You believe that a society will thrive when it is composed of a single ethnic group, promoting unity, cultural preservation, and a strong national identity.
Ethnonationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes the shared characteristics of a particular ethnic group, such as language, culture, religion, and race, as the basis for national identity and unity. It is a form of nationalism wherein the nation is defined in terms of ethnicity, with the fundamental aim of promoting the interests and culture of a particular ethnic group, often at the expense of other ethnic or cultural groups.
The roots of ethnonationalism can be traced back to the 19th century, during the period of national awakening in Europe. This was a time when many natio…

How does learning about different historical perspectives enrich your understanding of current events?
@9KTY6Z92mos2MO
I think that learning about different historical perspectives enriches your understanding of current events is affected
@9KTXQ8B2mos2MO
It is always important to keep historical context when discussing anything going on. It's never safe or smart to decide everything based on the now.
@9KTXMK22mos2MO
Ethnonationalism, a complex phenomenon, intertwines ethnicity, nationalism, and identity. Understanding it requires examining historical perspectives, which can significantly enrich our comprehension of current events.
@9KTXSHC2mos2MO
Learning about historical perspectives can give you insight into why some regions, countries, or religions have something against a particular topic because of what happened to their ancestors. It can also help you understand the reoccurring problems in our world and how they keep circling back to us.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you approach introducing an important aspect of your culture to someone entirely unfamiliar with it?
@9KM24H92mos2MO
In the contemporary world, ethnonationalism continues to influence global politics. It has been a factor in various separatist movements, such as those in Catalonia in Spain and Kurdistan in the Middle East. It has also been associated with the rise of right-wing populist movements in Europe and America, which often emphasize the protection of a perceived native culture against perceived threats from immigration and globalization.
@9KM3TYV2mos2MO
If they asked, were spreading misinformation, came up in a conversation , or were in general not aware of what certain things mean or how they are pronounced.
@9KLZ6ZB2mos2MO
I would first at least try to do a basic introduction to my culture and explain from there onward.
@9KM2JN7 2mos2MO
Culturally I've never been taught much about my ethnicity, so I had to educate myself. However, I've taught plenty of my friends things about my culture, but only because they were open to learning. So if a person is wanting to learn about my culture, I'd be more than happy to teach them.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Have you felt a sense of personal growth from interacting with individuals of different cultures, and can you explain how?
@9KS27SV2mos2MO
I have grown closer to some of my cultures and I have grown as a person
@9KRZZZB2mos2MO
yes, because I get to learn about different cultures and it gives me more respect for those that live different then me
@9KRZYG9Republican2mos2MO
Yes I have felt like I have grown on it but I fell like it wasn't a lot but I think that it has been helpful.
@9KS2KS22mos2MO
I have not had any personal growth. I was always around people of other cultures and ethnicities, so it doesn't really affect me.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
When have you had to stand up for your cultural identity, and what did that teach you about yourself?
@9KK7R5ZRepublican3mos3MO
I have never had to stand up for my cultural identity.
@9KK73TY3mos3MO
I have had to stand up when people call me cracker thats about it
@9KK6JZDPeace and Freedom3mos3MO

How can individuals contribute to an inclusive society while celebrating their unique ethnic identities?
@9KTYDXL2mos2MO
I think by having all these inclusive months we learn more about others cultures. America is a very diverse country, but there are also a lot of close minded people. People should learn more about other cultures, and learn to be more open minded.
@9KXX7SB2mos2MO
America is not closed minded, and assimilation and adoption of U.S. values should be the outcome and aim of immigrants.
I think the biggest driver of bigotry is separation from other cultures, identities, and ethnic groups. The more openly people celebrate the cultures of their own and others, the more exposure people can have to these different walks of life.
By just being more inclusive in general in our day to day life.

Correcting kids when they are young if they saying something wrong
@9KTYTMM2mos2MO
They can celebrate and respect eachother's culture and differences.

How has living in a diverse community shaped your perspective on the world?
@9HZKD7L4mos4MO
Makes it better, as there is not one perfect perspective in the world.
@9HZM8GC4mos4MO
There is not one perfect perspective, but I do not find it helpful in accomplishing goals, and I do not think the community is living up to what they claim is the definition of diversity well.
@9HZKG5N4mos4MO
Allowing me not to think as ethnicity as a defining aspect of my life and community.
@9J526ZX4mos4MO
Exposure to other ethnicities and cultures has only shown me that it IS a defining aspect of life. Backgrounds directly impact and shape the perspective of the individual, and ethnicity is an aspect of background. However, it has also shown me that it is not the be all end all of a person.
@9J2C62W4mos4MO
It's easier to accept and be accepted by different kinds of people.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How have discussions about identity and heritage with friends changed your perspective?
@9KTYQ452mos2MO
I believe that you should identify more of the country you were born in than your ancestors. I am an American first.
I think that communicating with other people of your ethnic group and celebrating and practicing your culture is extremely important, but I think that everyone needs to know that the groups they identify with aren't above any other group.
@9KTYNVGPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
It made me realize that many people in the country have different heritages.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How has your understanding of your own cultural background impacted the way you interact with the environment around you?
@9KT7MJTPeace and Freedom2mos2MO
My understanding of my cultural background impacted the way I interact with the environment around me because it has taught me various ways that I can act in the outside world.
@9KNVL9R2mos2MO
I always remember where my parents came from and my culture is very important to me and learning more about my culture helps me teach others of my culture.
@9KNRJDQ2mos2MO
It has taught me code switching and various ways to change the way I act around other people
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Do you believe that learning about other cultures has changed the way you view your community or society?
@9HLZKDD5mos5MO
Having spent time living overseas in different, I have had the opportunity to experience new cultures in a way most US citizens will never get the chance to. This has changed the way I view my community and society and has led to my views becoming more liberal in general. I believe that all members of our society should have the chance to live and experience the cultures of different countries.
@9HLZJJG5mos5MO
That entirely depends on the person but most likely yes because persperpective ir very important.
@9HLZKQQ5mos5MO
Yes it did I get to learn a lot about other people
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Have you ever felt more connected to people who share your cultural background, and if so, why did it matter to you?
@9HPJS7C5mos5MO
I feel that people who share a cultural background with you, you tend to relate to them more because of the same kind of mindset their family has and maybe your own because of your background and family history.
@9HPHDN85mos5MO
I did because I felt I belonged but I have also had strong connections with others that don’t share the same background as me.
@9HPJPVSConstitution5mos5MO
Yes, I did feel more connected because I could relate to them a lot more than others.
