You believe in promoting the interests, culture, and unity of your country to achieve a strong, prosperous, and self-sufficient nation.
Nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty over its homeland. It is a sentiment based on common cultural characteristics that bind a population and often produce a policy of national independence or separatism. Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference, and is linked to the concept of self-determination.
The roots of nationalism are believed to have emerged in the late 18th century with the development of modern…

Do you think it's important for a country to prioritize its own citizens' wellbeing over global cooperation, and why?
@9H8GTLZ6mos6MO
Whilst I think that a nation should focus on looking after its own people, it should not come at the cost of our ability to work with other nations. It is possible both to prioritise improving the lives of the people of the nation and to cooperate with other nations on a global scale.
In fact it can be more beneficial to work with others to improve one's own nation to a greater degree than one could alone. The European Union is the primary example of this in that it creates a shared pool of investment which is used to provide funding for large schemes that benefit different member nations in ways that they could not do on their own.
We should never value any one group of people to the point where we are actively causing suffering and hardship to another.
@9KZQWW72mos2MO
The government should always put their own citizens before big corporations because we are the ones that keep the country running ect
@9KZJDQ62mos2MO
While a country is accountable to its tax payers it should also take care not to negatively impact citizens from other countries either directly or indirectly.
@9KZG4WD2mos2MO
Countries Ought to Not Be Exploited by Other More Powerful Nations just Because it's for the Best of that Empire. International Cooperation is Good, but Countries Should have their Own Sovereignty.
@9H6LW9B6mos6MO
I believe in being patriotic and to stand for my countries values and that the country should first look to its own existing citizens before global cooperation but that being said it is still important to have good relationships with the world as well.
@9KXQBJP 2mos2MO
Absolutely if the citizens aren’t prioritized they will resent leadership which makes for a weaker country. If a country becomes weak it therefore can afford less and less global support
Global cooperation is important, especially on climate change, however, the neoliberal idea of outsourcing all work via unrestricted free trade is painful for (poorer people in) rich countries and neo-colonialism for poor countries.
@9L3T8NQ2mos2MO
Both must be considered dynamically. On some issues, domestic action must be prioritised and on others a foreign policy approach is necessary. The proportion of prioritisation is balanced on a complex web of variables: political, economic, social etc. A government may have to enact policy changes to protect citizenship from external problems but this does not equate “deprioritising” foreign cooperation.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Can you think of an instance when your sense of national belonging was challenged by external perceptions?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you grapple with the contrasting emotions of pride and disappointment in your country's actions?
@9KXMH3K2mos2MO
I'm proud of the UK, but it's not the UK anymore. People have no respect for our history.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What personal traditions or customs do you associate with national pride, and why do they matter to you?

Sunday church services
The national anthem

@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
In what situations do you feel most connected to your fellow citizens, and what sparks that connection?
@9KKTWPW2mos2MO
A sense of common national identity and interests, a shared cultural history.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If given the chance, what aspect of your nation would you showcase to the world, and why?
@9HRK6VV5mos5MO
Nothing, the people of all nations are as valuable as eachother. To attribute anything done by those people to the nation they're from just creates more separation from those outside.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you describe the balance between celebrating your own culture and being open to others?
@9HPDDDH5mos5MO
Celebrating your culture must not intrude on anothers ability to do the same and if its stops them from doing the same, physically, through fear or intinidation ect it has become dangerous. Celebrating your culture, for those whose culture is deeply tied with imperialism and invation, must also be paired with acknowledgement of the negative past and intention to remedy those actions in our modern world.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
To what extent do you think a country should go to defend its sovereignty in an increasingly interconnected world?
@9H3RPD66mos6MO
I only agree with the statement if you take the statement to mean that we should protect our armed forces. I am deeply troubled by the continued cuts to military spending. Especially in our new world, we should be throwing more money at the armed forces. However, economically, mercantilism does not work and I do strongly believe that economic growth only occurs when globalisation is functioning and we are partaking in it
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
In a time of international tension, how do you think nations should express patriotism responsibly?
@9JGPRGQ4mos4MO
put up more flags and expect other countries to now them.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How has a historical event in your country influenced your personal values or beliefs?
@9LDPD231mo1MO
Brexit has had the most recent impact on my values. I believe it was a grave mistake socially, culturally and economically. Its all very well putting more 'power' in the hands of the government but they at least need to be fit to wield that power. We are always stronger together, talking and sharing ideas. If we want change we should try to influence from the inside, not follow a policy of isolationism.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Why might someone feel fully integrated into your country's culture and yet retain a strong sense of their original identity?
@9LF2SMH1mo1MO
We all have some roots. As long as we don't impose them on others and try to change the country to follow our traditions or vastly differing values. We can share our traditions with each other but country should preserve its tradition.
