Exceptionalism in History
Exceptionalism in history refers to the idea that a particular country, culture, or society is unique and stands apart from others due to special qualities, values, or accomplishments. It suggests that this entity has a special role or destiny that justifies its actions or influences. For example, some nations believe they have a unique moral mission or historical significance that shapes their policies and identity. While it can foster pride and unity, it can also lead to biased perceptions that overlook shared human experiences or other perspectives.
