  • 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
