Does the European identity exist ? What are or should be its
components ?
![Page 3: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
With the extension of the horizon, the question of the definition of Europe and its identity is more and more analyzed by various authors and journalists.
However, this debate has existed for centuries.It exists but it stays in developement
![Page 4: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The identity is something which distinguishes us from others.
We notice that it does not exist in the classic sense of the term.The identity is also lawful on a more spiritual and more irrational principle, the feeling of membership in the same community, a " will to live together ", resulting from the division of the same values and from the same objectives.

Goals of the EI
European identity intends to erase differences between people from different European countries
There will be a European president
That will mean a peaceful Europe, with no more conflicts...
![Page 6: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is EI dedicaced to failure ?
![Page 7: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Firstly, that is clear that many people don't care about Europe. They just care about their own country
But, opposite to this, EI wants to erase the culture of each country and make just one
That will never work ! People will surely defend their own culture and traditions.

Another EI goal is to make a pacific Europe. That means no
more wars between countries
But, remember that most of the wars of the last 300 years were almost INSIDE one country : civil wars, etc...

What should be its components ?
Instead of making a list of all the components, we are going to see it with the portrait of a young European conscious of his European Identity.
How should be the perfect European citizen ?
![Page 10: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
It is a European citizen speaking two extra languages plus his mother tongue, and English fluently
He has a good historic knowledge of his country the importance of which he measures the importance

TO C
To conclude !
Remember three things
![Page 12: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The European identity is far from being defined and this vagueness is strongly felt by the current citizens,
No one really cares about it, and it is rather of political and intellectual level.
![Page 13: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
States all seem to feel the desire to give themselves common identical landmarks in a world worrying about the idea that the national identity is insufficient.
![Page 14: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The European identity cannot build itself without a voluntary action of the member citizens
![Page 15: Summary Part one : Is there a clearly defined character in our country ? By alexandre Part two : Does European identity exist ? By tanguy Part three :](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649ed85503460f94be636d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
European motto : united in diversity
European anthem : Ode to joy
And don't forget the European day, May, the 9th
