Comprehensive daily reflection about the nation, citizenship, and youth
This country has been described by Benedict Anderson as The `` imagined group '' and by saint James as The `` abstract people ''. It is the imagined group in the meaning that these physical conditions exist for imagining long and shared connections. It is the abstract community in the meaning that it is objectively objective, yet if each person in this country knows him or herself as subjectively part of the embodied identity with others. For the most part, members of the country be strangers to each other and would never probably meet. Thus the saying, `` the country of strangers '' used by such authors as Vance Packard.
The country is a balanced group of people, formed on the basis of the common language, region, economic experience, ethnicity or mental make-up manifested in the general society. The country is different from the people, and is more abstract, and more overtly political than the ethnic group. (James , Saul, 1996) It is a cultural-political group that has become aware of its independence, integrity, and individual interests. (Smith , 8 Jan 1991)
