Nationalism Vs. Sectionalism

There are some big differences when it comes to nationalism and sectionalism. Nationalism, by definition, is a devotation to the interests and culture of one's nation. We're talking about the whole nation on what is needed or wanted to be called its own nation. They can tell you the laws and even the freedom of one person. Taking care of a whole nation can be a hassle at times because the nation can be big. The biggest person in office that takes most care of this is the congress and the president. If alone nations were very simular, then it would be best if there were just one big nation. Great power comes great responsibility.

Then there is sectionalism. Sectionalism, be definition, is the placing of the interestss of one's own region ahead of the interests of the nation as a whole. Now this means it is a smaller area than nationalism. One reason is that multiple sections can team up to make a better nationalism. People in office that controlls this includes the mayor. There is also governor which covers bigger areas of that section. I'm glad we have these. Without them, everything would be in chaos.
