The majority of our attitudes to some facts and statements of general questions are formed by the experience we have. Therefore in case when one person lives a long and happy life in his motherland and loves it sincerely even if he or she sees some shortages, and another is not able to cope with the pressure of the particular atmosphere and leaves, both are right.
Pondering over the problem of identity of national characher, one will insist on the right of mentality of the nation to have its special features, though some of them seems to be awful. In this situation I'm certainly disagree.
As person are used to change himself to communicate with other people reaching some kind of his own happiness, so the nation must struggle against its prejudices and barbarian habits instead of being proud of them for being able to integrate to global community and manage to find solutions for the problems it faces, such as endell wars, violence against unprotected groups of society, etc.
Of course, question of national identity is very painful according to the traditions of the very policy of ethnic or national survival. But 'till we'll keep up antagonistic sentiments instead of smoothing difficultes between cultures and be looped in our own weak destiny, we'll have only what we have - criminal diversity, wars, social problems, narrow-mindedness of the people.
And that will be fair - that will be particulary what we deserve in this case.
