Ried, I am going to begin to mark this - I don't know if you have completed your thoughts but this is information for a paragraph.

Topic: To what extent should people reconcile their contending nationalist loyalties.

 * Question 1: What choices have people made to affirm nationalist loyalties? **

Government is made up of individuals, and those individuals affirm their nationalist loyalties in different ways. Different people with different backgrounds show their loyalties differently. For example when the First Nations urged Queen Victoria to let them remain a nation, under the Crowns' rule she allowed this. Canada therefore kept the First Nations happy. For another example Canada has played and still does play a role in the Middle East, such as helping communities protect themselves ,  training police, and  removing about one third of the estimated 10 to 15 million land mines in Afghanistan. These are some choices that the Canadian government has made which has affected Canada as a nation. This is past and present proof that people who make up the nation affirm their nationalist loyalties by their choices and actions. Citizens have their right and their duty to vote for their democratic government and affirm their nationalist loyalties. We must remember that world leaders who are in power to make a difference are still people too and will hold their own nationalist loyalties while they maintain power. Ried, I think that before we rework this paragraph I need to know - are we speaking of individuals or of governments? That will help us make a very strong thesis statement. then every sentence after that will back up that thesis statement. I know, I know, you aren't finished yet :) That's okay. I just want you to get that strong thesis and then it will be so much easier to decide what will fit into this paragraph okay?

. I made some of the changes you suggested.
** Question 2: How do nationalist loyalties shape peoples choices? **

People enlist in war for their country: people support their home country, but what if those aren’t the same countries. What if the two countries you love engaged in war against each other and your family is still in your home country however you are living in another country. Which side would you choose? Choices are formulated through thought and consideration. Patriotism is from our sentiment. Loyalty is a behavior that comes from our patriotism. Both loyalty and patriotism affect our decisions. Choices, patriotism, and loyalty should be examined independently yet in conjunction with each other so that we may shape our nationalist loyalties. In conclusion, you have to make a choice from determining your favorite sports team to choosing a side in national conflict. Our previous and current allegiances whether it may be to a country, a family, or a religion will shape how loyal we are and able to uphold that loyalty to a nation.

Good, Ried. CF


 * Question 3: How can nationalist loyalties create conflict? **

Conflicts often arise from loyalties that are birthed in nationalism. These conflicts can take various routes from a simple disagreement to an all out physical battle. Loyalties are strong beliefs that will dictate where you stand in a particular conflict. Our peers influence these loyalties, which may include our parents, teachers, fellow students, co-workers, media, as well as neighbors. Once a loyalty is firmly established in our minds it becomes extremely difficult to change because of all the influences that have formulated that loyalty. Conflict will usually occur when the facts surrounding the subject are obscure or misunderstood. Ignoring the facts and simply choosing a preference loyalty may create conflict.

This is an example of the Canadian hockey team fighting, the fans are obviously cheering for their team causing tension between the Canadians and the Czech Republic. In an abstract way of looking at this situation, each person wants Country to win and therefore in an abstract way, there are nationalist loyalties here.

Ried, you're doing just fine!! Good for you.
