Is the British identity in decline?
Britain today is a nation state that is multi-ethnic , which contains many different , religions , groups and languages. National identity is formed from a common culture of shared meanings but is British identity under threat?
According to sociologist Waters British identity is under threat in more ways than one. This is to do with boundaries between nation states may become less important as international financial markets and transactional companies are becoming increasingly dominating world trade. So this may have a big impact for British culture and identity. British companies such as Rover were taken over by foreign concerns and therefore we are also losing our companies. Music films and television programmes are now being produced for an international market rather than a British one. There are a lot of concerns on those products which will become more globalise.
