Bullying in the workplace was first identified as a phenomenon and analyzed in Sweden. So no, Americans don't have a corner on that market.

Why do we have so many threads asking about Americans on the World forum?

We seem to have a rash of interest in comparing the US to the rest of the world, or to Europe.

If we go by Judgmental, I would have to say South Korea is the most or one of the most judgmental in the world. Probably also Taiwan, Japan, Venezuela, and Brazil. I say they are judgmental because the percentage of people who have plastic surgery and go under the knife is high. The USA probably has to be up there thanks to places like Miami or LA.

There are lots of stories how those countries I mentioned are so judgmental, they judge on your looks, your social status, occupation, how much money you make, what nice things you have, etc. Also even things you didn't choose such as your height, cheekbones, eyelids, etc.

I don't think its excessive at all. There are alot of ******* in this world.

In my school it is actually awful. Its a constant popularity contest between the girls in particular. They are constantly bitching and rowing. They cause massive rows just to get drama. Then they burst into tears and bla bla bla. Alot of them are very plastic with about 5 tonne of make up on.

I suppose thats normal. But the students in my school take everything to the excess. It is also quite common for unpopular people to be bullied to oblivion i.e those who do not conform/act plastic. I know a girl who is very smart and has been bullied for years, she was told by girls that they will make her life a living hell and take her friends away by the time their done.

They tend to make a lot of friends among locals when they travel, because they're warm, friendly and interesting people.
Yes but they seem the minority here among those my age.

Are you serious? Sound like a bunch of bratty children. How old are you btw? I hope you mean high school.

How are the boys the most judgemental?

I said more judgemental, didn't say Americans are the only ones. That just tells us that Sweden is very sensitive to these issues.

Right, but the thing is.. Americans are not more judgmental than other countries.

You should feel really dumb about even starting something like this, and the fact that you don't is a real problem
