National identity

National identity is how a group of people feel about being part of a particular nation or country. It's like a big family. People who share the same national identity usually have a shared language, traditions, values and customs. They value their identity, and usually honour their symbols, colours, and other representations of the nation. They can even have similar beliefs about their government, economy, and social issues. National identity is often celebrated through festivals, parades and other events that help bring a nation together.
