong to the natural sciences and social sciences.
  Human geography and physical geography? Geographical or traditional courses?
  In all the Nordic countries, the junior high school geography lesson is complete geography lesson. In high school, complete geography lessons in Norway and Sweden. In Denmark, the natural geography emphasized. In Iceland and Finland, geography curriculum is divided into physical and human geography.

Norse mythology
  Nordic myth originated in the sun as well as the ability to generate the worship of nature, is unique to Scandinavia a myth system formed relatively late in several other major world mythology, Norse mythology verbal propagation history can be traced back to 1-2 century AD, the first popular in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, where, after about the 7th century as a number of other places in Iceland spread northward migration. In the Middle Ages, Christianity prevailed throughout Europe, due to its strong blow in politics, most of the work described in Norse mythology is considered heresy and burned, has retained a more complete Icelandic epic "Edda" and Germanic epic "Nybo Longgen Song "and so on. Norse mythology is a polytheistic system can be broadly divided into four systems: a giant, god, elves and gnomes. Creating a world in which giant, gives birth to the gods, but also the greatest enemy of the gods, can be understood as the personification of natural forces. God is divided into two tribes, to the Lord God Odin as well as tribal chiefs Asir sea god Mourinho Stewart is chief Vanir tribe, of which there are twelve major gods. Elves and gnomes are demigods, they serve God, the origin of which remains vague concrete belongs to the Germanic region a special creation. In Norse mythology, there are many very special parts, such as the creation of mankind, the first to be created is a woman, and not shown in most of the soil to create the myth of the material, but a twig. Make a more prominent feature is determined by its geographical location, because Scandinavia is located in the far north, a cold year-round, so a high position in the Frost Giants mythology, which often make the gods feel a headache . Secondly, with regard to the demise and rebirth of view is the greatest impact, unlike other mythology, Norse mythology, God is not perfect, but also facing its own doom, such as Odin sacrificed in order to obtain knowledge of the left eye was hanging nine nights in the trees, traumatized after the power has been a symbol of their guns. But on the other hand, believe that when all things Norse mythology demise, will again form a new life, everything in the world are circulating.
  Nordic myth is long forgotten myth, ancient Scandinavian descent will abandon this treasure regardless, there are several centuries old. Norse mythology first circulated in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland generation, even in North America and Greenland has its own trail, is one of the Germanic peoples Scandinavian nation (Viking ancestors) created by later Roman Empire collapsed, people took the opportunity to develop at this time that Olivia (aggression) to other parts of Europe, "Vikings" (viking, is living in bays, harbors person meant) the term began at this time, but gradually Norse mythology nearing completion. Descendants of Norse mythology, the hero, now the Scandinavian Peninsula and northeastern lowlands of Germany Germanic peoples. Their child was born in the desolate harsh natural environment, to develop a chivalrous sturdy personality. Rangers, fighting and hunting are their daily lifestyle, they often bold and aggressive leader in the expedition led by his country, and won in the non-native status and wealth from the exotic.
  The victors of the original culture is not necessarily better than the country in which they conquered, weapons and equipment is not necessarily better than the other. But they have a spirit of adventure and death-defying courage I do not know fear, this is so can be intrusive heavy Germanic peoples throughout Europe playing reasons. These Germanic warrior not afraid of death, and gradually expanded the scope of the expedition. 400 AD, they Rhine, the Danube for the community, adjacent to the Roman Empire. To the gradual decline of the Roman national power, they will continue to harassment territory of the Roman Empire.
  To the fifth century, Germanic peoples suffer Dove family (ie northern Han empire westward to defeat the Huns) stuff and oppression from the north, so, like a surging wave caused great national migration. This is what the Germans called the heroic age, the Nordic legend of ownership is mostly heroes of this age. The results of this great migration of east Russia, the West until the French coast, 布列登 Island, south of Spain, the Italian peninsula, Sicily, North Africa, are subject to the invasion of the Germans, and even as far away as Greenland and part of the American continent have left their footsteps. Nordic mythology is spread so far this nation product. From the eighth century to the eleventh century Viking Megatron Europe, Europe is the most terrible sea pirates, and even rival national army, even as much as landing operations at sea, the Vikings was the strongest warrior, and that When it is dark period in Europe, due to go out to battle, and often subjected to Christianity, text, effects of art, so the Vikings began to have prayer, ritual complex, delicate sculpture, poetry, bringing the heyday of Norse mythology , but is regarded as a Christian cult. But in today's record Germanic mythology countries have ceased to exist. Instead, volcanoes and glaciers covered island in the North Sea - Iceland preserved. Germanic gods completely forgotten Germanic people, the most important reason when pushed into contact with the Roman Empire, as well as through contact with Christian's been assimilated. Coupled with natural disasters, especially in the year 1618-1648 the "Thirty Years War", so that the Germans abandoned the inherent cultural incomplete, legends heroes are plunged into the abyss of oblivion, gathering dust in the course of history.
  After the thirteenth century, the Vikings potential micro, greatly increased the forces of European Churches, Norse mythology began to be lost and was banned across Europe, the Vikings have been forced to begin conversion to Christianity, Catholicism, only the frozen Icelandic poetry prose style and spread among the island's bard. The bard is called "Shijiaerde" they originally did not fall Vikings aristocratic descent, high level of knowledge, they are free to use all sorts of sophisticated purification of simile and metaphor to record and creative Norse mythology and the hero of the story, but also increase with the years, some scholars have said the reason people Norse mythology is so painful sorrows, and yet strange and heroic feelings, can be said to be their masterpiece, not because they are the aristocrats exiled to fall This descent, so naturally full of heart and Liulayixiang country perishes of grief, plus the volcanic island of Iceland ice and snow year-round climate, as well as Iceland volcano itself is a result of the formation of the land and more rocky and barren island nor when volcanic eruptions, and the freezing cold weather in stark contrast to so hard to imagine these poets wrote Norse mythology is so poignant, full of heroic tragic hero of the story.
  At that time only the Christian clergy literacy, both in charge of their records, custody documents, the pagan legends, manuscripts, songs and other natural abhorrence cleaned; only a handful of surviving information: UK "Wuppertal Beowulf"-Beowulf, Germany " Song of the Nibelungen "-Nibelungenlied and a few stray fragments-Saga (Heroes), and two Icelandic mythology anthology" Love Warp "-Edda. Coupled with the ancient Germanic peoples considered the original text used - Luna (Runenschrift), with a magic incantation, if the language _set_ting for the text to be granted equal mysterious enemy forces. So, today is not just ancient Germanic beliefs, and even lifestyle, are also difficult to trace.
  Iceland was the last of the Northland Christian missionaries seemed gentler, it may be smaller influence. Latin did not expel the North of literary language. People still tell old stories in Mandarin, but nothing of the time and can not be traced.
  After the thirteenth century, old and new, "Aida" (poetry collection) and "Feiersenjia. Sakya" (essays) was successively been excavated, re-order the new text [because Nordic earliest is called "Fu Teha g "ancient text, also called" Runje "(runa), the legend is one of three columns created by God Odin, are an ancient Germanic language, when incoming ninth century Latin text Nordic Nordic but it is its integration into the "Ford Huck" in order it to write poetry and prose, so 17th century unable to read directly translated] Zhuancheng, to the seventeenth century was again in Scandinavia, Germany and so on to the Germanic peoples ... national spread, today became the only treasure on Norse mythology research.
  The oldest "Old Love Warp"-ElderEdda manuscript is about twelve hundred centuries AD, wrote that Christianity passed in two hundred years later, the book has the same old songs plus songs twenty-nine found elsewhere, Synthetic thirty-four. These songs do not have titles, authors, and editors' names are unknown, scholars have determined that's very old, about AD 850-1150 for years. At this time it is "Viking Age," these pirates to hear from residents of the Lower Rhine legend ballads, returned to the Scandinavian peninsula and Iceland, and then recited by bards handed down today in the form of retouching These oral ballads until the middle of the thirteenth century, was written text, which is the "old love Warp" produced through.
  Prose "new love Warp"-YoungerEdda is Snoopy's in the late 12th century. Sturluson (SnorriSturluson) written. The subject is to teach people to write poetry in a technical paper, plus some "old Aida by" ancient mythology information does not have.
  "Old Love reached by" more important, constituted by a number of psalms, often describing the same story, but not to each other. There are big epic material, maybe more than the Greek "Iliad" and more great content, but not the same as rewriting the Nordic poets like Homer "Iliad" to rectify the previous story in general. Nordic genius would not have all the psalms welded into one, into a beautiful vast epic; nobody even throw away the rough extraordinary content, _delete_ duplicate part childish annoying. Sometimes the "old Aida by" several pages of names listed in succession. Although the style is poor, the story itself still emits glow. "Old Love reached through" the poet seems to have a great concept, but not the expression skills. Many stories were great. In addition to the tragic poet several rewrite the story of Greek mythology can not be compared with it.
  The best Nordic very tragic story, describing men and women determined to die, or even deliberately choose death, has long planned properly. "Heroic" is the only light in the dark. And throughout all of this is very sad battle worldview, and the Southern Greek mythology in stark contrast. Shrouded in eternal battle the whole mythology, Norse mythology of the world created by the fighting and, since fighting attributed to destruction. Any nation has the Genesis myth legend, but they try to describe the destruction of Norse mythology of the universe, which is the northern Germanic mythology with his national myths most different characteristics, but also those "Shijiaerde" their masterpiece.
  Norse mythology and the southern Greek mythology in all respects become very sharp contrast. Greek mythology is a literary, art and music of the world, is the supreme happiness of paradise. Norse mythology is exactly the opposite.
  Norse mythology to the most profound impression, which should push the painful pathos depicted a world image. Yggdrasil life supported by the cosmic giant trees showing how heroic look weird but one end of the universe is a very hot flame giant Ren Suoju world "Fire township" Muspelheim, the other end is blocked by snow and ice fog eternal world " dead country "Niflheim.
  These two are among the world's dwelling place of God and man, and sometimes floated fire and lava from the south, from the north sometimes brought snow, frost, always a threat to humans, but also threatened the gods. This kind of "paradise" description is 11 more miserable, but also other nations that are not myths.
  In the world of Greek mythology, the gods are heterogeneous, at best, only a handful of half-human, half beast, animal husbandry, but it is also a pastoral god appeared, and there is a monster just waiting for the gods and heroes of conquest.
  However, in Norse mythology is full of biological a Cheech shape of phase, there is enormous big giant, he took off his gloves, will be mistaken for the great houses; there opens her mouth to devour the strange world of the wolf Fenrir; has its tail in its mouth, around the human world "Atrium" serpent Jormungandr; had feared the sun, fled underground, black-faced dwarf proboscis; has pale blue half flesh half death goddess Hela.
  Any nation has the Genesis myth legend, but they focus on Norse mythology describes the destruction of the universe, which is the northern Germanic mythology and most other national myths are not the same characteristics. Moreover, the destruction of the universe depicted in Norse mythology, fantasy, is so painful, tragic, all the myths on Earth, almost unparalleled.
  Insignificance of human existence as such, its "raw" and "off" is really insignificant. In the large flame cosmic doom, there is a huge force and power of the madness Competing in the last great battle of heroic pathos, and even the "gods country" the gods of Asgard are also destroyed, these fantasies to real giants The limits of human thinking.
  Lord God of Norse mythology Odin, the storm god, the god of battle, but also the eternal dissolute persons. The same is a polytheistic world, but in Greek mythology, the gods, led by Zeus to Zeus, its status is eternal and unshakable, and resist the giant gods, after the tragic defeat, he incurs into eternal darkness Hell, no chance to succeed.
  In contrast, the Nordic gods, but must constantly battle with giants, giants and gods besides force has enough proposition is out, but also the birth of the earliest universe who is also a giant blood vessels of the Gods flowing.
  In addition to the hammer Thor Thor's Thunder Sword and Japanese god Frey's victory in the use of force, more often than not the giant rival gods, intellect alone, the gods are not necessarily better than the giants. Smart Spring is Solidago roots from beneath the tree of life gushed toward the giant country, is responsible for guarding the spring of giant Mimir. Even that should belong to the original divine wisdom, wrapped the world in Norse mythology, which is also the root of all the Giants.
  And all are better than despair own rival for the war, this is the fate of the Germanic peoples of the experience. Began the era of the great migration from the nation, after pirates period, the Germanic peoples way of life is to fight, migration, and then fight. It is full of ups and downs of the turbulent flow of life, they will be placed in the national destiny to fight, survive from the adventure, keep on without regret, the root of this attitude is positive proof can be found from the myths and legends.
