He was caught. To his great surprise, not for plagiarizing his sister's work...but for copying the source that she'd plagiarized! -e.delmanMrs. Delmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349225436772291255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679250124748682578.post-1351942261506913712011-10-07T23:57:11.811+02:002011-10-07T23:57:11.811+02:00I've always been fascinated by the way the aut...I've always been fascinated by the way the author Axel Sandmose wrote the Jante Law in the semi self biographic novel, "En flyktning krysser sitt spor". It's even stronger and more threatening in Norwegian than in your English translation. Instead of the word others, Sandemose consequently used the word US.<br />You shall not believe you are better than us, shall not laugh at us e.t.c.<br />Both the novel from the Danish town Jante and the Jante Law are considered to be important to self understanding and also of course it's implicated; do not behave like the inhabitants of Jante.<br />It's such a gruesome example of oppressing and belittling mechanisms.<br />I hope you find time to read the Law in Norwegian.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.com
