Each nation shapes its mentality. And it is generally the right of the
nation to live on the full territory of its homeland, to live well,
in accordance with its identity.
This formulation is differently expressed in different concepts
of various nations. It is often expressed as an â~@~idea,â~@~]
which formulates the overall aspirations of the nation, leading the
nation ahead and providing with directions. National ideology is a
continuous process and can last for decades, centuries. Nations who
seem to have made great achievements find new directions for advancing
their ideology.
There is now a tendency to consider the actual stage of the ideology
complete and to try to globalize it, which is not right. The life
shows that in the actual globalizing terms, when it comes to fight
of cultures, there is again the basic of either synthesis, or dictate
of national ideology.
We see a model of democracy, based on a principle, which can be
different for Iran, India, or China on the one hand, and different
from the European one, on the other one. This also prioritizes national
ideology or the need to shape an idea.
Each nation has its ideology and it can be formulated or chaotic.
Unfortunately, we do not have a well-formulated ideology today that
would lead our nation on its engine. We have national parties, also
some state scale solutions, but not the pan-national, joint model
incorporating all the elements of the national mentality.
A nation should reach a high degree of self-organization to shape that
ideology. But it is not just us. Even nations like Russian are still
in searches. The big role is played by the fact of having a state,
which empowers these searches, consolidating national potential. The
more we strengthen our state, the more achievements we shall have.
