I think that's what I mean really more than anything - some sort of awareness campaign or a way to really try and shake up cultural mentalities. I mean, even the younger generation is so very caught up in the idea of never showing weakness or cracking that it's taking a huge toll on their psyche. It probably doesn't help that 1. It is such an insular country, with only 1-2% of the population being foreign (or some such) and 2. The economy never really bounced back after 1992.
