The Danger of The Rise of Nationalism
Jami McElrea
I chose the Dangers of the Rise of Nationalism as a topic because I wished to gain more understanding on a relevant issue that is affecting the world while also explore possible solutions. Ethnic nationalism is a growing force that draws from any and all differences in culture, religion and race to set citizens of a nation apart. In developed countries worldwide, uneven social and economic situations such as the increasing divide between classes and the loss of job opportunity has lead to an increased distrust in government institutions This has created the perfect climate for populous alt-right leaders to rise, while often encouraging the blame an external enemy( a scapegoat) for all social/economic issues.
