Basque nationalism

In the poem “I Hear America Singing,” Walt Whitman, in his traditional patriotic style, tells a story about America during the nineteenth century. At first glance, the poem seems simplistic—incongruous with the complex works of other poets of the day such as Emily Dickinson. Although the poem does not have a specific rhyming scheme or require a large amount of imagination, it still communicates a powerful story to its readers. The message that Whitman delivers in eleven short lines is one that…

In source one we see that france is undermining their own values on nationalism and what they firmly believe, the message given off by the cartoonist is trying to show that by being a nation state and following similar values, you should follow what you believe, you either are a nation or not. This in comparison with the second source is similar in some manner because both resignation positivity towards nationalism and become a nation rather than partying and not being a nationalist.

prevented if there wasn’t nationalism, militarism, and alliances. These three reasons are the root causes of why WWI even occurred in the first place. Nationalism and militarism is what started pride in people of many countries that wanted to be the best and the alliances created a huge keg of powder ready to blow up any second with just a spark needed. Nationalism is what makes people feel pride in their country and gives them the feeling of superiority over other countries. Nationalism was a…

In the beginning of the chapter, it talked about how the Pledge of Allegiance brought controversy between politics, education, and religion. Students are in a way conditioned to recite the pledge. I remember going through a phase in fifth grade, where I thought that I shouldn’t recite the Pledge of Allegiance because of the phrase “under God” due to my religion. I thought saying “under God” would affect my faith towards my God, Allah SWT, but I also felt it was my duty to recite it because I am…

“We the People of the United States.” These 7 words created and unified a country unlike any the world had ever seen before. We live in a country founded on equality and opportunity. A country with a new future, in the hands of a generation that hasn’t even been named yet, with new needs, values and ideas. In school, we hear a lot about futures. We are advised on how to better our futures, and told of the people who did the same. We learn of the men who gave us our future, who wrote those…

I disagree that nationalism is inherently dangerous because it creates and encourages xenophobic attitude and policies. Nationalism does encourages fear and terror within a nation, but that does not mean it is dangerous. That fear and fright that nationalism creates, keeps a nation safe and secure. It also gives that same nation, hope and pride. Nationalism provides strength and motivation for citizens, so that one can be beneficial for their nation The good of nationalism has its positive…

Scottish nationalism in its entire existence has come as quite the surprise to various English people and even some Scots. There is a general satisfaction with the Scottish-British Identity. Nevertheless, this dual-identity has become weaker. There are the typical explanations for this decline of communal feeling. For example, 70 years have passed since united British residence against the opposing threat of NAZI Germany. Another possible factor would be the end of Britain as the world largest…

The US Flag is a symbol of the United States of America. It carries different meanings for many people but, in whole, the flag resembles the past, present, and future of the nation we are all blessed to live in. Because of the overall history of the US Flag, we still hold our right hand over our hearts while we pledge allegiance or sing the “Star-Spangled Banner.” The construction of the US Flag represents the past of the United States. The thirteen stripes symbolize the original thirteen…

Through “Census, Map, Museum” Anderson argues that nationalism is a product of how people think about their country. These thoughts are created by censuses, maps, and museums. Developed by the British, censuses in the Middle Eastern Asian states categorized by race while steadfastly ignoring religious affiliations. This classification made it possible for a “systematic quantification” of arbitrary racial lines ultimately leading to the development of segmented groups of the population…

The United States has welcomed immigrants during times of both expansion and positivism, however, during times of both economic stagnation and uncertainty, the anti-immigration sentiment does seem to rise accordingly. The 1850’s gave rise to a movement of political opposition to immigration in the United States called Nativism (Oakes 2013). Although immigration has always been a controversial and disputed issue in the country, the rise in the number of immigrants presented an opportunity for the…
