Yu-hyun's opinion about Nationalism

Debate about Nationalism

Nationalism is a great love for a nation.
It is often associated with the belief that a particular nation is superioty to any other nation.
Nationalism can be good ideology to their nation. But on the other hand, it can bring about a wrong side.
The pro's side say, Nationalism is necessary and they prefer nationalism. Because, Nationalism has an aspect of unification, so when the original policy and order is being changed. conflicts and severe quarrels can happen. In this situation, Nationalism bring a way which is resolve the problem under the name of "Nationalism."
But I think it can bring about incorrect and wrong sides. If Nationalism oversteps bounds, it can cause discrimination. It means, if someone has excessive nationalism, they think "Our country is better than any other country, we are top of the world." So they can ostracize the other race.
And it can bring about cultural, economical recession.
Because people think "We don't need another country's culture or anything, Because we are the best. our culture is the only excellent culture and the others are inferior."
So to speak, in various situations Nationalism can bring about many wrong sides.
So I think the overreaction of nationalism is not helpful for everyone. so we have to found the correct and right meaning of Nationalism. It can be helpful and encouraging for every generation.
