is nationalism a form of prejudice? Why or why not?

Throughout history, humans have expressed biases and prejudices against others without reason or personal experience. While some people may view America as a country of culturally diverse and proud people, others may think of America as a prejudiced and xenophobic nation. In your opinion, is nationalism a form of prejudice? Why or why not?

I liked your point that "whether nationalism is a form of prejudice or not can depend on how it is expressed and interpreted." What factors impact whether nationalism is positive or negative?

What is nationalism?

Nationalism, of course, is a curious phenomenon which at a certain stage in a country's history gives life, growth and unity but, at the same time, it has a tendency to limit one, because one thinks of one's country as something different from the rest of world. One's perceptive changes and one is continuously thinking of one's own struggles and virtues and failing to the exclusion of other thoughts. The result is that the same nationalism which is the symbol of growth for a people becomes a symbol of the cessation of that growth in mind. Nationalism, when it becomes successful sometimes goes on spreading in an aggressive way and becomes a danger internationally. Whatever line of thought you follow, you arrive at the conclusion that some kind of balance must be found. Otherwise something that was good can turn into evil. Culture, which is essentially good become not only static but aggressive and something that breeds conflict and hatred when looked at from a wrong point of view. How are you find a balance, I don't know. Apart from the political and economic problems of the age , perhaps, that is the greatest problem today because behind it there is tremendous search for something which it cannot found. We turn to economic theories because they have an undoubted importance. It is folly to talk of culture or even of god. When human beings starve and die. Before one can talk about anything else one must provide the normal essentials of life to human beings. That is where economies comes in. Human beings today are not in mood to tolerate this suffering and starvation and inequality when they see that the burden is not equally shared. Others profit while they only bear the burden. The greatest problem in the middle of the passage refers to which questiona.how to curb international hatredb.how to contain the dangers of aggressive nationalism.c.how to share the economic burden equallyd.how to mitigate hardship to human beings
