nationality-culture myth  

Definition(s)

  • Before the age of rapid transportation and instant communication in which we now live, it was common to think of human cultures as being contained within nation-states. Terms such as French culture, German culture, or Mexican culture were facile currency to identify the set of values, beliefs, and predispositions to action that were presumably unique to persons from a particular country.
