Document Summary
But things are not so simple: this is completely wrong, minorities. Seemingly obvious answer: the ideology of nations. A nation is a group that wants to have its own state. Do they have collective rights: ex. ) Arab funding for schools are not the same for better schools for jews: ex. ) African americans have individual rights but there is cultural discrimination. What is a nation: a group of people who believe they share a common fate, Nationalism says that the state and nation should be congruent. But other places like germany, its cultural history, culture and language. Its not cultural its political in the usa. But this occurs only under modern conditions. Never before in human history did people insist that their leaders be of the same culture and never did leaders try to make the people share their culture. It"s this need for congruence that needs to be explained. High culture and low culture: european monarchs and populations.
