Britain is known as the United kingdom . England,Wales, Northern Ireland and scotland are the four nations that make up Britain. In Britain there are different types of nationalities around the four nations such as; Indian, Somalian, Arabs and Japanese people.
People who live in England are called British people. People who live in Wales are called " welsh " they have there own language other than English. "Scottish" people are those who live in Scotland and last but not least " Dutch " is a name given for those people who live in Nether Ireland. In my opinion i don't think british people will be offended if they were called british because this is who they are.
"National Symbols are defined as the symbols or icons of a national community ( such England) , used to represent that community in a way that unites its people. This unity is based on a common pride, which is incited by different represenattions; i.e visual (e.g.the national flower), verbal (e.g. the national anthem) and iconic (e.g. the flag). These symbols are then used in national events and celebrations, inspiring patriotism as they include every member of that particular community , regardless of color or creed" (Kweet, 2012).
