Document Summary

This is the idea of having a strong identification of a state. Here, there is a belief that every person has the right to belong to a state or nation and has the right to the privilege of belonging to that nation. Political ideology comes to play as the nation is seen as positive. Not all forms of nationalism require people going to other places, some forms of nationalism are reactionary, such as keeping the country pure. Other forms of nationalism are revolutionary, some forms seek to create a homeland for an ethnic group. Revolutionary form of nationalism is interesting because although it usually focuses on the country as a whole, there can be competing forms of nationalism within the country. A nation is a group of people who are bound together by language or other things such as ethnicity. We are born into a nation and have nationality the same way we have height, eye colour or skin colour.
