Re: Calling doctors by their first names

[making_excuses]

Woah, and in these kinds of instances I realize how different my society is than yours. We call our Prime Minister by her first name, only people we use a title for is our royal family.

I call my doctor, my professors and anyone else by their first names and so does everyone else. Last names might be used, but not to the person, but talking about him or her but that is more to avoid confusion (I use my doctors full name when I call to the office to get an appointment). Or sometimes it can be used as an insult, Doctor so and so who things she is better than everyone, or (Prime) Minister so and so who sukcs.

And no it doesn't matter how old you are or what your social position is, neither do we use Mr. or Mrs./Miss., except sometimes for young kids as a way of getting their attention "Miss Jane Doe could you please pay attention" or "Young Mister John Doe what are you doing?".

I'm late, but that's really interesting!

People here are disagreeing with me about doctors (and professors, I guess), but I can't imagine they would think it's appropriate to call the President by his first name (although maybe they would, who knows).

In my case I do think a large part of it is probably the specific region I'm in...it's crazy how different the culture can be in different places!

Re: Calling doctors by their first names

My entire society is built on the fact that everyone is equal,* that no one is better than anyone else, and as such The Prime Minister does not get treated differently than anyone else. Our politicians and rich people, even our Royal Family all give the outside appearance that they want to live like "everyone" else. And as such, first names are used. It isn't a hard and fast rule, our former Prime Minister goes by Stoltenberg in conversations about him, but in interviews and stuff they adress him as Jens, and introduce him as Former Prime Minister (or current whatever the heck is NATO or whatever position is) Jens Stoltenberg. Just like our Prime Minister, they ask her "Erna what are your views on political thingy" and so on.

It isn't that different in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland either, but most of those countries have a history of Nobility, we don't, except the ones we got when we were under Danish or Swedish rule.

*Not saying other societies aren't, just that mine doesn't have a history or class divide that other countries might have. Even if we do have a class divide, the middle is seen as the best place to be.
