in #CASE you missed it… Hottest Word Of 2020
Danish Word Is On Track To Becoming The Hottest Of 2020 - In a year when a virus has taken control, one word is on track to become THE buzzword of 2020.
The Danish word “samfundssind” is defined as “putting the concern of society higher than one’s own interests.” More loosely translated as “community spirit” or “social mindedness.”
In March, the Danish prime minister called on everyone in the country to show samfundssind and the people and companies, like LEGO, stepped up.
The BBC shares that while the word is now used on social media as a hashtag to highlight kind acts, “perhaps most importantly, everyday people showed community spirit by following the rules.”
