I checked online to find information about nationalism and patriotism. It said nationalism is an ideology or movement based on theĀ  nationā€™s own benefits. The definition of Patriotism means individual and collective support forĀ 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 are a little bit negative. Because nationalists some times just care about their nationā€™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 a nationalist.
