The National Identity of Scotland

INTRODUCTION The globalized world of postmoderns seems to threaten the country, homogenize their culture and eliminate individual identity. In this sense, the situation in Scotland is very special. First, Scotland is part of England. Secondly, the UK is part of the European Union. Finally, Scotland is part of the global community. This supports the complexity of Scotland and is trying to maintain the identity of the country in the context of Britain, Europe and the global influence.

The Scottish economy strongly insists on independence. However, nationalism is strongly dependent on other factors than the Scottish citizens' feelings. Nationalism is a Scottish identity rather than an economy. Scotland can maintain its economy, space, location and identity, but it will take several years. SNP is a democratic leftist party devoted to Scottish independence. It aims to build a fair, thoughtful and enterprising society into the mainstream of modern Europe by maximizing the possibilities of Scotland as an independent country (Independent, 2011). The leader of SNP is Alex Salmond (Independence, 2011). In the local elections in 2007, the SNP won 1,224 seats in 363 Congress (exceeding 181 members in 2003) and became the largest municipality in Scotland. (Independence, 2011) The party was at the forefront of Scottish self-determination movement for about 70 years (Independence, 2011)

Nationalism is a type of cultural identity that can be imposed on individuals. The concept of nationalism had a major impact on the character of the last king in Scotland. In the early days of the story, Nicolas Garigan of the hero literally noticed the sign that it is written that "your country is your family." It is based on a complex method relating to the culture from which all characters originate. Garrigal strongly agrees with his own Scottish country; his first person narration obviously shows that he is Scott and that doing so means a certain characteristic and behavior. Previously, he told the reader, stating that he was "in the inappropriate northern region and started on this northern story," clearly indicating that it was literally in the Scottish literature. Garrigan also commented that he grew up "according to the most stringent regulations", in other words his culture conveyed the way of concrete action and recognition to him.

Paintings focusing on controversial religious history in Scotland also encourage dual identity despite being in different directions. After the alliance of 1707, the Scottish church has long been the most powerful national institution in Scotland, which is usually operated as a parliamentary parliament, its relatively democratic nature is a unique Scottish equalitarian It is regarded. However, as Kirk enthusiastically supports the British Empire and its Christian mission, the identity of Scotland seen in religion like David Wilkie and other paintings has the power of unionism - nationalism There.
