Nationalism is a love for one’s country and is between groups who share a common heritage. Ideas of nationalism pushed people to strive to unify their common peoples in the 1800s. Reforms that result from nationalist ideas can be either positive or negative, though. In Italy, nationalism helped to bring separate states together, but it also tore Austria apart. Serving as a force for unity in Italy and disunity in Austria, nationalism was a major catalyst for change in the 1800s. Nationalism…

In America, Americans live in a country that allows us to have the freedom of choice, bringing all types of religions, languages, and ethnicities to the United States. If I were to describe our country, I would start off by outlining this country as a place where people abide by the laws and consider questions such as a person’s age, salary, weight, or religion offensive. If a foreigner were to approach an American, the American might take a step away because they like their personal space…

Take a Stand (Rough Draft) “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all,” (enforced by President Eisenhower, 1954). The Pledge of Allegiance should not include the phrase "under God," considering that America is not a religion based country. Based on the constitution, religion is only mentioned twice as respect but not to honor it. In this day in age equality is a…

America is not a nation that is overruled by fear and hatred. America is not weak and scared of change. America is a nation that cares about all its people, not just the people who are rich or white, but also the poor, the LGBT community, the muslims, the minorities, the women, and the disabled. America would never turn it's back on all it's people regardless of race, sex, or religion. America would never turn a blind eye on all its people who are hurting, but instead, listen to their pain and…

What the American Flag means to me The American flag has been a great symbol for two hundred years and it still continues to inspire Americans today. I have always looked at the flag and been inspired by the determination and hardwork it took to make the flag an iconic symbol. It makes me think about what our founding fathers had to do and how hard they had to fight to earn that flag. To me the flag means so much more then what most people would say. If ypu ask someone what this question most…

been historically labeled as the “Era of Good Feelings”. Although many would argue that this label is accurate due to some feelings of nationalism that emerged during the period, but numerous other social and economic divides prove that this label is in fact mostly false. After the Battle of New Orleans, there was initially a sharp increase in the amount of nationalism that resided in the hearts of United States citizens, which is mostly what the label of “Era of Good Feelings focuses on”, but…

Patriotism is a glorious thing. Most Americans think of it in association to stars and stripes, which represent our country. To others, patriotism evokes thoughts of our dazzling national anthem or the vivid hues of red, white and blue. Each person interprets the concept of patriotism in a different way. While many people can grasp an understanding of the term, only few can genuinely admit that they are patriotic. In my opinion, patriotism is so much more than a simple, daily recitation of The…

In a single day at Great Britain, 33,000 men signed up to join the war against Germany; nationalism was strong among the fighting countries . Unfortunately, even with the high influx of soldiers joining, death would permeate the battle fields forever, making this “‘jolly little war’” a trudging four year world war . As the war continued to take the hundreds of lives each day, the fervor support of nationalism and war dwindled due to the devastating consequences. One of the main reasons why…
