Globalism Versus Nationalism: Gender Inequality In The United States

When I was younger I had a rule about my room. It was one plain and simple rule, no shoes allowed. This was because I loved Lego’s and I loved to sit in the middle of my room surrounded by them. Like most children, at an early point in my life I was always told about germs and to wash my hands frequently. So I also knew of the unsanitary mess that was the bottom of your shoe. Therefore, I would never allow people to wear shoes in my room. While my room is such a tiny scale compared to the world, it’s this idea on a larger scale that is nationalism.
Nationalism, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, is described as two things. The first being “the attitudes that members of a nation have when they talk about or express their country,” …show more content…

We trust one another as nations and attempt to hold other countries accountable, but where does it end? The Stanford Advocate has called Globalism versus Nationalism “the new economic divide.” So while the central discussion or argument around Globalism versus Nationalism maybe hasn’t changed in years, it currently is. Through technology, the world is getting smaller. You may think that doesn’t make any sense as technology allows us to expand and explore, but in a way it also makes us smaller and more connected. If you consider streaming and live feeds and how quickly we can get information from the other side of the world, we can’t have the mindset that we had years ago. Global market and global affairs were so far away and distant we didn’t have to address them, but with a higher rate of speed caused by technology we can’t blindly look past what goes on outside of our nation, especially if it’s something that can or will affect …show more content…
I’m going to safely guess that number is next to none. With that in mind, I’m also going to bet that none of them have a phone made here in the United States. Years and years ago we were able to make everything here in the U.S., but now as a result of our ever expanding world, the global economy affects the price of every little thing you pay for. Therefore no matter what stance you have on either nationalism or globalism, you should compare the two, and understand that there are times when it’s simply one or the other. Also, consider that it just might not always be one way. The importance of Nationalism is a key factor in our nation. As individuals and leaders, we should look ahead and understand what the implications could or would be beyond the first wave of impact from our
