The title above isnt actually a question it is a problem - one that cannot be solved in the mind of every particular man or woman. My opening may sound a bit exaggerated  but I think it isnt and I will show you why. 
 First question to ask is what is national identity - one answer would be culture, language, tradition. But that is not the whole truth it's even a lie. Everyone knows several languages so it isn't making any more; culture - the cultures of different nations mix, disappear or change - the most valuable in each of them will survive , but there will be, there is already our culture - the consumer culture. Tradition is of no importance as we don't practice it, don't value  it - it is condemned to disappear. The only important mark of nationality that remains is hate and distrust - one government always tries to serve only the interests of his people not the neighbours people. People are egocentric and so they will remain in their hate against those who are richer, or those who have more industry or those who just made us suffer in the past. Everyone is a nationalist to a sudden extend - and that range of egocentrism, also called nationalism is the core of national identity. We want it because we act always emotional, our national mind tells us it makes no sense but we dont listen to it.
We really need globalisation, a world-union of nations who finally see themselves as human and not Russian French or Poles. The problem is we are not prepared for globalization - the starving efforts like the European Union dont stand to the real sense of globalisation. 
So, we established that national identity is not needed, only an obstacle to development, but still we will try to preserve our national identity, in fact the right to distrust to hate over people without any rational reason. We are hopelessly dependent on each other, the whole humankind, and in fact scope of globalisation is already a fact and national identity disappeared but we missed to remark that change that happened already a long time ago, but maybe our minds and hearts will catch up with the development at some time.
