Pride
Pride is a human secondary emotion characterized by a sense of security with one's identity, performance, or accomplishments. It is often considered the opposite of shame and, depending on the context, may be viewed as either a virtue or a vice. Typically, pride arises from praise, independent self-reflection, and/or a fulfilled feeling of belonging.
The word pride may refer to group identity. Some manifestations of pride in group identities are: ethnicity (e.g. Black Pride), memberships in civil rights movements/associated marginalized groups, such as Feminist Pride, Gay Pride, and LGBTQIA+ Pride. In the context of marginalized groups, the display of pride is generally a show of defiance against discrimination and bigotry by people outside of said groups.Pride may also refer to a sense of patriotism that accompanies membership in a certain national identity, regional identity, or other affiliations (e.g. proud to be a university alumnus).
Pride may also be used to refer to foolhardiness or a unearned, irrational sense of one's personal value, status, or accomplishments. Pride is often used synonymously with hubris or vanity. Pride is interpreted in some classical theologies as one of the seven deadly sins. When viewed as a virtue, pride in one's abilities is known as virtuous pride, greatness of soul, or magnanimity. When depicted as a vice, it is often known to be self-idolatry, sadistic contempt, or vanity.
