Abstract

Entering the national collective is an essential component of the further development of the national identity, and the identity of the personality, where a particularly big problem arises if a change occurs in the national, religious identity. The question arises what if one identity turns out to be totally contradictory, it grows into the conditions of the opposite national culture. Nira Yuval Davis cites the example of Arab, who grew up in the Jewish community, who was an adaptive child, and only after seeing the documentation, only when he was growing up, he saw the data about his origins. He sought to acquire Kuwait citizenship, which was impossible, because the laws were so strict that the biological mother and surrogate mother had to be the same religious traditions (Nira Yuval Davis 2002: 44). Whether​ the rapid development of the genetic industry, the advancement of technology and technology makes such laws absurd is one of the issues on which it wants to respond by focusing on Malthusian and eugenic discourses. The first principle of building a national discourse is the belief in the potential of supporting the increase in the country's nationality. An example of this is the rate of decline in birth rates in Japan due to the conditions of children's lives, which has led to the need to deliver monetary rewards for firstborn children in order to become fertile. In Australia, the population, who settled in, tied up for increased fertility, where their country and workplace were insured. The relationship between Palestine and the Israelis also caused the need for increased reproduction of the nation, due to land ownership. Similar examples are found in Slovenia, Northern Ireland (Nira Yuval Davis 2002: 46). The higher the birth rate of national minorities in some countries, such as Bulgaria, also required the need to strengthen national identity, and the same case was recorded by America at the beginning of the twentieth century when Roosevelt condemned the sterilisation of women by linking the act to the suicide of the nation (Nira Yuval Davis 2002: 46) .
