Homework

Check the homework with Summer!

I check online about nationalism and patriotism. It said nationalism is an ideology or movement bace on the self nation’s benefits. The definition of Patriotism means individual and collective support their country in a positive attitude. Concentrated on national pride and national self-confidence, and a commitment of striking for the independence, prosperity and strength of the motherland. So patriots and nationalists are the two types of people who believe those two theories. In my opinion, I feel patriots are a kind of positive people but nationalists a little bit negative. Because nationalists some time just care about their nation’s benefits and maybe strike other nations. American president Trump said he is a nationalist and he did a lot of bad things to other nations. So I would like to be a patriot than nationalist.
