5. Differentiate nationalism from patriotism. (10 pts)

When you look up the definition of nationalism, according to the Merriam Webster patriotism is
defined as “love for or devotion to one’s country” while the definition of nationalism is defined as
“loyalty and devotion to a nation.” But the definition of nationalism also includes “exalting one
nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests
as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups.” This exclusionary aspect is not
shared by patriotism. These two words are treated as synonyms but there is also a distinction to
the both of them.
