What the fuck is "Nationalism". I don't understand it. Is it another class like Communism or something? Someone please give me a short, awesome answer.

Fuck this stupid test.

Edit - Is it like racism and discrimination against because you don't live in the country?

Nationalism is a belief, creed or political ideology that involves an individual identifying with, or becoming attached to, one's nation. Nationalism involves national identity, by contrast with the related construct of patriotism, which involves the social conditioning and personal behaviors that support a state's decisions and actions.

Yes, I believe it's another class like Communism.

So this last part of the essay that I need to finish says I need 10-15 paragraphs minimum. But the other 3 essays are a minimum of 5 paragraphs. And in the beginning of the test, it only says you need a minimum of 5 paragraphs per essay.

Someone tell me something is completely fucked with this instructor. Lol. Oh, and it's only worth 25 points just like the other 3 essays. I've already passed the class with B+ so guess what? Fuck the 10 paragraphs. I'll do it with 5 paragraphs and earn half the points.

About to pad this shit. Uh ... before that, I might entertain myself to some hentai.

Basically nationalists are those who want to promote the idea of a national identity, that they form a nation.  Nationalists often define their nation based on their spoken language although basing a nation on territory, history and religions or race aren't uncommon criteria as well as other cultural artifacts. Once they have defined their group based on those criteria, nationalists typically encourage people to be proud of their nation and to "protect" it from others.

An example I'm particularly familiar with is the Quebecois nationalist movement which is very much centered around the French language, although some Quebecois nationalists also emphasis our Catholic history and, some of the art and culture being produced in here, and also poutine as if this culinary monstrosity was something to be proud of.
Quebecois nationalists often encourage the separation of Quebec with the rest of Canada. The movement has inspired some of ours laws, like the Bill 101 which among others prohibits any signs and labels in a language other than French unless the labels also has a French translation written in bigger letters, and also it prohibits parents from sending their children in primarily non-French schools unless they themselves have received an English education within Canada.

If you ask me it's all a bunch of BS. In any case, nationalism has become a standard propaganda tool in almost every countries in the world. Tell people how proud they should be to be *insert people's name here* and that they should support *insert policy here* to protect their nation. It's intellectually completely devoid of content yet people everywhere fall for it all the time. It's just tribalism disguised as noble.

Don't just assume that you are right. Verify with the best tools available and if you are wrong, change your mind and you will become right.

Yo..

How's everyone tonight? It's Sunday, 3:37 PM Central Time. I have Japan's clock on my computer and phone. I really like Nexus 4.4 update. It lets me see other countries current times.

^the 4.4 update is actually giving me problems for my nexus 7 :( it gets stuck on whatever rotation (landscape or portrait) that the last app was on (e.g., if I play a game, the screen rotates to landscape and I can't get it back to portrait unless I restart the tablet).

However, I am still enjoying this tablet <--- never had one before

I'm wondering if I should get Nexus 7 (2nd) or not. I mean, if I do get it ... I'll eventually only use it when I'm outside my room or when I'm about to fall a sleep. Not sure about it yet.

First day of winter and we got freaking 8 degrees over here. I swear first the fucking volcano from Iceland ruined the summers for several years now (being colder than usual) and now we get a fucking tropical storm over here.

It's just being really proud of your country and really supportive of them.

Most people don't actually know the difference between nationalism and patriotism - I didn't until I googled it just now...

I would say it's about the people, not the administrative part of a state. To me it just means that I will prioritize people with whom I feel common identity over others. Then again I will prioritize people of my local community over other countrymen... and my family/friends over local community.

You get the point, nationalism is just one step or level in a ladder of setting preferences of people (and then come animals, etc...)

Last night, I stupidly remembered I had an essay due tomorrow so I spent 4-5 hrs writing a 1000 page essay today (which came out pretty good, considering I didn't even finish reading the novel) only to have my printer crap out on me.

Time for a new early morning purchase before class tomorrow!

She's a freshmen in college, if there's a school that's handing out 1000 page essays I hope the prof gets shot.
