Is nationalism good?
Nationalism is extreme pride in the history, culture and successes of one's nation. That means to have love for your own country and the belief that it is better than any other country. People who approve of nationalism insist that nationalism is necessary and good because it is natural. It leads people who live in your country to have the power of unity. But l think over-nationalism is too conservative in globalization. For example, 고종‘s father, 흥선대원군, insisted on the "closing-the country-policy" and failed to accept other countries cultures appropriately.
As a result, this persistence made Joseon's mordenization slow. Nationalism is extreme or fanatical patriotism. Of course, proper nationalism is sometimes fine. But over-nationalism is not good. So appropriate nationalism is important.
