| Rezumat: | One of the essential elements of the national heritage is the national language- our mother tongue- which represents the preserver of the national spirit that Iohann Gottfried Herder focused on and which is the identity value that we all must cherish. On the social level, our national language operates upon reality while on the psychological and cultural levels it feeds our identity. In a normal, healthy, society this phenomenon is common sense but in the area of the so-called “ex-communist” countries it has been deliberately affected, as programmed, and now it needs to be rebuilt as well as the civic attitude or the civil society. Vibrating when one hears the national anthem is normal, knowing its lyrics is normal, too. What then can we call the lack of respect and minimum decency? The lack of such feelings and reactions can be translated as what? How can we interpret these facts? Normally, we should associate our national song with the most representative symbols and concepts of our cultural identity and our national language with our most valuable part of our heritage. When we do not do this, are we simply ignorant? That is why we should implement the “programme language” in order to counteract the effects of the past Soviet Communist Programme of identity dissolution as well as the present phenomena of globalization in the form of “Americanization” or even “MacDonaldization” which are affecting most of the members of the young generations. The implementation of such a “programme language” could really help the youngsters and all the others rediscover and cherish, respect and preserve our national identity which is culturally vital. |
