Nationalism

The definition of nationalism is extreme loyalty to a nation and concern for its welfare. I think i am nationalistic because i represent my country an what it stands for. i do this by going to the fourth of July every year. and my parents pay their taxes and help the country out with its money problems. so this is my opnion of waht being nationalistic means.
