This document discusses national identity and some of the complex issues surrounding it. It defines nationalism and explains how countries often try to reduce strong nationalism by promoting values of democracy, freedom and international cooperation. However, nationalism remains a powerful force that is reinforced through education, sports, politics and national symbols. It also addresses how globalization, migration, terrorism and multinational corporations challenge traditional notions of national identity and ownership.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

environment
• Why do some countries persistently ignore
environmental rules and regulations
4. Learning Objectives
• Understand the concept of Nationalism
• Consider the different aspects of our
National Identity
• Appreciate that some countries are more
nationalistic than others
• Assess the reasons why national identity is
often hard to understand
5. What is our National Identity
• After conflict often countries base
themselves on democracy, freedom,
respect and liberty
• This is often a way of reducing nationalism
• The EU and UN are based on these
• We try to weak nationalism through
internationalism and IGOs
• However Nationalism remains a powerful
force
6. • The Balkans shows how powerful
nationalism can be
• Nationalism can be reinforced through
– Education
– Sport
– Politics
• Where loyalty to a particular group can be
reinforced
7. Public Events
• These often present an
opportunity for
nationalism to be seen.
• Extremism can be seen
via the National Front or
the BNP
8. • A desire to show national pride such as
sporting events or the opening of the
Olympic games
9. Loyalty
• Nationalism inspires loyalty and devotion
• Its often associated with slogans or
symbols
– Flags
– Anthems
– Currency
– Passports
• Identity and Loyalty are often tied to legal
systems and methods of governance
• We concentrate our loyalty by often
criticising another system.
• Football teams is a prime example of this
10. National Identity and
Multinationalism
• Thanks to globalisation we are now
interconnected
• Emerging countries are developing deeper
connections with the developed world
• This results in migration
• This creates multinationalism with many
ethnic groups
• Questions of national identity therefore
become more complex
• In the UK people see themselves as
English, Scottish or Welsh before they see
themselves as British
11. Terrorism
• Global terrorism has created tension with
Muslim communities in secular countries
• Islamic Society of Britain recognise that first
generation migrants may have felt culturally
displaced from their home countries
• Yet third and second generation Muslims
regard the UK as their home
12. Challenges
• Made In Britain is a very complex notion
• Many British firms are owned by foreign
companies
• There is much confusion about this.
– HP Sauce?
– Dyson
– Royal Doulton
– Rayleigh
• None are British owned
• It’s not always as simple as we feel
• Our national identity through our products are
often not owned by the companies we think
13. Loss of Heritage
• House of Fraser
• Sarsons vinegar
• Branston Pickle
• Walker Crisps
• Weetabix
• Jaguar
• Manchester United
• Tetley
• Smirnoff
• Newcastle Brown Ale
• Scottish Power
• Thames Water
• O2
• Heathrow Airport
• Boots UK
• Cadbury
• Terry's Chocolate Orange
• Rolls Royce
14. Westernisation
• The world’s largest 500 companies
generate $31.2 trillion in revenue and $1.7
trillion in profit and employ 65 million
worldwide
• British GDP = $2.86 trillion
• This is equal to the whole output of Italy in
profits per year.
• They come from 36 countries but the
majority are based in the USA, Europe, SE
Asia
• All project their influence globally through
ownership of foreign companies
15. TNCs
• Those in the western world have much greater
connections than elsewhere
• They promote the capitalist model
• Brand-orientated consumerism has lead to
unethical exploitation in the worlds poorest
countries (Remember the UNs first ideas that were
voted down?)
– Entitled to regulate and control activities of MNC
operating within their territory
– Free to nationalise or expropriate foreign property on
conditions favourable to them
– Free to set up associations of primary commodities
producers similar to OPEC others should respect this
right and not challenge it
– Able to benefit from stable and equitable prices for raw
materials, tariffs and transfer of technology and
Economic assistance should be free from conditions.
• This never happened….
