Response to Ourania Palaska - Day 1 Nationalism

I agree with how you say that a Nationalism focuses on 1 country and doesn't let people have positive thoughts on other countries other than their own, but what do you mean when you say that it can have a positive effect on people? Do you mean that it can unite them and let them communicate better?

I agree with your thoughts on Nationalism. I also think that blocking out different countries and believing in the superiority of your own may cause your nation to grow more and more naive of nations outside your own.

# data[].attributes.body
I still believe that far too many people have died because of nationalism that is far too unhelpful to be beneficial.

# data[].attributes.body
I still agree with what I said in the beginning, I think that there are way more negative effects than positive. As I watched the video I learned more about nationalism and its effects. It talked about how racism, genocide, and dictatorship are connected to nationalism. The whole video is all about nationalism being made up but it very important in politics. Its also identified based on orders and everyone is fighting over keeping national identity. People are fighting for the past and the future, and building the world based on shared values.

# data[].attributes.body
Nationality changes our reality because what happens to our nation we believe that it is also happens to us.  For our nation we fight for a common past and a common future because we have to feel that our nation is as powerful as it always was. An example for my opinion is the war between the Greeks and the Turks were the Greek fought and won and would still want to win if something happens between the two nations.

I still wouldn't change what I think of nationalism but I would add something on the negative side which is that when something bad happens to your country or your country does something bad, it can affect the way people think of you. For example, after 9-11, Muslims were looked as terrorist even tho some had nothing to do with it.

I still believe that Nationalism can be a good and a bad thing. Nationalism is the general description of who a nation/country is. It's made up of the religion, race, borders, language, and beliefs of a country. Nationalism can also harass the country and its own people as it is racist. It separates people from the other world, as they become fanatic about their country and don't see what's happening in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Nationalism can have both a positive and negative effect on a nation/country, but I would most likely agree with someone that believes Nationalism does more bad than good for a country. Even though Nationalism may unite a country because people will feel like they share the same thoughts and they will have better communication, I still believe that Nationalism really creates a close-minded country that doesn't understand and explore different cultures, which as shown in the video may cause genocide, racism, and dictatorship.

# data[].attributes.body
I still think that nationalism is a bad thing, because of racism, and it separates people.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that nationalism is negative because it has racism people, my opinion changed abit after watching the video and reading the article, now i feel like nationalsim is extremely racist because it separates different people religion and where they are from, but I still think its fine because it makes people support their own country, and now i know that this plays a huge part in politics.

# data[].attributes.body
The Nationalism it self is not that bad, but just some time it will cause problem, for example people might think a person form other country is not on their "team" so they would tread him differently, and thats basically racism. Some time it might even cause war

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video, I understood more the meaning and importance o nationalism. The idea of nationalism is fake, and is made up, in order to unite everyone that’s from the same country. Nationalism makes people team up with others from their country, and have mostly positive opinions about their country. For example, if another country is doing something opposite of their country, they will comment on it negatively, even though it might be the right thing to have done. As the video mentioned, nationalism was important to a country, because it showed the support of their people - that they would fight wars for their country, and support it no matter what. This is a very negative aspect of nationalism, because it makes people’s opinions very biased towards their country, and stops them from seeing whats best for all the countries and their points of view. An example that the video mentioned, is that people change their opinions on other countries, based on what damage they do to their own - for example in movies, when their country is defeated, they get upset or sad. Nationalism has stopped people from supporting other countries, or even seeing their point of view, and even what is right for everyone - they immediately support their own country, without actually realising who is right and who is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that nationalism is negative beacuse it has this racism bettwen people beacuse everyone is a human they are not diffrent with eachother. Like in the video they said that the half population of some countries can't even speak there languge like france. It also the support for your country/nation . I also think its positive because you show intterset to your country/nation  for you religion, culture,heritage, and your history.

# data[].attributes.body
First of all let's just start by saying that nationalism is made up. There was a need to group a huge amount of people and make them want to fight, supposedly for their country.(Video) That is also how today many presidents make up their speech just like Donald Trump did, or the Brexit. Accordingly that is what also brings unwanted wars, and racism. Nationality is a way that someone can control their nation and is used everywhere even in countries under dictatorship. So to conclude nationalism is bad, because its all for the good of the powerful.

# data[].attributes.body
I still believe that nationalism is more detrimental rather than beneficial. Even though nationalism describes who we are as a country, it separates us from people of other culture and opinions. I believe that people have gotten used to the idea that a country is the combination
of language, race, and border. When people grow up believing in national identity, they experience the pain and pride their nation feels as if it was their own, they learn to prioritize their country, while degrading everyone else.
We can understand how nationalism has grown to what it is today when we look back at how it started. It started with total war, people loving their country so much they'd sacrifice themselves for it, the government
was declining the church for power, there was urbanization, people wanting to unite the inside of the borders with a common language, as well as mass communication, which made countries more interconnected. Through this
Information we can understand why nationalism is such a big deal in modern society and why people believe in it, but I think that it is slowly destroying our world and separating the people of different cultures.

# data[].attributes.body
I still think nationalism is extremely racist and one sided after the video and the article because nationalists discriminate other countries and just like the example with Rocky people's self esteem goes down when they see their home nation lose and want to swear other nations and another example of nationalism is WW2 which shows the effect of it

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion has not necessarily changed since last lesson, but I have better understood the concept of nationalism. Nationalism leads to discrimination, and racism, and is present in every country in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
Nationalism doesn't have good or bad, it's the people who adopt it that are good or bad, for example, I'm a patriot, I love my country but when I see something is not right, I say it's not right. some people though are fanatics, that can be a problem, someone being fanatic with their country can cause them to think of others less or even worse, hate them, think of a fanatic from the USA hating a modern German citizen because of Adolf Hitler and the start of WW2, it's not their fault that happened

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Nationalism can still be good or bad. The article mentioned that you can have pride in your country and not hate other countries, it gave the example that you can be proud of the sewage system in your country, but not hate France because they use a different sewage system. The video, however gave the point that naionalism is just a modern sense of being in a group, when in reality there is no guideline for a country and nationalism is a very bad thing, because people use it as as excuse to be racist. I agree with both of these, because although nationalism may not really mean anything, I think it is still good to have pride in your country, as long as you don't abuse it and use it as an excuse for racsm.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Nationalism can have a positive or negative effect on a nation. Nationalism basically means extreme loyally and/or faithfulness to a person’s nation. I first thought that it sounded pretty good. I mean I think that almost any nation will want to have their citizens give loyally to them.  The only problem is that Nationalism is extreme loyally. This means that the person will do almost anything or everything they can do for their nation. This is mainly how wars start. This is why I think that Nationalism is bad. Some people can be too biased about their country, which leads them to make bad or poor decisions. 

# data[].attributes.body
Nationalism is the support  of a nation . It is very important, and it has positive and negative aspects. First of all, it can be viewed positively, because it shows interest towards a person’s country, culture, heritage and history. However, it can also be viewed negatively. If someone is too biased about their own country, it could make them blind towards events that are happening in the world, and they will also not be able to see other countries’ perspectives. It’s important to be part of many cultures and have explored many different countries and civilisations. Nationalism is mostly positive, when its balanced and controlled .

# data[].attributes.body
I still believe Nationalism can be good or bad.The video mentioned National identity is fake and is brought up by the people instead of religion and god. The video mentioned on how in reality there really isn't a guideline to follow, but its made up by the people and they use this as an excuse. They brought up an example of self esteem with whatever happens with your county. Like the world cup. They said on how if they [participate the people are more likely to riot.It brought up on how we are used to living like this, we are living based of shared values, which is creating a new myth, which is saying this is all made up in our minds we are just used to it

Before I get to my opinion on Nationalism, let’s explain what is actually is. Nationalism is the loyalty and devotion to a nation. This in itself doesn’t sound all that bad. Everyone should be loyal to their nation. It is very good to stand for your nation and love it no matter what. exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations. This is where it gets wrong in my opinion. Devoting yourself into religious activities for your nation is very humble and good for you to do; but bringing down and thinking that other nations are worse and not as good as yours is not a right way to behave to other cultures. This often leads in war and I think that there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed for Nationalism to be considered doing good for your nation

# data[].attributes.body
I think nationalism is good to have because then everyone supports their country and wants the best for it. Also, If everyone supports your country and try to make it into a better place, then you can be proud of it. It also allows you to share your culture and learn different ones for example, you are talking to you're talking to someone and the ask you where you are from. You tell then and share information about the country and then they can do the same. In the other hand, it can be something bad because it you look at your country as the best and that there is nothing wrong with it, every country has a problem, so you might ignore the problem without noticing that you are in danger. In conclusion, nationalism can be good if you don’t go to over the line.

# data[].attributes.body
Nationalism has a reputation of a bad thing, but it has two sides to it. Nationalism is being loyal and proud of your country, which is okay until it gets taken to a certain extent. It is not a good thing to be conflicted to your country, which proves nationalism is partially a good thing. However, nationalism often gets taken too far, and someone places their country above another leading to racism, discrimination, et.c. Extreme nationalism can ruin relationships, from between two people, to between two countries.  It is of human nature to hide weakness, which helps many things get carried too far. In arguments, even if someone knows they are wrong, they will be unlikely to admit it. This connects to nationalism through people only seeing the great in their country, and how people would rather escalate the conflict than showing weakness through collaboration. Nearly all international conflicts root to the fact that nations often put nationalism before collaboration. This does not just apply with countries, nationalism is just an example in international relations. A strong nationalist will eventually be blind to the problems of their country, and nationalism itself, which leads to hypocrisy. Every country has nationalists, some more than others, but one may criticise a nationalist of another nation, without even realising that they are one to their own.

I dislike nationalism due to the amount of people died because of it in wars.

# data[].attributes.body
I think nationalism is a negative thing because people separate people for being from different countries. Like for example the classroom is divided into different groups based on where you're from.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that nationalism is good, as long as you don't overdo it. It is ok to have pride in your nation, but you should also be able to see the flaws with it and strive towards progression. If you ignore everything wrong with your nation, it will never improve, and that can be very dangerous.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, I think that nationalism is negative concept. Nationalism is the worse version of patriotism. For example, nationalism can cause damage including conflict with others and fear that someone would take over the country. On the other hand, patriotism is where citizens will do something in support of their country.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that nationalism can be more detrimental rather than beneficial. Nationalism often tends to start conflict with others, it undermines the rights of others and creates xenophobia.

# data[].attributes.body
Nationalism can be more of a  bad thing rather than a good thing. It can be good sometimes because you can feel like you belong somewhere in the world but it can also be a bad thing because you might believe that your country is better than the other countries. That can lead up to many disagreements between different nations. People from other nations may believe something way more different than what you believe in and that can cause a reason for war to happen or a terrorist attack or it can separating states because of their differences.

Nationalism has positive and negative aspects. It it negative because it marginalized other countries and cultures. Also is gives the impression that the other counties aren't that important. It can be good because it gives the nation a chance to grow and promote their ideas and products.

# data[].attributes.body
I bealive that its can be bad. Thats beacuse if you dont have good connections with other countries and closed minded.  By other countries offers or values. It can also show passion for a country.

# data[].attributes.body
nationalism has negative and positive effects because of nationalism people stay like in their own place cause they dont want to interact with other countries because every country has different religion and opinions. but its also good because some people need to know their place .

# data[].attributes.body
What is nationalism? Someone could go on for ever and talk about nationalism, but let's get the key facts. Nationalism is the devotion of someone to a nation or religion. No one told you not to be devoted but it must be in control. Nationalism is when it's out of control and someone does anything to praise, and place primary emphasis on one religion or country.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that nationalism could be more something negative than something positive. That's because you don't have a connection with other countries and it also makes you close minded in the other countries culture or ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Nationalism has more negative than positive effects. The negative effect is that it's only about one country and like that it makes people to not want to interact with other countries and they don't care what other countries can think and their ideas. It also has a positive effect though and it's the emphasis.

# data[].attributes.body
I think nationalism is a bad think. It makes people stay in their own little bubble and not interacting with other countries.Because of this it makes all of their countries beliefs, traditions and everything else is superior.

# data[].attributes.body
I think nationalism is more of a bad thing than a good thing. It could make a lot of people closed minded about other countries opinion and beliefs, and enhance ones thinking that they are supreme. But sometimes its a good thing and a show of pride -ribal

Day 2

My opinion stands, i realize now  thats its an idea that plays and could in the future even play a huge role in politics concerning the world.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that nationalism can be good and bad. It is mostly bad because it eliminates good connections with other countries. It can also be good since nationalism is a way of associating yourself with your home country and having a sense of pride about it. It is mostly bad though since making enemies isn't something desirable. Brexit is an example of nationalism since they don't want to be in the EU which also disconnects them from an important part of Europe. -Panos Giannopoulos

Day 2

My opinion stays mostly the same but now I understand that nationalism is made up, it's just an idea that doesn't really mean much in reality but theoretically it plays a big role in global politics.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Nationalism has positive and negative effects. It has a positive effect on the country it's giving emphasis obviously. It has a negative effect on all other countries because it seems like only the specific country is important and the others aren't. That points out the specific countries' beliefs and excludes all the others. I think nationalism is more of a bad idea because excluding all the other countries and giving emphasis on its own effects a lot of people's choices and beliefs.

# data[].attributes.headline
I believe Nationalism limits the connections you have and makes you close minded on other countries and their values. It can be also a show of your passion for your country as you are basically putting a big barrier over every other country besides your own.
