Nationalism is the idea in which believes the nation should\u00a0be in agreement\u00a0with the state.\u00a0With this ideology, its citizen\u00a0needs to behave a certain way, not only politically but also socially, in a way that it lines with the cultural norm of a particular geographical area.\u00a0 This also means that the people\u00a0have\u00a0the\u00a0love and goal of preserving that country\u2019s social aspects like tradition, culture, norm, and way of living, among many others, it is a country’s thought\u00a0and\u00a0point of view. The goal of nationalism is to unite people and establish state sovereignty. Meanwhile, according to the\u00a0KBBI, nationalism is derived from the words “national” and “ism,” and it is nationalism that embodies awareness and\u00a0the\u00a0spirit of love for one’s homeland.\u00a0Similar to\u00a0the love for queen and country\u00a0from the UK, the Indonesia equivalent of this is cinta tanah air<\/em>\u00a0or love for the homeland.<\/p>\n

The behavior in which the citizens of a nation acts reflect how great the spirit of nationalism is in a country. This can be seen by how the citizens act towards regulations, laws, and their reactions toward different social issues when they emerge in the country. It can also be seen by how the citizens\u00a0are willingly, or unwillingly following the laws that are set in by the country\u2019s government.\u00a0Nationalism also expects its citizen to be tolerant towards other people from different backgrounds, believes, culture, race, ethnicity, and many more. It means that the citizens are expected to be inclusive and accepting.\u00a0Lastly, citizens with huge emphasis in spreading their culture and norms may it be externally, like promotion through the various mediums in the world wide web, or internally, as to love and keep the culture and tradition alive among their own citizens, is also a way to measure the spirit of nationalism of a country\u2019s people.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, huge emphasis is placed on citizens to spread culture and norms through either external or internal mediums. The efforts are meant to grow the love and preservation of traditions among the people today and can be a measure of nationalism spirit.<\/p>\n

Seeing that, there\u2019s also more ways we can express\u00a0our nationalism spirit and love for Indonesia,\u00a0especially as\u00a0part of the\u00a0Generation Z\u00a0and Millennials. One, by\u00a0not only purchasing\u00a0but also using Indonesian made\u00a0products.\u00a0 Contribution\u00a0to the advancement of the country\u2019s name by engaging in beneficial activities; the example for this are focusing on one\u2019s academics, competing in extracurricular activities, following\u00a0the laws and rules in the area, be\u00a0in kind and respectful towards not only Indonesians, but also foreigner that might be interested in learning\u00a0this nation\u2019s cultures.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Millennials and\u00a0Generation Z, we frequently misunderstand ‘nationalism’ as a negative form of behavior because of the connotation that leads to fanaticism towards the country in the name of all state actions being positive. Thought like this encourage certain generations\u00a0to avoid nationalism.\u00a0Nationalism education programs in Indonesia should be\u00a0designed to meet the needs of today’s world. Nationalism in the context of\u00a0colonialism is no longer useful for\u00a0Millennials and Generation Z.\u00a0Nationalism is\u00a0similar to\u00a0teaching and demonstrating that their efforts are worthwhile\u00a0later on\u00a0for the development of Indonesia in the future to the interests of nationalism to these young generations.\u00a0In\u00a0short, nationalism must be accompanied by awareness\u00a0in\u00a0order for\u00a0us to continue to run and instill\u00a0in\u00a0the souls and minds\u00a0of\u00a0future generations\u00a0of Indonesian youth.<\/p>\n

What is the most significant type of nationalism? To run and continue in such a way that the connotation of fanaticism is not associated with nationalism. What fanaticism entails is an encouragement to blindly follow false doctrines and dogmas which stir both logic and emotion to damage others in fulfilling one\u2019s goals. A nationalist fanaticism disregards any consideration which does not align with the state\u2019s interests. This can be harmful because the state can\u2019t function as a socio-political actor of its own, it needs the help and support of outside mutuals<\/em>. If the fanatics stop that function to work peacefully, the state\u2019s progress will stagnate even though they may think they have done something good.<\/p>\n
