Gourt > Society > Politics > Nationalism (22)
Nationalism is a greatly varied concept of human social and cultural identity that holds that nations (either ethnically or culturally defined) are the "fundamental units" for human social life, and as such take precedence over any concepts of universalism as well as any foreign concept of nationalism. Nationalism makes certain cultural and political claims based upon this belief; in particular, the claim that the nation is "the only legitimate basis for the state", and that "each nation is entitled to its own state." Nationalism also refers to the specific ideologies of various nationalist movements, which make cultural and political claims on behalf of specific nations.
Principles of Nationalism
Nationalists define individual nations on the basis of certain criteria, which distinguish one nation from another; and determine "who is a member of each nation". These criteria might include a shared language, culture, and/or shared values which are predominantly represented within a specific ethnic group. National identity refers both to these defining criteria, and to the shared heritage of each group. Membership in a nation is usually involuntary and determined by birth.

Does it really matter if your country is "greatest" in the world. I'd rather live in the happiest nation. Overt nationalism is scary.

In The Federal system, each state is it's own sovereign. We are fifty sovereign states, joined for common purposes, not out of nationalism.
