A nation is a mixture of many elements:
a defined territory; sometimes, a single
ethnic group or, conversely, an amalgam of
different ethnicities and languages; a common
historical past; and a combination of cultures
and civilizational values. As classically defined,
culture is the set of collective systems of values,
tenets, customs, and social behavior shared
by a human community.1 The amalgamation
of musical, literary, philosophical, pictorial,
sculptural, architectural, cinematographic,
photographic, handicraft, sports, and culinary
traditions on the one hand, and the technicalscientific
legacy on the other, forms the core
of what could be called «the national soul».
