9. Explain how globalization altered people's sense of identity. How did globalization
challenge national identity and the idea of the nation-state?

According to Benedict Anderson in his monumental book Imagined Communities, nationalism was a phenomenon that emerged in Europe and the rest of the world around the end of the eighteenth century. Anderson argues that popular literature, particularly the novel and the newspaper, began to be printed in local vernacular languages as European printers began moving away from publishing entirely in Latin and French. The emergence of a local literature that was written in a language ordinary people could understand enabled the formation of a sense of solidarity within national boundaries. Citizens of the nation could read about one another for the first time in history and share a connection with other people many miles away with whom they had never interacted. According to Anderson, the proliferation of a shared literary language permitted national citizens to form an imagined relationship with other citizens, absent any direct contact.
