Document Summary
Video appeals to the larger idea of nationhood (1812 video *movie type trailer) Multiculturalism, democracy and climate: politics, history, actions, climate, geography, education, land mass, wealth, heritage, landscape, laws, democracy, peacekeeping, multiculturalism. A nation may refer to a community of people who share a common language, culture, ethnicity, descent, or history. In this definition, a nation has no physical borders. However it can also refer to people who share a common territory and government irrespective of their ethnic make-up. Anderson saw a nation as an imagined political community, it is not based on interaction/ communication of its members, each member hold a mental image of their affinity. Olympic medal is won and the nation feels good, but in reality it is just the hockey team that won the medal we all feel proud/ pride. Members may have common interests, identify themselves as a group. Media helps portray us as a nation.
