TITLE OF THE Reading Breakdown


READING 1. What is the reading all about?
- About Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin
Hard to Imagine and Spread of Nationalism" by notable political thinker
An Abridged Benedict Anderson is regarded is one of the most
Version important works written about the sources of modern
nationalism.
By Benedict
Anderson 2. What did you learn from the article?
- Benedict Anderson’s remarkable book Imagined
Communities reshaped the study of nations and
nationalism. Imagined Communities stimulated attention
to the dynamics of socially and culturally organized
imagination as processes at the heart of political culture,
self-understanding and solidarity. This has an influence
beyond the study of nationalism as a major innovation in
understanding ‘social imaginaries’.
3. How does the article relate to the lesson?
- Benedict Anderson is best known for his work regarding
Nationalism in his book Imagined Communities. Anderson
defines the nation as, an imagined political community
and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
The nation is imagined as limited because even the
largest of them, encompassing perhaps a billion living
human beings, has finite, if elastic, boundaries, beyond
which lie other nations.
How does it develop and/or promote nationalism to you?
- In fact nationalism could help create wealth, fight
corruption, and impeding growth and promoting corruption
across the developing world. Nationalism is a modern
movement. Throughout history people have been
attached to their native soil, to the traditions of their
parents, and to established territorial authorities, but it
was not until the end of the 18th century that nationalism
began to be a generally recognized sentiment molding

factor in political behavior.
How does it develop and/or promote patriotism to you?
- Patriotism is when people have love and devotion for their
country. To me, patriotism means supporting our country
in good times or bad; to never lose faith in our country;
flying the flag to show respect and devotion to our
country; and honoring those who have served in the
defense of this nation, both living and dead, retired or
active. Patriotism means supporting and loving our
country even when it's going through rough or difficult
times. You still love our country, even when things are not
as you desire or you would like. Devotion to our country
means standing with it, no matter what, and working to
make it better. Patriotism means never losing faith in our
country.
How does it develop and/or promote volunteerism to you?
- Volunteerism is a basic expression of human
relationships. It is about people’s need to participate in
their societies and to feel that they matter to others. We
strongly believe that the social relationships intrinsic to
volunteer work are critical to individual and community
well-being. Volunteers are motivated by values like those
of justice, equality and freedom as expressed in the
United Nations Charter. A society which supports and
encourages different forms of volunteering is likely to be a
society which also promotes the well-being of its citizens.
