I believe the answer is:

realism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pragmatic attitude' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'is found in kingdom' is the wordplay.
'found in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kingdom' becomes 'realm' (kingdom is a type of country or realm).
'is' put within 'realm' is 'REALISM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for realism that I've seen before include "True-to-life quality" , "Pragmatism" , "Practical approach" , "Art genre that is true to life" , "Unromantic view of the world" .)
