Based on our discussions in class, I have concluded that most people who fully support the aggressive nature of nationalism are just ignorant to the fact that what they are supporting is immoral. They blindly support nationalism without questioning it because they feel that they are just being loyal to their country. They probably feel that questioning nationalism would be questioning the morals of their country, which would be unpatriotic. Feeling like true patriots, they don't feel like what they are doing is wrong, because they are just supporting their country. Maybe if these people were more informed, they would think about it before blindly supporting nationalism. Although, I am sure there are people who would still support nationalism even if they were fully informed.

Why Does Anyone Support Nationalism?
Question: I
feel as though there are far too many people in America who not only blindly
support patriotism, but also fully support nationalism. Why do so many people
think that the aggressiveness of nationalism is not only perfectly justifiable,
but also completely moral?
