I am nationalistic by being a good citizen in society and by respecting the laws of this country and celebrating all of this country's holiday such as fourth of July , presidents day and etc. I usually tell may dad to take me to parades to celebrate America and i usually tell him that when ever we see in the news that there are people who needs clothes and food, we will go to the store buy some and give it to those people or give it to charity. Nationalism to me means that you need to serve your country and respect it and do no harm and take care of it and its people. Nationalism includes alot of things such as nationality, language, culture, history, religion, and territory.
