Some argue that patriotism is the primary cause of wars globally. Others feel that it serves to prevent less ethical politicians from running a country and starting wars. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Before the advent of globalization,
patriotism
had been regarded as a supreme virtue of a nation. Use synonyms
However
, as humanity is evolving into a single united world and borders are erased, nationalism is becoming not just obsolete but Linking Words
also
, in my opinion, an idea that drives countries against one another. Still, in spite of the tragic past and current wars, there are advocates of Linking Words
patriotism
who feel that it actually avoids them.
Patriots claim that nationalism prevents less ethical politicians, inclined to start conflicts, from running a country. Use synonyms
For example
, they could say that globalists in charge of a country could trigger a dispute with other chiefs of state in order to enrich by the profits of military actions. Linking Words
Furthermore
, supporters of nationalism believe that patriots would put the country's interests before theirs, and Linking Words
consequently
would be more inclined towards warfare. In reality, Linking Words
this
claim has no logic because it presumes that globalists are less ethical and because it ignores the fact that humanists are against dividing people.
Linking Words
On the other hand
, it is often said that Linking Words
patriotism
is the main reason behind wars. Use synonyms
Accordingly
, humanists believe that nationalistic ideals are nowadays a fallacy used by truly less ethical leaders simply to gain more power. Linking Words
That is
the case of supremacists who pretend to be patriots but are actually racists imposing their own values over anyone else. Linking Words
Therefore
, if there were no beliefs of a nation or race supremacy, a peaceful world would not be a utopia.
To conclude, in my opinion, Linking Words
patriotism
is indeed the main cause of current international conflicts. Use synonyms
Although
it was important in the past to preserve citizens from landless barbarians, it has now become barbaric in the context of a globalized world. I can really envision all the people living life in peace if Linking Words
patriotism
evolves into humanism.Use synonyms
