Imagined Communities
Benedict Anderson

SUMMARY:

Anderson said that it is imagined because the reality of even the smallest nation exceeds what it
is possible for a single person to know that one cannot know every person in a nation, just as one
cannot know every aspect of its economy, its geography, its history, and so on. An imagined
community is a concept developed by Benedict Anderson in his 1983 book Imagined
Communities, an analysis of nationalism. Anderson portrays a nation as a socially constructed
community, imagined by people who see themselves as part of that group.
A concept developed by political scientist Benedict Anderson for the definition of nationalism.
Rather than looking at a nation bound by physical boundaries, Anderson defined it as a
community bound by people who imagine themselves to be part of the group.
How does this develop and/or promote nationalism to you?
It encourages nationalism as a positive factor in my opinion. At a Stavanger International Airport
interview, Anderson promotes nationalism in the Literature Festivals a beneficial factor.
According to what I've been told the reading and the promotion I saw the degree to which
individuals consider nationalism in a good manner.
Since that we are Filipinos, we should respect Philippine flag's purpose and use. The background
and the value of this flag is tied to our right to freedom present day. The development of our own
language and defends our nation's identity. Here is our different ways of connecting and
communicating with our colleagues. Our native language is important for future tool for enabling
greater national unity development. There are evidences that justify our Nationalism is
important, but what matters is where we stand joined as one in their passion for the. The
Philippines is our home. Allow us to form the principles of nationalism in all aspects of our lives.
Did Rizal demonstrate popular nationalism through his works?
The most of his works and other writings, both editorials that focus the freedom and rights of the
individual for the Filipino people in particular. Along with his changes, including advocating the
integration of the Philippines into Spanish province.
He supports the huge changes made by the Spanish era, showing his loyalty for our nation, the
Philippines. It expresses a love for our nation because aims to national unity without using
violence or radical action against those who make believing themselves to be above to the
Filipinos, but using the skills and values needed to write books.
How will the study of our national history affect your actions in the present?
When I do certain acts, it might have an impact on may bring to mind lessons I've learnt about
the past, and I'm beginning to compare the current with the past, however, there was something
that let me know it had a past, and I trying to compare the current to the past wasn't necessary.
My role in the situations that led to the. The development of a new technology will have an
impact on the present .level of appreciation for almost everything, more than a living history of
the countries, leaders, and wars. It's the story of ourselves as well. Also, national history inspires
me a more knowledgeable decision-maker, providing me with the chance to learn lessons from
past mistakes.
