1. Imagine you are a political scientist from India, the U.K., Germany, or Brazil (choose one). You are asked to help the newly democratic country of “Bostonistan” design a new constitution. Bostonistan has a history of conflict among religious groups, which are dispersed throughout the country—not every religious group lives in its own region.…
Many different things would impact whether nationalism was brought to a country or destroyed it. Nationalism in Europe in the 1800s brought both positive and negative effects to society. One positive force of nationalism was groups of people were starting to come together for one cause, but some nations used radical ways to get everyone together. In Italy, Giuseppe Garibaldi recruited a 1,000 red-shirted volunteers and they won control of Sicily.…
Many people love their country and although many may not agree with everything their country does, most have a deep pride in and will support their homeland no matter what. This is no different for World War 1 era citizens around the world. Without nationalism the Great War would not have been as intense and wide scale as it turned out to be. In the beginning of the first world war, many people wanted to fight to protect and serve their country and what their country believed in.…
The question is true because nationalism had a revolutionary impact that united people. Then it toppled empires composed of many ethnic minorities. This then contributed to the outbreak of wars in the nineteenth century because of all the disagreements of a multi empire. Document 1: The impact that the Levee en Masse had on the French people was that it wanted people to form an army. For everyone when put together they can create warriors to excite hatred of kings, and to preach the unity of the Republic.…
Defiance Oscar Wilde stated that disobedience is a form of social progress because it involves the community coming together to face a conflict. In any country, state, or civilization; working together to overcome a dilemma is the only way to have a positive improvement for us people. When it comes to being very noncompliance with people that are in power, there tends to be bloodshed, it can cause the lives of some. It’ll hurt when there’s rebellions, or revolutions; people get hurt and some can die but the outcome of it should always be able to finish and accomplish the job for those who couldn’t make it. Of course, just like the Revolutionary War, when the colonies wanted to become autonomous and detach from Great Britain.…
The Civil War claimed the lives of over 620,000 soldiers; these statistics were not equaled by the combined toll of any other American conflicts until the War in Vietnam. The devastation of the battles was received throughout the country and on both sides of the conflict. Due to the drastic economic differences in economies in the North, with its booming industry, and South, which had mainly cotton plantations, the Civil War was initiated. The opposing moral views of slavery, and therefore the political strain between the North and South was transfigured by the influence of the economy. It is evident when reviewing both the economies of the North and South, that they had many differences.…
During the Domestic Reform protestant husbands were taught to teach their wives and children how to obey and be disobedient. Protestants believed that it was the religions responsibility to keep their patrons inline by teaching them the word of god and, setting rules based off their religion. Eventually, husbands were taught to be in control of their homes and, hold control over their wives. In my opinion the Protestant religion was the start of sexism, control over children, and the diving of roles in a household.…
Though sometimes it can taken too far as seen in WWI. Nationalism gives citizens confidence in their nation and their strength as a people. It assures them that their country is without blame and cannot be held accountable. On the other hand, nationalist ideas can also demonize rival nations, showing them as aggressive, deceitful, savage or uncivilised. It convinces many citizens their nation is being threatened by the imperialistic ideas of other nations, even if their nation are the ones with the imperilistic ideals.…
Nationalism is a shared feeling between a group of a geographical and demographic region seeking independence for its culture or ethnicity. Nationalism can be expressed as a belief or a political ideology that involves an individual becoming attached to one’s nation. The interest of a nation as a whole held to be an independent entity separate from the interests of subordinate areas or groups and also of other nations or supranational groups. An extent of nationalism can only be pursued by nations or countries when the effects of their nationalism does not harm any other nation or country; if that point is reached, or conducting a systematic way of reaching that point, it is called ultranationalism, an extreme form of nationalism. The source…
The federal government needs to act directly on the individual. To explain why this is the case, we must first begin by explaining why governments are implemented among men. According to Alexander Hamilton, Human nature has proven that, “The passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint.” (Hamilton, 1961) Therefore, governments have been implemented among men as a means of bridling the passions of individuals which undermine the dictates of reason and justice.…
Nationalism caused the First World War because if a country believes in nationalism, then conflict can happen because the country will think they are better than anyone…
The variety of issues that the United States has faced over the last two decades forced the country to focus on its own economic recovery. The United States saw a significant economic turnaround after shifting its focus from “global policeman” to domestic issues. During this period, the United States retook its position as the preeminent world power, recapturing the highest GDP and balancing the national deficit. While the United States scaled back its foreign assistance, states began to fail, and radical groups took haven if these areas. Failed states continued to rise as the United States developed its technologies, energy developments, and resource independence.1…
Governments and Power Governments need the support of their citizens in order to stay in power. Most of the governments try to sustain their power by doing different kinds of propaganda and manipulating their citizens. Those governments think that they need to have their citizens under control and prevent any dangerous movement that is opposing the government, by various techniques. While a few of the governments use force on the people and are harsh to stay in power, most of the governments subtly convince their citizens by falsely promising welfare to them and furthermore affecting their thoughts in various ways to impose their selfish ideas on them. Governments are affecting their citizens’ thoughts by falsely telling that what the government…
To many people, nationalism has a negative impact on the world. There is a lot of evidence to prove that nationalism has taken a toll on many people. During the era of the French Revolution in 1789, Europe did not favour their citizens, people were treated like slaves and there was no citizenship in the Government. Many innocent people died for no reason in that time period. During World War 1 there were over 37 million military and civilian casualties.…
Every nation and country has a way of running itself; a way to govern what is considered lawful and unlawful. In the United States of American, there is a massive controversial debate about whether our democracy is majoritarian or if it is more pluralistic in nature. Some may argue that the mass public, or every citizen in the country, is able to control the government’s actions. Others will state that many groups are able to work together amongst themselves to be able to allow more involvement of the citizens in a majority of the nation’s decisions. Both of these ideas of how our government works are similar in ways as well as different in many other ways.…
