Their primary distinction was expressed through social trust, a characteristic that is often uncommon today throughout this country and around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdolf Hansen was born into this colony and lived there until he graduated from high school. His experience of trust began during his preschool years with trust in his mother and father; continued with trust in others in the colony throughout his time in grade school; developed trust more fully within himself in junior high, as others trusted him; and then evolved in his trust in God, and God's trust in him in high school. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis development of social trust was not unique to this predominantly Protestant colony. It was replicated in the lives of his peers and their families, as well as thousands of others in the colony. Similar experiences were also present in the lives of Italian Catholics and Eastern European Jews with whom he connected in the neighborhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExperiences of social trust are at the core of this book!\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 204\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47503396405426,"sku":"9780578367422","price":18.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/ad7fb6f2aaa3c3cca70e3c96df1e8368.webp?v=1779487946","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/a-boy-in-brooklyn-growing-up-in-a-norwegian-colony-in-the-1940s-and-50s-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
