In one of my seminars, we discuss about the identity discourses within the European Union and finally, a fellow student said that she would find it repulsive, If you had to identify with the German nation.
arrived at this point the usual objection that the Germans had anyway a problem with their concept of nation, because the story would be in the way of.
This was followed up by stating that the World Cup in 2006 have certainly demonstrated that the Germans are aware of their nation. Whereupon the fellow student said she would find it disgusting when all the fans of the German team with the black-red-gold flag were milling around.
A few years ago, when the SPD-Green coalition under Schröder correctly updated the immigration laws, was It said in a dominant culture debate, which should discuss what constitutes the German nation really, for some of the conservative forces that immigrants and migrants in but definitely live here could and that they should retain their culture in parts, but always under the premise that the German values are important.
But what are the German stocks that make up these guiding culture?
A CDU Commission said at the time that these values were based on the principles of Western-Christian religion and the Enlightenment. Multiculturalism had failed and the strong influence of the Jewish Population is completely hidden from.
studies have also evaluated that the population prefers more of a regional positioning as a national one. One is thus like to Leipzig, but may appear with the term "German" little start.
The term dominant culture me wrong because it suggests that there is a unified German culture, which is above another, or that there would be a European culture that stands above others.
I would prefer it if a side by side, and above all would be together. Let our different cultures but benefit from each other, let us learn from each other!
The first German values should be the universal values of peace, freedom and solidarity!
