Nationalism in the 21st Century

Nationalism in the 21st century refers to the political ideology emphasizing strong pride and loyalty towards one's nation, often prioritizing national interests above others. It can unify citizens and promote identity, but also lead to increased xenophobia, protectionism, and conflicts if taken to extremes. Modern nationalism is influenced by globalization, social media, and economic changes, shaping how countries respond to global challenges while reinforcing national sovereignty. It remains a complex force that can foster unity or division, depending on its expression and context.
