    Favorite: patriotism and traditionalism

    Least Favorite: this idea that Russia/Soviets were worst than Nazism to Poland. It usually comes from personal anecdotal stories spread around (which often didnt portray the whole scope of the war).
    Stats and history show something else...
    Both groups were evil / very bad but clearly Nazis killed more Poles, and destroyed more property. Plus General Plan Ost would have been worst than anything Stalin weirdo wanted.

    Favorite trait of the italian people : The "Sprezzatura"


    Sprezzatura [sprettsaˈtuːra] is an Italian word originating from Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, where it is defined by the author as "a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it".[1] It is the ability of the courtier to display "an easy facility in accomplishing difficult actions which hides the conscious effort that went into them


    Sprezzatura has also been described "as a form of defensive irony: the ability to disguise what one really desires, feels, thinks, and means or intends behind a mask of apparent reticence and nonchalance".[3]





    The word has entered the English language; the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "studied carelessness".[4]



    Least favorite: Amoral Familiarism


    ...observed a self-interested, family centric society which sacrificed the public good for the sake of nepotism and the immediate family...

    he backwardness of such a society could be explained "largely but not entirely" by "the inability of the villagers to act together for their common good or, indeed, for any end transcending the immediate, material interest of the nuclear family".
    ...was rooted in the distrust, envy and suspicion displayed by its inhabitants' relations with each other. Fellow citizens would refuse to help one another, except where one's own personal material gain was at stake. Many attempted to hinder their neighbors from attaining success, believing that others' good fortune would inevitably harm their own interests. Montegrano's citizens viewed their village life as little more than a battleground. Consequently, there prevailed social isolation and poverty, and an inability to work together to solve common social problems, or even to pool common resources and talents to build infrastructure or common economic concerns.


    This stress on the nuclear family over the interest of the citizenry, he called the ethos of "amoral familism". This he argued was probably created by the combination of certain land-tenure conditions, a high mortality rate, and the absence of other community building institutions.

    Much like the Belgians here.

    Kempenzoon and Groenewolf summed it up.
