GREAT UNION CENTENARY – A MOMENT OF THE ROMANIAN IDENTITY CELEBRATION

ABSTRACT: A country movement forward means respect traditions and legacy. Both of them give as whatwe traditionally mean by identity. Any state without identity cannot live its own present, nor can it plan itsfuture. In this paper, I have managed to highlight the most important moments that gave visibility and credibilityfor the Ministry of Culture in Romania, in an attempt to offer Romanian citizens a cultural-historical affiliationso that they can be proud of on their centennial anniversary. The role I had during this period full of intensefeelings such as patriotic valences honored and obliged me to assume a mission. A mission of formingcharacters and valuable attitudes. From the position of university professors, we don’t just transmit pieces ofinformation, but we help students to become responsible and good citizens, specialists, and instill love for theirown country.
