James, at the same time is a father to two young children , then this makes him feel more interested in the policy carried out at school of his children, which would otherwise had been irrelevant to him

Since James is American, he believes that he lives in the greatest country in the world, and in doing so he believes and feel proud so in July he goes for the Independence celebration, he also often believes that other countries lack the liberties of the US. In doing so he reflects being identified with his nation.
