Debate About Nationalism
By Jung Ji Eun
Nationalism is an ideology that thinks of nation as the best thing. What do you think about nationalism? I think nationalism is a good thing. Those who object my opinion say that one race can ostracize all the other races because races think only of their own profit. Also, nationalism can lead to intolerance of others, so in globalization, nationalism leads nations to cultural, economical recession,said counterparts. And they say that one race can kill other races, such as Nazis and Hitler because of nationalism.
But I think nationalism is a good thing. Nationalism makes a race unify for their goal. Without nationalism, we could not have achieved historical events such as the 2002 World Cup and so on. And without nationalism, our nation's order will break down.
Nationalism can be divided into two parts. One part is exclusive nationalism, another part is open nationalism. The latter regards harmony with each nation in the whole world as important thing. But people often think nationalism is only an exclusive thing, bad thing. That is not true.
Like this, nationalism has good points and bad points. But for the maintenance of a nation, nationalism should become nation's basis. Therefore, I think nationalism is a good thing.
