Abstract

This paper deals with the issue of national identity, which is an issue without a doubt that affects all political, economic, social and cultural factors, given their effects, whether these influences are positive or negative on all situations in any country, and the paper aimed to highlight the value and importance of the concept of identity for members of society and its reflection. On the political, economic, social and cultural conditions and their impact on security and stability in the state, Identity becomes a kind of self-definition, and it is also a positive specificity. The social impact of the sense of identity may be clear or hidden, and it finds its expressions in different feelings such as love for the homeland and pride in a culture. This paper proposes that the school be a successful environment for practicing healthy citizenship, to train students to discuss issues of concern to them, take appropriate decisions and address differences of opinion among them.
