Pride in one's own culture.

• A. Ethnic Nationalism
• B. Nationalism
• C. Cultural Nationalism
• D. Civic Nationalism

Answer: (C)

Pride in one’s own culture focuses on valuing and protecting the customs, language, arts, and traditions that define a cultural community. That emphasis on culture as the basis of national identity is what cultural nationalism centers on. It’s about recognizing and celebrating a shared culture as the heart of the nation, sometimes seeking to preserve or promote it within a broader political entity.

This is different from ethnic nationalism, which ties the nation to a specific ethnicity and can be exclusive; and from civic nationalism, which bases belonging on shared political values, laws, and institutions rather than culture. General nationalism can refer to pride in the nation more broadly, but the phrase given points most directly to cultural nationalism.
