<p>^ Agreed. I am my race out of probability. It was predetermined by my parents and says nothing about my character.</p>
<p>Why does nationalism exist? Because people were born in certain areas.</p>
<p>I suggest all of you to watch this:</p>

<p>What? </p>
<p>People take pride in being some part of a “group.” It’s human nature to want to be to be together, it raises survival chances. Say thanks to evolution.</p>
<p>nationalism stems from social groups. Hence the popularity of gangs, nationalistic pride, and all the other branches of a group.</p>
<p>^ or hispanic. Nothing really. People just don’t. And people will continue not too.</p>
<p>Hi, my name is Chon Wang, and I’m an African-American</p>
<p>^ lol</p>
<p>Nationalism stems from birthplace. If I was born in America, I would most likely have nationalistic feelings for America. If I was born in the UK, I would most likely have nationalistic feelings for the UK. But where you’re born isn’t a choice, which is why nationalism is illogical. Yes, humans are by nature social animals, but I would be part of a society regardless of where I was born.</p>
<p>Racial pride is equally illogical. Why should I be prideful about something that I’ve had no say in?</p>
<p>
I’m glad you can coherently express this statement with the written word, using proper grammar and English skills.</p>
<p>Ummm… It doesn’t matter if where you live or what ethnicity you are happened by “chance.”</p>
<p>It’s called culture. And they’re all different. There’s nothing wrong with pride. Just don’t get conceited and supremacist-y.</p>
<p>Races don’t have cultures…</p>
<p>
</p>

<p>Being a certain color is not a culture.</p>
<p>I’m not talking about color. But your color is determined by your ethnicity.</p>
<p>Daxlo said ‘race’ and that’s what we were arguing about.</p>
<p>We have to embrace humanity; we have to focus on the things that makes us human. We have to stop the discrimination and hate. We have to break down the national borders and not label ourselves as any race other than human. We must be able to unite as a humanity, not as citizens of nations, but the citizens of Earth. We must not take unfair advantage of another human being, but raise them up. Divisions in a group causes friction and instability. Look at every case in history ranging from political issues to playground conflicts. We must learn to look past the labels and embrace humanity. </p>
<p>/idealism</p>
<p>No it’s not.</p>
<p>
I wholeheartedly agree. The time to unite is upon us; no past human generation since the first tribe split in two has had as much potential for unity as we do now. It is time to put aside past divisions, dissolve borders, bring equality among human beings, recognize hunger and poverty and war and hate as the enemies of Man, and work as a human race to reach out and touch the stars.</p>
<p>“Imagine there’s no countries…”</p>
<p>Sadly when this happens, we will know the end is near. This will never happen in our life time. But maybe in the generations, and generations after us.</p>
<p>By saying we cannot do it, by saying that it will not happen for generations, we make that true. But if we say that we can and must do it, if we say that while we still live, we will see this happen, then perhaps we can make it so.</p>

<p>Lawl, us HSLers can never stick to one topic, can we?</p>
<p>

<p>Why do you think we have the most potential now???</p>
