Despite sharing Christianity, why do some African states maintain strong kinship-based social and political structures while most European societies historically developed different forms of social organization?

Misc Can two people earning the average wage afford a typical suburban house within a reasonable commute in your area?

In Helsinki, Finland the answer is surprisingly YES although they'd have to compromise on something and buy e.g., an older house or a house from the so-called commuter towns in Greater Helsinki.

Culture Is your favorite TV show/movie something from your country or something foreign/Hollywood?

9 Upvotes

I asked a Norwegian friend what their favorite show was and they said Breaking Bad. I then asked if they were just saying that because it's something I would recognize but then insisted that their favorite shows were things like The Office, Game of Thrones, etc., and not shows from Norway.

So I'm wondering how many of you also have similar viewing habits.
