Long life - life expectancy in Sweden is higher than in the US, and one reason is universal healthcare. Sweden's healthcare is as advanced, technologically, as that of the US, available to all, regardless of income, and still it is cheaper per capita than in the US. OK, American surgeons may be better at GSW's for sheer multitude of events (not a lot of people get shot in this country), but I don't expect ever having to go outside Sweden for healthcare needs.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
