Today I have been doing a tittle research about the country and I found a intersting article that exposes the origin and history of one of the most feared subculture in Norway. The real noruegan black metal was a subculture that stared in Norway in the late 80’s, this group of was conformed by young people who had a well off social position. All the followers of the bands stared to imitated the believes that their leaders had in relation to the church and christianity. This subculture used to believe that the imposiition of christianity help to distroy the religion that revered thor, odin and other viking gods. The basement of one of the leaders was the pleace where their followers made sacriifices of death animals, orgies, parties and rituals. This gorup of people was baptized by the press as the cirlcle and were designated as a satanists group. Other activities that this group used to have were threats of death to the pastors, they cought fire 30 churches and stole the jewerly. This subculture ended by the arrest of one of the last members that originated this movement.

While in Colombia it is expected that everyone should contribute for the purpose of a collective benefit and for the fellowship. Colombia is a Masculine society we are competitive and we’re status oriented, yet we prefer to be collectivistic. This means that the competition is to members of other groups. While Norway is the second most feminine country. This means that they take care of the environment, so try to be better than others is neither socially nor materially rewarded. Colombia has a high score on Uncertainty Avoidance that means that we are try to avoid ambiguity Norway scores 50 and this does not indicate a preference on this dimension. A similar characteristic is our way of thinking, we are are normative, respect for traditions, also we like to achieve …
