From National Pride to National Shame

 From National Pride to National Shame

 National pride is the positive affect that the public feels towards their country as a renult of their national identity. It is both the pride or sense of esteem that a person has for one's nation and the pride or self- esteem that a person derives from one's national identity.While National Shame is a kind of en-masse guilt trip spread by newspapers and other media. Has its roots in archaic beliefs/notions of deference and paternalism that go a long way to fortifying nationalist sentiments and spreading xenaphobia. You only feel national shame if you swallow that sort of bullshit.

Take a look at today’s world culture. Most Countries are oblivious to global problems. Many are self centered. There’s little to no cooperation between nations. National pride needs to disappear if we are advance as a human race. National pride is present everywhere. National pride has its positive implications but it creates far more problems here, by the time children turn 18, they've been given three half-terms of intensive education in the crimes and moral wrongs of their country and people in the 20th century, and are taught to see their government and people as perpetually guilty. What happens to a people raised for three generations on limitless shame and apology? They have, at the moment, the strongest economy in the world and the most influential role in their continent's politics.
