I'm just not so sanguine about nationalism, even if it's the nice inclusive sort you are talking about. I wonder to what extent any sort of nationalism whatsoever involves imposing an identity on some people that they don't want. Having said that, we do need to find some way of living together, and as I have said <a href="http://inastrangeland.wordpress.com/2007/08/09/more-on-diversity/" rel="nofollow">elsewhere</a>, we are incorrigibly diverse. Instead of expanding some sort of notion of who we are, we might just be better off redsigning our instutitons so that they better accomodate diversity.

I am working on a paper for university and your article just caught my sight. My paper is about what New Zealanders do in their leisure time. I know that sports is very important to them, but I would like to have some deeper information on what else they like doing and maybe, if someone knows, if there is a generation factor. I bet there is one as older people tend to like other things than younger people. My report should also contain some information on holidays, general hobbies and rituals in NZ. I hope someone can help me with this, because I really need some more information and as I wasn’t able to find it in the net, on government sites and in books I found here in Germany I hope someone knows some answers to this. Thank you! Hi!
