Globalization impacts national identity by challenging traditional notions of statehood and cultural coherence. As countries become interconnected through trade, migration, and technology, national identities can evolve or fragment. This process fosters a complex interplay between global influences and local traditions, which may lead to a dual identity for individuals. While globalization can promote cross-cultural understanding, it also raises concerns about the erosion of unique cultural identities and can provoke nationalistic sentiments among those who feel threatened. Navigating this balance is essential for maintaining societal cohesion.
