The typical Finn Forest life Sauna Quiet Honest Hermit Booze loving Stubborn No sense of fashion Nationalism Wintersports

How valid is this image? This is a stereotype of a Finnish person

and invalid Finns do love nature and value privacy,

but this doesn’t include everybody Nowadays Finns are well educated and

the globalisation affects us

Are Finns losing their national identity? Things such as the internet and the IB

are changing the Finns Finns still have these features that are

known globally e.g. being silent and heavy drinking

Honesty is in someways fading away especially in politics and business world e.g. Finnair paying its leaders and the Greece situation

conclusion Some features of a

typical Finn can still be seen in our society

The stereotype is changed

There is no such thing as a typical Finn because every single invidual is unique.
