What Is Nationalism?
Number of pages:
9
ABSTRACT:
9 pages in length. Nationalism may have originally intended to draw people together, but many believe it has accomplished just the opposite, proving to pull people apart who would otherwise have no reason to battle. Indeed, it serves to divide what should be united a society. People are forced to observe beliefs they do not support, making it quite understandable why there are so many states opposed to the blanket concept of nationalism. Critics contend how it has not proven to embrace the people in the way it may have originally been conceived; rather, it serves to create intensified hostilities among those who were previously amicable. Some contend that despite all its past and present global eruptions, nationalism has not been a significant source of strife to the world order or international system; instead, where it poses the greatest threat is in its desire to dominate powerful states and people. To be sure, nationalism represents different things to different people but for the most part, it has traditionally affected the world on a state level as opposed to a much broader global scale. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
