Can Nationalism Be Reconciled with Global Ethics?

[Nomad]

Nationalism builds cultural pride but is also leads to exclusionary politics. Some people argue that strong national identities are necessary for stability in the country, whereas others believe that global cooperation is more ethical. Is nationalism inherently divisive, or can it coexist with a global ethical framework? How do we balance national sovereignty with international responsibilities like climate change and human rights?

I think nationalism and global ethics can coexist, but it depends on how nationalism is defined. If nationalism is about cultural pride and self-determination, it can align with global ethics by promoting respect and cooperation between nations. However, if it turns into exclusionary or aggressive policies, it can conflict with universal moral principles like human rights and global responsibility.
