U1L4 Reconciling Nationalist and Non-Nationalist Loyalties
Introduction
Reconciling Nationalist and Non-Nationalist Loyalties
Key Issue
To what extent should people reconcile their contending nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties?
Everyone's identity includes individual and collective loyalties. Some of your collective loyalties may be nationalist, and some may be non-nationalist loyalties that are not embedded in the idea of nation. Loyalty to your family is an example of a non-nationalist loyalty. Just as differing nationalist loyalties can compete, so can nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties. This conflict can occur when nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties lead people toward different goals.
We all have loyalties, and sometimes those loyalties overlap or conflict.
