• How do international sporting events reinforce nationalism?

  They create pride, unity, and loyalty by encouraging people to identify with their nation's values and achievements.
• How can politics influence national identity?

  Example: Japan's 2005 school textbook protests — seen as whitewashing history (e.g., Nanking Massacre). In the UK, UKIP pushed for Brexit and citizenship tests to promote British values and integration.
• Why did UKIP's influence decline after 2018?

  It suggests political nationalism can be temporary and issue-driven (e.g., focused on Brexit).
• What are the legally required 'British values' schools must promote since 2014?

  Democracy, Rule of Law, Individual Liberty and Mutual Respect & Tolerance
• How do events like the Olympics represent national identity?

  Through ceremonies that showcase a country’s history, culture, and values (e.g., London 2012: industrial revolution, James Bond, NHS).
• What did the 2011 UK Census reveal about national identity in London?

  Population (2016): 8.6 million; 3.1M born overseas. Ethnic minorities (2011): 44% (up from 29% in 2001). Ethnic minorities often identified as "British". White British identified more as "English", "Welsh", etc. White other often felt disconnected from "Britishness"
• How does globalisation affect national identity?

  Reduces clear-cut national loyalty; identity varies between generations. Urban areas become multicultural hubs. Countries like France resist Anglicisation. Japan limits immigration to protect culture
