LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES, NATIONALISM AND IDENTITIES

The world is divided into five continents populated: Europe, America, Africa, Asia, Oceania. And we think that this fact is true. In order for these affirmations to gain weight, the transformation processes that took place are numerous. Nevertheless, please continue reading this short story:

The man stopped living in his caverns more than five thousand years ago and since then he has been fighting for the longed for Peace. However, to achieve it, it has crossed seas and oceans and has been exposed to numerous dangers. The pirates and the corsairs were always on the lookout. Stereotyped characters, archetypes and empires formed the current imaginary.

Countries defined people as monarchical or republican, as a rule without asking them in advance.

The cities built their forts, to defend themselves against the invasions, so that little by little they changed the course of history or kept it. They even coveted other lands and then they abandoned theirs. Others were happy in recessed areas, away from the problems caused by pollution.

When some men considered that we were not all equal and we would not enjoy the same privileges, the wars began and the criminals took advantage of the citizens ... Now that the centenary of the end of the First World War is over, it is a good time for dialogue and for understand that defending a stance at all costs is an inherent right to Nationality, but striving to defend Nationalisms is not always optimal and is the source of conflicts, in that Identity is a feeling that flows from the individual's way of being and corresponds to the abstract concept of Homeland.
