Abstract
The observations presented in the article are connected with the analysed category of identity of individuals (broader community). The question connected with “I” (“we”), i.e. my personality (our community), is usually asked in acute (exceptional, emotive) situations.
The answers to this question are usually influenced by the context in which the examined subject is found and by the aim which is pursued by the asked question. Within humanities and social sciences, the concept of identity is predominantly derived from the Erikson’s model of the “health of identity”.
The criteria of identity, inspired by the formal organisation of the subject, are to be used here for the decision whether they correspond to the conditions of the respective socio-cultural norm, or not. The basic resolution whether the given culture is national or not, lies in its acceptance (or rejection) by the respective community.
