Donkey's Presentation

Nationalism is more complex than what I previously believed it to be. It is no longer just feeling like there is nothing greater than being a citizens of a nation. It is not associating the fear of nationalist on a global scale. Belonging to a group can be positive it can fuel a group of individuals but as seen in America if a groups values are harmful towards other groups there inspired by a fear of change. I do not think that nationalism its self is harmful but I believe that the love for ones country should not be used to exlude others and to fuel hate for those who are seen as not american. The United States was founded by immigrants who plundered the land and destroyed the way of life of an entire race of people. Of course these facts are never truley spoken of as they would go against the values of nationalists today.
