Back to History 8 Fifth Mountain Readings
National Identity
National Identity simply states that what a nation believes determines who they are. In the United States we have holidays such as Thanksgiving, the 4th July, and Memorial Day that we celebrate as a group. We no longer share a common language, however; we share our system of government and values.
Examples from The Fifth Mountain
1) "And the people of Akbar are courageous; they have the means to resist any invasion. (103)"
2) "Our princess is a courageous woman, and faithful to the gods... however much power she may have now, she is not an Israelite. (43)"
