Is nationalism really right thing for our future? Nobody knows how nationalism is dangerous theory. I also believed that nationalism is required theory for my country and people until 5 years ago. However, it was biggest misunderstanding. I usually watched dramas and read historical books which are related to nationalism. They insisted that Korean is holiness people and foreign cultures and people are worst things for Korea. I was too young to understand which one is correct. I can’t understand until now why I accepted that silly theory easily at that time.
However, I noticed that nationalism is for only one group of people. It means that sacrifice of other people is none of business. I started to read history of world. Many theories existed in our history. Imperialism and German Supremacy were good example. When Imperialism existed, many strong countries invaded and made weak countries as colony. As a result, people of weak countries like Asia, Africa, and South America suffered great pain. German Supremacy was worse than Imperialism. It caused Jewish Holocaust and World War II. As a result, the tragedy which more than 50 million people of the world died. Communism is little bit different but they also killed many people by name of nationalism. North Korea always insists nationalism to their people. However, it is only tool which they keep their dictatorship. Also, many people and countries conflicts until now because they still believe nationalism.
We are living 21st Century. We have to live together. Conflicts and hatred between people are remains of past. Nationalism also has to become remains of past. We live in the same world. We have to know it.
