Pride, as in self-esteem, cannot be found in something that is not of ourself. We can value our culture, and we can be content that we exist in such a culture, but we cannot take pride in our culture.
Why does pride have to be so in line with "self". Why can't you be proud of something bigger than yourself? And I'm curious as to what you feel drives those who take part in strictly cultural things. Like these singers:
I would say that they are proud of their heritage, and are trying to further it.

I wasn't saying pride couldn't apply to cultural achievements, just that I don't believe pride can ONLY come from accomplishment.
