Nationalism, good or bad?
Have you ever thought about the decision of Donald Trump, the president of United States, to ban seven Islamic countries from entering to the States, including: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen? It is called nationalism, and Donald Trump is a good example of a nationalist. Nationalism has many different definitions, one of them is spirit or aspirations common to the whole nation. Nationalism has two sides, negative and positive. Sometimes nationalism can lead to prejudice and wars between nations which is negative nationalism, conversely, if it helps people in a nation to be united for same goals and events that is positive nationalism.
