You believe in promoting the interests, culture, and unity of your nation to achieve a strong, prosperous, and self-sufficient society.
Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes loyalty, devotion, or allegiance to a nation or nation-state. It promotes the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty over its homeland. Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference, and that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity. It further implies that each nation is unique and fundamentally different from all others, thus it deserves its own political institutions.
The concept of nationalism emerged…

How does the landscape or environment of your country influence the way you see yourself?
@9JGZCQLIndependent1yr1Y
I feel more disconnected with my country every day.
@9JGZFQV1yr1Y
When I look at America I see the closest to the promised land that we'll ever see (besides heaven). Rich, dense, and diverse with resources, I want to protect it.
@9JGZ9MZ1yr1Y
It doesnt influences me much because its just a self point of view
@9JGZCFH1yr1Y
I see myself as someone who is spoiled. I take the safety in our country for granted. in other countries there are people who have to worry about if their house will be bombed or taken over from terrorist groups.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you explain the concept of national pride to someone who has never felt it?
@9KFTKDM1yr1Y
My country will be the greatest, nobody will beat us
@9KFV88R1yr1Y
Nationalism is where you can be a free and independant member of society whilst being active in your society

@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Describe a local issue that you believe is a microcosm of your nation's larger challenges or values?
@9KPV9P51yr1Y
I feel nationalism can make or break society and can be turned into animosity towards communities.
I believe nationalism creates more of a divide in people than unity and can be turned hateful.
@9KQ5KFGRepublican1yr1Y
Illegal immigration is a large concern both nationally and locally. There are laws in place regarding immigration and they should be followed as they have throughout the history of the United States. Only now are these laws not being enforced, which creates challenges in values at both the national and local levels.
I see people dislike goverment and demand more defunding of goverment programs, however qualified individuals who would help them and their needs are turned away due to low pay.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What's one change you hope to see in your nation in the next decade?
@9J2MH3D1yr1Y
That the entirety of the United States undergoes a severe downgrading of military and police expenditure and focuses on socioeconomic problems that plague hundreds of millions, the concept of American Nationalism (especially Christian Nationalism) will cease to exist. (And Patriotism is simply a cover word for Nationalism, something the United States' people no longer require to live their lives.)
@9J2Y2FG1yr1Y
People throughout the country believe the police and military should be defunded, based on the very little bad they do, But if push ever came to shove and we ever went to war the military would be the first people they look for. Or if they are home and being robbed lets say, the police would be the first person they call.
@9J2MHP2Republican1yr1Y
Eliminate protest by paid athletes at professional sports events
@TheRollslapperDemocrat 1yr1Y
That would increase the size of the government, limit people's liberties, go against the constitution that the founding fathers wrote, and promote cancel culture.
@9J2MC4K1yr1Y
Increase in workers rights and decline in suicide rates
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What is a tradition from your nation that you hold dear, and how does it shape your identity?
@9HTGLZFLibertarian 2yrs2Y
United States constitution is a fairly large and quality document that helps guide us and helps. Tell us the difference between right and wrong. It helps establish people's rights in this world. I believe if it's followed properly and 12. Probably the world would be a better place. We need to go back to civics 101.
@9J2LFCY1yr1Y
People are more than capable of accepting foreign states, and it shapes my identity because it says that I am a very easy-going guy.
I believe in american pride and that america should be self-centered meaning that tax dollars should go to benefitting america rather than foreign countries. I also think that Americas needs should be met first.
@9J2MS2Q1yr1Y
Traditionally the nation has religious roots. While not very religious, I see the value in a solid moral compass that we can get behind to unite us toward our goals. "In God We Trust"
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you felt that your nation was misunderstood; how did that affect you?
@9JDFKJT1yr1Y
Not really, I feel our nation has held our ground and fought for whats ours.
@9JDF6D21yr1Y
I never felt like this nation was misunderstood and it never affected me.
@9JDF7D41yr1Y
I do not feel affected by this, I feel like the only people I need to understand me is my friends and family, although I do understand some people struggle with this and aren't heard or recognized by the nation.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's one aspect of your nation's way of life you'd like to preserve amidst globalization?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you define patriotism, and do you see it as a positive or negative force in society?
@9HF2BWBProgressive2yrs2Y
Patriotism is the support of the ideals and identity of one's homeland, country of origin, or adopted home. It forms the basis of nationalism, which is the extreme form of patriotism, however it is a distinct philosophy separate from nationalism. Patriotism is not mutually exclusive with international politics and reinforces group identity. However, the latter can lead to xenophobic exclusionary ideals. Patriotism becomes nationalism when one views their homeland as unique and deserving of recognition for its uniqueness, which leads to xenophobic and domineering foreign policy to a greater extent than does patriotism. Overall, patriotism can be both a negative and a positive
@9HDZT3P2yrs2Y
Love of country, pride in country, devotion to country. Patriotism is a positive force in society.
Patriotism, is the watered down version of Nationalism. Patriotism is loving your country and thinking the rest are alright, as Nationalism is loving your country and hating the rest. And in my opinion, I think Patriotism is a negative force on society as it may lead to conflicts among different people of different Nationalities.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think younger generations view nationalism differently than older generations; why might that be?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think there's a line between patriotism and nationalism; where do you draw it?
@9HGVZPT2yrs2Y
When you're pride for your homeland starts to become hatred towards other countries that are not your own, you end up on a very slippery path.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How does the concept of a national 'melting pot' versus a 'salad bowl' resonate with you?
@9J2LQC9Independent1yr1Y
Salad bowl is a better analogy. We don't have to become more homogeneous as a society.
@9J2M2J3Republican1yr1Y
I am neutral about the melting pot. Though I believe that there are advantages to the wide variety of cultures, I am aware that it could also lead to many social and political disagreements
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What do you envision for the future of your nation, and how do you see yourself in it?
@9J2MKTH1yr1Y
We should actively forge a common national identity built on common values to bind us together as a nation of diverse individuals. If we are to lead internationally, we must first ensure the well-being of our nation and our citizens.
@9J2MH5P1yr1Y
I see our nation going into a time of great political ignorance. Preferring to not offend certain groups of people rather than exposing them to reality. I don’t really know if my vision will change but I feel that our country is too accommodating to the wrong things.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What local aspect of your nation do you think deserves global recognition, and why?
@9HTGLZFLibertarian 2yrs2Y
Our system Justice an outer system of divided responsibilities in government. Always making sure there are checks and balances.
I think our global recognition could do better as a country of the US where we live.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you balance being open to global ideas while maintaining national traditions and values?
@9HK56372yrs2Y
In order to be open to global ideas while maintaining national traditions and values I like to keep in mind the actual needs of real common people and their needs rather than people who are financially well off.
gave people a new sense of identity and also led to an increased sense of competition among nation-states.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How does the idea of 'unity in diversity' within your nation resonate with your personal experiences?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's a local custom or tradition that you think others should know about?
@9JGYBMD 1yr1Y
I think Nationalism should be adopted in every country. If you have no pride for your country can you expect others to respect your country. America is known for guns and war we have made our trade mark and Americans support it.
@9JGX9KV1yr1Y
One notable local custom in Upstate New York is the tradition of maple syrup production, particularly during the early spring months. Upstate New York, especially regions like the Adirondacks and the Catskills, gives an ideal climate and landscape for maple syrup production.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How has your sense of national identity influenced your choice of friends, hobbies, or career path?
@9KFVHB91yr1Y
I believe that my friends are entitled to their own opinions and I do not believe in choosing my friends based on their beliefs. I pick my friends based on their character and how they act.
@9KFV28J1yr1Y
I have found friends who share the same ideals and morals as me. Many of them feel betrayed by the nation they are supposed to be able to trust. That is how I feel. I feel no sense of national identity, as I have nothing to connect to. As a person of color, I have never felt welcomed or like I really belonged here.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Have you ever faced a situation where national pride helped you through a tough time?
In the Nationalism topic is that I faced was really nothing but there’s situation that could happen.
@9JGZ2HK1yr1Y
No I have not but the U.S. has a lot of national pride and it's very visible.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you handle a situation where your national values clash with global ethics?
I would follow global ethics over my national values.
@9JGZMXC1yr1Y
I think depending on what the situation is but most of the time it is wrong
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What personal experiences have reinforced or challenged your sense of national identity?
The roe v wade ruling made me not care about the country.
@9JSGJFJLibertarian1yr1Y
The failure of our past two presidents in creating a sturdy economy and bringing equality to our country that is based around accepting all.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do personal sacrifices made for your country during historical events inspire you today?
It shows me that people have bad times, but bad times will not always be a death sentence. You can overcome some of the hardest situations thrown at you with determination and patience.
@9HK39KWRepublican2yrs2Y
The idea that this country was founded on Christian values is very important, and the idea that we should have lots of freedom is a great idea that we should be proud of. But on the other hand we should still be able to change, and grow as a nation.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Does belonging to a nation shape who you are more than your individual choices do?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Is there a difference between being proud of your country and being nationalistic, and if so, what is it?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do certain national achievements make you feel about your country's place in the world?
@9HTGLZFLibertarian 2yrs2Y
When your nation does something that makes you proud. You feel proud to be part of it
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you think of a time when your nation came together in a crisis, and how did it affect your sense of national identity?
@9HTGLZFLibertarian 2yrs2Y
After 9 eleven, the world came together and nobody thought of selfish needs. It was simply we have to revealed and we have to get those who got us.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What are the benefits and drawbacks of a strong national identity in an interconnected world?
@9HHSJNXRepublican2yrs2Y
benefits are we have alot more trade and acess to alot of different things
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you share a moment when you felt exceptionally proud of your country?
@9HJQ4D62yrs2Y
During 911 our country came together as one to grieve and realize our lands are not invincible to terrorist
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What aspects of your nation do you think are misunderstood by others?
@9HK4VLG2yrs2Y
I think that US citizens do not realize how much of a warmongering country the US is.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do your nation's historical achievements shape your current perspective on it?
@9HJDNC32yrs2Y
Having pride and where you were born is stupid, you don’t control where you were born, so why would you be proud living in a country that you have no control over whether or not you were born.so if you were born in a poor country that had no opportunities you would still feel proud ?or because you were born in a country that has more opportunities You feel pride as a result of that …that’s stupid.
