Topic > To what extent should we accept the views given in this…

Nationalism, genocide and internationalism are just some of the powerful words that are shown in the source. In World War I the lack of international law is said to be the reason for all the atrocities committed during the war and also the reason why the war started in the first place. With this we must therefore assume that internationalism would have helped prevent the war. But this being the case, why did the Second World War break out? For the fact that even with international law and communication we will always have people who refuse to consider themselves equal to other nations; these are the ultranationalists. Using the source as a guide to opinions on nationalism, we must automatically assume that if you are a nationalist (anyone who shows pride in their nation) you are a supporter of genocide and war. When we look back in history it is easy to find places where “internationalism means believing in peace…” But it is difficult or rather impossible to find times where “nationalists… cause world wars and [are] supporters of genocide”, which is why we do not I am. Nationalists are purely people who honor their nation; it is the ultranationalists who give rise to wars and who initiate genocides. It is by using this information that we can gather that the source has a rather biased origin in assuming that nationalists start wars. In most cases nationalists are forced into wars by ultranationalists. This is why we should accept this source's point of view only within certain parameters, because although internationalism supports and stimulates peace and cooperation, nationalists do not start wars. Ultranationalists start wars and support genocides. Ultranationalists are often frantically loyal to their…half of paper…other cultures and religions and are more than willing to always help those who are willing to try their culture. Nationalists do not cause wars or genocides. Nationalism is a generic term, so it has many different aspects. Purely nationalists are people who support and honor their nation; wars don't start. Internationalists often make sure it is the focus of national attention to support other nations: this is how they support peace and cooperation between nations. It makes them prosperous. Ultranationalists are often frantically loyal to other nations and hostile to others. This creates fertile ground for racism and superiority over other nations: it is the ultranationalists who start wars and genocides. The source tries to explain how ultranationalists start wars but mistakes them for nationalists, which is why he can only partially accept the source's claim.
