At first, my cousin-in-law told me that general British people prefer to be mediocre instead of out-shines from the crowd, as you might get envious from others.
Then after my move to new place, where I had a brief chat with my landlord he agree with what I told from my cousin-in-law, therefore I decided to observe into this matter.
In return, I interview 4 British people, age in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
With my own opinion, indeed with time ideology and society has change, for the 2 younger interviewers they are very neutral with the statement, where they think is more on individual rather as a whole. And the older interviewer is very much agreeing with the statement given.
And with my reasoning behind my findings as below:
History –In general, back from 150years ago, 90% of the world population were living in the suburb or country side and work as farming and crops and 10% of the world population live in the city. As for now 50% of the population lives in city and 50% lives in suburb or country side, which means due to increase of population in small city, is obvious that people need to make “noise” in order to get attention.
Socially –With media trend, having competition and talent show since a few years back, the community has changed their attitude towards being conservative.
Economically – Economy has ever been more and more competitive and inflation, people have become more competitive to adjust the ever changing market. On top of that, globalization is new trend where people travel and learn from each other.
Climate / Geographically – The north, such as Scandinavians were more clams and inner interact with small group. Where else when you down south, the warmer country e.g. Spain, Italy in general they are louder. Perhaps British were just fits in between as with the climate is.
With still, people should just be proud what they are where this is an identity for the British regardless what.
