Late to the party, but I have to say if you removed the country name I'd bet my life savings that that this article was talking about Japan. Especially that standing out being bad part, which immediately reminded me of the Japanese proverb "standing nails get hammered down". Kind of depressing, but very interesting.

Did you know Rudolph the Reindeer (and all reindeer in general) has no upper teeth?
Join us for beautiful pics of auroras, reindeer teeth trivia, and grousings about grocery prices! Whether you’re a born Norwegian, immigrant, tourist, or just think reindeer are cute, this is the place to be.
Due to the small size of Lemmy, and the even smaller size of the Norwegian part of Lemmy, contributors are encouraged to stick to English where possible.

I suppose there's no other way to use shame. It's just a question of which cultures do it and to what extent.
Huh, this might be one of the few times I've read something negative about Norway.
It's a great country, but no place is perfect.
