737 Words3 Pages

A nation lets one feel a strong sense of belonging in which they can truly express their existence. The pride that citizens have for their country is what gives them the strength to pursue their or their leaders’ desires. Another effect of nationalism is where society is brainwashed into doing what is wrong, such as a massacre to an innocent nation group. Due to this effect the society members cannot be blamed for an act considering they are only obeying their leader. They also cannot be blamed because they have a loyalty towards to their country and a duty in which they have to save their country from any sort of threats. The people who have formed their national identity in the movie are seen to be influenced to do as they are ordered by people who are in power. This is due to an individual’s obedience to authority, loyalty to their nation and because of their national identity.
When one is satisfied with their nations, whether it is chosen by a …show more content…

At the beginning of the movie when they had to choose which faction they choose, Tris had always admired the Dauntless, hence, she chose that faction. In time when everything began to unfold to her, where she would feel like she doesn’t belong, she was sure that that was not her national identity.

  • Essay On Ultranationalism

    748 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nationalism is the pride for one’s country, the love that one has for its country and it is the want for the good of all people in the nation. This love is not conditional, it does not depend on race religion or economic standing. When a leader is chosen, when a country is coming out of great national change, this requires a particularly strong leader who only wishes for their countries greatness and success in the future. However, this can quickly turn into ultranationalism, or expose ultranationalistic motives. The two concepts of one’s love for their country have similarities, one is formed from the other, or that each can be provokers of change in either direction in the political spectrum.

    National identity, that sense of cohesion on a national scale as a unified whole, given to its people through culture, language, tradition; and of course varying depending on the different echelons of society within a nation. In the case of India these boundaries are set rather firmly in light of the social stratification known as the caste system. Caste in its simplest form being a system of social ranking that is determined by one’s birth. In the film Bandit Queen this is called into question, and if one were to critique the film in relation to this pieces outline, it would seem that rather than giving one a sense of any one dominant construction of national identity it opposingly, due to this form of social structure, gives the viewer a sense the countries lack of an explicit one.
