This is how my dictionary defines Nationalism.
Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation. The belief that nations will benefit from acting independently rather than collectively, emphasizing national rather than international goals. Aspirations for national independence in a country under foreign domination. love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it [syn: patriotism] 2: the conviction that the culture and interests of your nation are superior to those of any other nation
My version
Devotion to the interests or cultures of one’s nation. The belief that nations will benefit from keeping and getting there own house in order before they act independently or collectively, emphasizing national and then international goals. Aspirations for national independence in a country under foreign domination. Love of country and willingness to sacrifice for it [syn: patriotism] 2: the conviction that the culture and interests of your nation are always evolving, always a work in progress and of high National importance.
