Jingoism

It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. That is about the number that I want to write, so if I could copy one in here that would be phenomenal. However, I can 't, and therefore must write about what it means to be an American. It is the tendency of people to identify themselves with a group. Whether that be a team, a state, town, gang, school, country, it doesn 't really matter. People love to be a part of something bigger than themselves, and countries are no different and definitively fall into this category. Countries are normally relatively simple to group. For thousands of years, wherever you lived or your religion generally determined what nationality you were. Even today that is a part of determining whether or not someone is from a country.

I could possibly stretch my definition in order to include certain ideologies and demographics in other countries, but I feel that such a definition would…

Jingoism is defined as “extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy” (Merriam-Webster, 2003). Flanagan portrays this Japanese patriotism…

either banning the medium itself, such as in Brave New World or Ray Bradbury 's Farenheit 451 where books have become a social taboo or explicitly banned respectively; or by regulating the books which can be written so strictly that nothing published possesses any real meaning. The conflation of freedom of expression and free will itself are often explicit in such novels- for example in Brave New World, John 's individuality and humanity in contrast to the people who form modern society are…

since they did not accurately assume that the Russian army would have vast differences from the Chinese ones fought in the past. Furthermore, no amount of military strategy can prevent the real economic strain of fighting. However, it was not a complete loss for the military since this was a mere economic setback and did not destroy the chances of Japan recovering from the war. Lastly, the social factors of the war probably interested Yamagata more than other members of the Genro thanks to his…

of the Philippines, the Anti-Imperialist League was created in 1898. Imperialist were on board with the idea of Philippine annexation, it was seen as necessary to the survival of the United States. Factories in America were overproducing, the economy was in shambles, and desperation grew for newer markets to sell products.
