Abstract

The study looks into the role of national identity in the formation of personal identity and character in individuals. The study seeks to comprehend how national ideas and ideals influence how people choose to identify themselves and experience the world. The study also considers ethnicity and regionalism, as well as how they intersect with national and personal identity.

Using statistical data from credible sources, inspection of relevant studies, use of primary data and the case study of Tanzania, the study’s findings try to understand better how external forces dictate the lives of the everyday person.
