Cultural Nationalism

You believe that promoting and preserving a nation's unique culture and traditions will foster unity, identity, and pride among its citizens.

Cultural nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the shared characteristics of a group of people, such as language, culture, religion, and historical experiences, as the basis for national identity and unity. It is a form of nationalism that places the nation's culture at the center of national identity, rather than legal, racial, or geographic factors. Cultural nationalists believe that their nation's culture is unique and needs to be preserved and protected from foreign influences.

The concept of cultural nationalism emerged during the 18th and 19th centuries,…

Do you think it's important to protect local businesses that contribute to national culture, such as bookstores selling local literature?

 @9HGH9TY from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, because cultures from all over the world should be respected and protected

 @9HGHH5H from Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

Of course. I think it is important to protect local businesses that contribute to national culture as, there are some who still believe in that sort of thing. To destroy it I feel would be a violation of the first Amendment.

 @9HGHCVX from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yeah I do, these local businesses make up American Culture.

 @9HGHBJ8Socialist from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes I think its important to protect local buisnesses that contribute to national culture because not doing so sets a dangerous precedent for the right of people to discuss and address topics they find important.

How has a mentor or elder in your family transmitted cultural wisdom to you, and what impact has it had?

 @9LH4Q5RWomen’s Equality from Missouri  answered…1yr1Y

My father is very political and that has rubbed off on basically everyone in my family that knows or speaks with him.

 @9LLZWD7 from Utah  agreed…1yr1Y

I don't this is proper, I think all should have an equal opinion, but I see this happening in most cases.

How do the stories or legends from your culture influence your personal aspirations or dreams?

 @9KDGZ7W from Virginia  answered…1yr1Y

They definitely inspire me to be me, and encourage me to be everything I wanna be.

 @9KGSSYG from California  agreed…1yr1Y

Legends, regardless of culture, are all about strengthening the morality and confidence of individuals and their society at large. It's important for us to hold onto the values and impacts these stories can have on people.

 @9KG94Q7 from California  answered…1yr1Y

Almost not at all. I'm really carving my own path away from expectations from other people, although that might be influenced by stories of people not following norms.

 @9KD7QN3Independent from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

They influence my aspirations by inspiring me to work hard and achieve certain things.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What role do you think schools should play in preserving local dialects or languages?

 @9HGB2QCanswered…2yrs2Y

school should have a teacher follow group of students to class to help translate information so they have the same education as English speaking kids.

 @9HG9S3RDemocratanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but they should learn english as quick as possible

 @9HG9QBTanswered…2yrs2Y

I feel school sometimes takes away local dialects and languages because everyone speaks English.

 @9HGB8ZQ from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

maybe it would help with having a variety of different language classes.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

When you hear national anthems or traditional music, what emotions or thoughts do they evoke in you?

 @9HG9QST from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

That the national anthems and traditional music is important to those cultures, and it is all beautiful.

 @9HG9N4N from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

I have no particular thoughts or feelings when listening to cultural music or national anthems.

 @9HG9RDSRepublican from Tennessee  answered…2yrs2Y

my thoughts immediately think of either that race, or just think about dancing.

Trump is the best!!!

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you feel when you see cultural elements from your country featured or misrepresented in popular media?

 @9HTQ34N from Utah  answered…1yr1Y

I think that it's not a good thing and it should be represented right.

 @9HYP3FD from Idaho  agreed…1yr1Y

There should be an organization that would recommend popular media to make changes accordingly, but only if it's a well known company

 @9HWD3ZSRepublican from Tennessee  disagreed…1yr1Y

I think it is wrong to have things like that misrepresented in the country, with all the media that we have access to

 @9HWC4HCPeace and Freedom from Kentucky  disagreed…1yr1Y

I feel like it is wrong to when others mistreat others culture, they have a way of doing things and learning things, just like we did when we grew up. may be different to all.

 @9HTQ855 from Oklahoma  answered…1yr1Y

When things are misrepresented, I feel frustrated. However, there are a lot of problems in my country, and I understand that they are important for media to discuss.

 @9HX9X5T from Tennessee  agreed…1yr1Y

If I were European, I would be very upset if American media misrepresented my country, maliciously or not. The same standard should be held by all media. America should represent other nations well, and if other nations continue to misrepresent America, our media should call it out.

 @9HTQC7X from Ohio  answered…1yr1Y

I don’t like when things are misinterpreted. I feel it leaves a bad image behind on the greatest country in the world.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Do you think cultural nationalism is more about celebrating diversity or creating uniformity within a country?

 @9HG9K22 from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

We should be celebrating everyone and their cultures equally

 @9HG9RQF from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it is more about celebrating diversity then anything because cultural nationalism is a group of people who do a lot together.

 @9HGB3XJWomen’s Equality from Arkansas  answered…2yrs2Y

Creating uniformity within a country because diversity is already widely celebrated. The idea is to accept other's diversity.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Do you think learning about the cultural heritages of others has an impact on your own self-identity; in what way?

 @9HT4W2G from Ohio  answered…1yr1Y

It’s the only way. Otherwise you get an incredibly dumbed down education

 @9HT4LW5 from Wisconsin  answered…1yr1Y

I think it is good for us to understand the heritage of other nations.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Should schools focus on teaching the cultural history and traditions of the country they are in, or provide a more global perspective?

 @9HD4NKC from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

While I think it is very important to know the true, unfiltered history of the country you reside in, I also think it can be beneficial to learn more about global history. I don't think it should be a one or the other scenario as all beneficial education is important, but if I had to choose I would choose to focus on learning more about the country you currently reside in.

 @9HD4CGG from California  answered…2yrs2Y

A bit of both, yes learning about american culture is important but so is teaching about other countries traditions.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does your personal wardrobe or style reflect your cultural background, if at all?

 @9HG8M6C from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

It does not. Just allows me to be comfortable in my skin as it is

 @9HG842ZRepublican from Louisiana  answered…2yrs2Y

I have a style i would say and everyone is different.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How can individuals actively participate in preserving cultural knowledge without formal education on the topic?

 @9HW9R8K from Missouri  answered…1yr1Y

Culture shapes identities and fosters notions of community by defining how individuals and groups relate to one another, how meaning is created, and how power is defined. Furthermore, culture provides a context for ideas about partnership, trust, and negotiation. Our society will get further in cultural acceptance if we just mind our own business.

 @9HW9G77 from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

Individual can take some free time to learn about history that they are interested in and tell others about it, either in real-life, or online.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you balance the preservation of culture with the rights of individuals who may not fit into traditional cultural norms?

 @9H4VXTHRepublican from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

There could be different groups made for the individuals who may not fit into traditional cultural norms, so they can feel included and not alienated.

 @9H4VL9D from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

idk but i want some pizza right now. they should also just get with the program honestly

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

If you could introduce a friend to one aspect of your culture, what would it be and why?

 @9KNDFDB from North Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

The appreciation of elders and the value of the word of elders is very important in Hindu culture. I believe that sharing this aspect of my culture is important to help promoting the appreciation of elders.

 @9KNCF3P from Ohio  answered…1yr1Y

I would introduce the concept of grace and forgiving that the Bible instructs me to do in my religion because it is important to give people a welcoming perspective and because the church has had a negative reputation with the world, being seclusive and predjudice.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How do you feel about the cultural changes brought by younger generations within your community?

 @9KD8GX2 from South Carolina  answered…1yr1Y

I live in the south, there's been minimal "cultural change" since the civil war.

 @9KD8DPD from California  answered…1yr1Y

as the younger generations grow up and get more educated, the more progressive they are and the more they experiment with their culture.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Have you ever observed a tradition from another culture that you found particularly beautiful or meaningful?

 @9JD9KVNanswered…1yr1Y

 @9JD9DTB from Pennsylvania  answered…1yr1Y

no, yes it was meaningful and interesting but unless i understand the meaning and reasoning behind it.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Imagine a typical day in a world where cultural nationalism shapes all aspects of life; what might that look like for you?

 @9JHBX53 from Texas  answered…1yr1Y

What that might look like for me or my generation is that we can do what aligns with who we are without receiving criticism.

 @9JHB88M from New Jersey  answered…1yr1Y

Hell on earth. If I had to subscribe to American Nationalism I think I’d be better off kms

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

How does passing on cultural crafts or skills to the next generation shape a community's future?

 @9KSH9M9  from Washington  answered…1yr1Y

makes climate change worse by letting the next generation deal with it because our generation is too lazy

 @9KSH8HM from Utah  answered…1yr1Y

It can bring more cultures to light and make people more accepting

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can a country's culture be considered superior to others, or are all cultures equally valuable?

 @9HDPJYM from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

i think all cultures are equally valueable until it becomes a problem

nazi germany for example

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do you think cultural symbols like flags or monuments impact a nation's unity?

 @9HGGXGVPeace and Freedom from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I don't think they impact a nations unity, because they don't ever change for very long times

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think technology is affecting the transmission of cultural heritage among young people today?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you define 'national pride,' and do you think it's important for a healthy society?

 @9H46956 from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

National pride is simply being proud of your country and being willing to work to improve it. It is very healthy for our society because we see the effects of anti-americanism within our own borders.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

What does 'home' mean to you within the context of your cultural identity?

 @9KDXXRZ from Ohio  answered…1yr1Y

This is a tough question because the United States is so diverse. The values and customs differ between states and even counties and cities.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1yr1Y

Can you share an experience where engaging with cultural art forms like literature or cinema gave you a deeper understanding of another culture?

“Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”

By Chuck Todd, NBC News:We are getting awfully close to the moment when it might be fair to say, “Throw out everything you thought you knew about this election.”We are now going from a presidential campaign that left the public disinterested and at times disgusted it to a campaign that I could see generating an electorate that might be as interested, if not more so, as in 2008 and 2020, two of the highest-turnout elections in the last 50 years.If the Democrats do end up with a new nominee — and it’s looking more likely by the hour that they will — that, too, is likely to suddenly trigger interest in what the new nominee has to say, which in turn could engage the electorate in a way that the pre-debate version of this campaign just didn’t.But before we get to this campaign reset, the Democrats have to figure out what their ticket looks like and, more important, how quickly they can get their ticket selected and certified by the party.As of this writing, my sources indicate to me that about the only folks who are still trying to rationalize Biden’s staying in this race all share the last name of Biden, with the possible exception of Biden’s longtime chief political strategist, Mike Donilon — who, as the gatekeeper of the data that makes it to the president's desk, is starting to get blame along with Biden and his family for Democrats’ being in this position.
