Unit #1 Should Nation be the Foundation for Identity?

Unit #1 Should Nation be the Foundation for Identity?

In the same way, as your personal identity evolves and grows, so too does the identity of nations. You may, for example, identify yourself in terms of your values, beliefs, spirituality, and heritage. But how does a nation identify itself? By boundary lines on a map? Or is it more complicated than this?

As you explore this related issue, you will come to appreciate

• that people have different understandings of nation, nation-state, and nationalism — and that these understandings can change over time.

• that the relationships that link identity, nation, nation-state, and nationalism are complex and dynamic/

• that nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties — and the way people reconcile them — often shape people’s choices.

• that the forces of nationalism have played a role in shaping Canada and the world — and are likely to continue to do so.
