ABSTRACT
Nationalism can be defined, roughly speaking, as the powerful emotional attachment people have towards the country, and its history, institutions, and core values, in which they are born and grow up. In this book, The Culture Code, Clotaire Rapaille explains that children between the ages of one and seven are 'imprinted' with their culture and these imprints shape their behavior to a considerable degree. The first American flag was authorized by Continental Congress when it passed the Flag Act on June 14, 1777. There have been a number of different versions of the flag until the present one with 13 horizontal stripes and 50 stars in a blue canton was authorized. The red color in the American flag stands for valor, the white stands for purity, and the blue stands for justice. In many countries in the Middle East, groups that dislike our foreign policy often burn American flags, as a means of showing their hatred of all things American.
