Norway recently introduced a controversial program to help immigrants culturally assimilate to their new culture. The concern is that the influx of immigrants come from cultures which has a higher tolerance of violence against women. The courses teaches acceptable European sexual and social practices. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) discuss on The Young Turks. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Forced cultural assimilation is looked down upon for good reason—it privileges the value system and traditions of whatever the home country is, reinforcing the marginalization of the immigrant. What happens, however, when the immigrant’s culture generally tolerates violence against women?

Norway has begun offering a controversial program that seeks to reduce the potential transfer of that violence, by working with male immigrants from countries in which women are not permitted to show skin or be publicly affectionate. These courses coach the men in European sexual and social practices, teaching that smiling and flirting are normal, and that ‘if a girl is drunk it does not mean she is willing to do anything.’”
