Part 4/10:
The discussion of military service reveals that it is mandatory for Swiss men to serve, leading to a culture where firearms are common but controlled. Many citizens keep military-issued weapons at home, but ammunition is stored separately in arsenals. This controlled approach to gun ownership reflects a societal emphasis on safety and responsibility.
A harmonious Society?
Swiss society prides itself on its ability to integrate diverse cultures and languages. With four national languages—German, French, Italian, and Romansh—effective communication is key to coexistence. The lack of overt class divides, especially in regions like Rolle, further strengthens this narrative of unity.
