Abstract

Nationalism is commonly interpreted as evidence of an "inferiority complex," a kind of adolescent attitude on the part of a nation to assert itself in lieu of holding rank as a world power. A more kindly concept of nationalism defines it as a "declaration of independence," an inherent desire of a people to stand in their own strength. Nearly always the existence of nationalistic attitudes implies a need for unity and a desire for common ideals and values, for one tradition. Nationalism may also mean that a country possesses pride and self-respect, that it is aware of its own ability and creative worth.
