So, since you dont know Ill explain. Not that youll pay attention..........or learn anything.
Nationalism involves a strong identification of a group of individuals with a political entity defined in national terms, i.e. a nation.
Conversely, nationalism might also be portrayed as collective identities towards imagined communities which are not naturally expressed in language, race or religion but rather socially constructed by the very individuals that belong to a given nation.[6] Nationalism is sometimes reactionary, calling for a return to a national past, and sometimes for the expulsion of foreigners. Other forms of nationalism are revolutionary, calling for the establishment of an independent state as a homeland for an ethnic underclass.
National flags, national anthems, and other symbols of national identity are often considered sacred, as if they were religious rather than political symbols.
