Summary/Abstract: The author makes an attempt to prove that manifestation of a sense of the communal identity does not pose a threat to a nation-state. Conversely, it may enrich the nation-state provided that the real world becomes disenchanted, stereotypes and superstitions are abandoned, which is part of the translators of cultures task where pedagogues do belong to. The act of imposing identity with no focus on the fact that one can become a carrier of multitude identities that coexist with one another on different levels, is a delimitation of opportunities and the profoundness of the potential whether of individuals or groups. Furthermore, it is a form of colonization that may lead to confrontation based on the dichotomy “we” – “they.”
