Q & A
What is the main focus of Unit 1 of Social 2091?
-Unit 1 of Social 2091 focuses on national identity, including concepts such as national interest, nationalism, and the distinction between nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties.
How does nationalism differ from non-nationalist loyalties according to the script?
-Nationalism is the feeling one has towards a group they belong to, and it can fundamentally change who you are as a person if you were to change your ethnicity.

Transcripts
I'm not going to be able to do that in
10 SEC or 10 minutes but it is the most
kind of comprehensive case study
breakdown big topics you need to know so
unit one4 of social 2091 dealt with
national identity uh we started talking
about what national interest is what
nationalism is nationalism being the
feeling you have towards a group you
belong to there are
nationalisms uh ones that are very
important and non-nationalist loyalties
so nationalist loyalty being things that
would fundamentally change you if you
were different so if you woke up and you
were a different ethnicity that would
fundamentally change who you are as a
person a non-nationalist interest would
be anything where it would suck to lose
but it's not going to fundamentally
change who you are if all of a sudden
you wake up one day and you're like I
hate Toronto Maple Leaves yes that is an
adjustment but you're going to move on
uh but where the problem comes is when
those Nationalist and non-nationalist
loyalties end up contending with one
another so um the contending loyalties
those are two things that compete so for
instance um
your uh your identity your your sexual
identity vers your religious identity
those two things might come into
competition with one another and that's
when you need to balance your loyalties
how do you decide on which one is more
important um when it came to that we had
um our first kind of case study which
was the French Revolution we had a lot
of people who were monarchists people
who believed that the monarchy was a
sign from God that people were chosen to
be kings and queens an absolute monarch
they got to decide that it was uh what
was best for their people but that led
towards a feudalist system where you had
peasants that were born and died in the
position they were given so for years
and years and years this goes on and
then we have King Louis the 16th who
just fumbles with the monarchy terribly
he starts overspending he starts
actually contributing to the American
Revolution which is only fueling the
fire of his own people in his own
country um and you have this very bad
social structure that has been developed
over the years uh the French Revolution
doesn't come out of nowhere as we've
been saying in Social 20 crazy doesn't
just happen it there's background to it
so when you have your three Estates
First Estate being the king and clergy
second Estates being the nobility and
the aristocat and the third being the
bourjois city workers and peasants
94 to 96% of the entire population rests
in those two Estates in the bottom two
so when everyone is poor everyone is
hungry and they all want to change this
is when we get that spark that lights
the revolution um when King Louis the
16th then goes to the second estate
which is again a very small population
and says hey I'm going to actually need
to start taxing you guys because I
fumbled my money up uh they say uh-uh
and they go to um they create the
National Assembly where it's the second
estate and the Third Estate come
together and they come up with a new
plan Louie thinking he can avoid this
just locks them out of the room where
they make decisions turns out that they
go to a tennis court they make their own
decision which is called do Rong which
is Declaration of the rights of man they
sign that basically creating what is
known as a republic a a ability to
democratically choose what's going to
happen to your country um then 1789 July
14th there's the storming the best deal
that is the first physical act of the
French Revolution uh and it was more of
a symbolic act because no one was
actually there but it was an actual
physical attack on something that was
controlled and maintained by the
monarchy so after this happens um we
start seeing that contending loyalties
and nationalism can actually create a
collective Consciousness an idea that
people even though they're not in
individually communicating with one
another they know and they get the
feeling behind their nation that can
drive it forward so um the Indian Act is
one of the Canadian versions of this the
Indian Act um even though the Canadian
government didn't go to every single
indigenous person and say this is what
you're going to do it did was a
collective Consciousness and it is an
idea that the the indigenous population
in Canada still resent to this day it
still statuses their Nation it still has
all these things that create a lot of
contending loyalties because how can you
be Canadian but also indigenous if you
are
labeled um we also have Quebec
sovereignty we talked a little bit about
that the idea of the referendum where uh
the frankophones were so um under the
belief that they were being kind of iced
out of this Canadian uh individual
nationalism that they had a referendum
and very closely almost passed that
referendum but we did have the flq which
was the extremist version version of
that nation that took over and kidnapped
a senator and somebody died and there
was explosions you also had the quiet
Revolution with the um Frank ofil
language rights and things like that we
also have Equalization in here this is
the idea of national identity that if um
the richest Province help out every
Province so this is this idea that
Canada as a nation should unilaterally
help one another out and then we have
the um assembly of First Nations which
is later developed was the idea and kind
of response to the Indian Act where
instead of having white government
officials make decisions on how the
indigenous people are running their
lives perhaps we should have an assembly
of the fnmi community creating those
decisions so that's when we got into our
national identity next we went into
Ultra nationalism and the idea of
extremism and nationalism there's a lot
of content in this one so I'm going to
kind of skim it as much um World War I
we started with Maine remember
militarism we had an increase in in um
technology tanks uh the development of
the machine gun uh planes things like
that we also had a weird collection of
alliances that were getting created at
this point in time and we also had a
disdain for imperialism people at by the
time it came to 1914 people were sick of
another Nation being in charge of them
if my national identity is Bosnian I
don't want an Austrian Hungarian person
telling me how to live my life so that's
the dis for imperialism and the rise of
nationalism those bosnians those serbs
those everyone started being like get
out of my country you don't know our
nationalist loyalties you don't know our
non-nationalist loyalties why are you
telling us what to do so 1914 we had a
guy named grao priny that ended up uh
with his terrorist organization shooting
the austri Hungary Arch Duke uh France
Ferdinand kind of kickstarting World War
I but it would have happened before at
anyways it was just the spark that Lit
it um
we had the unun versus the Triple
Alliance uh the unun
being the good guys only because they
were the victors uh Britain France and
Russia the alliance being austrial
Hungary Italy and Germany uh they
competing against each other uh battle
battle battle four years basically we
get to a stalemate no one is making any
movement forward trench warfare has
basically destroyed all of Eastern
Europe it is a big disaster um it ends
and it ends with the Treaty of Versa
signed in 1914 the Treaty of Versa has
the war guilt clause in it that
basically says Germany is to blame for
everything well they need to pay $33
billion in reparation payments they need
to get rid of all of their colonies they
need to get rid of the sudet land and
the Rin land which is where a majority
of their industry lies so they can't
even get money to pay back the
reparation
payments um obviously and as we said in
class it's kind of like an abusive
relationship if you slap someone so many
times they have two options they either
give up or they slap back which leads us
to World War II and the rise of a little
dude named Hitler who comes up and says
hey I can fix your problems he has an
alter nationalist view he believes that
Germany was absolutely um screwed over
by the Treaty of versailes that the
Treaty of versailes was um a a thing
basically to take down the power of the
Aryan race and the dramatic people and
take away leenom which is living space
um all of these things lead to Hitler
1933 Hitler actually gets democratically
elected then he starts doing his little
sketchy moves right starts um having
people dressed up as uh the wear
Republic officials uh beating up the
Nazi party um he starts spreading rumors
about Hindenberg and how Hindenberg is
an ineffectual governor and blah blah
blah blah blah he starts all these
things starts with the indoctrination um
and people start to see that he is on
the path to bad 1935 the nurburg laws
are signed which basically is the actual
government official regulation of the
Jewish Community within Germany um and
then in around that time you had the
fire of the r tag which is where
Hindenberg officially basically signs
over all the rights to Germany and
creates a authoritarian government under
Hitler's name uh
the rest of the world really isn't ready
for another War we had the Great
Depression we had a lot of issues we had
the Dust Bowl in Canada you don't see it
now but you have the Dust Bowl in Canada
um all of these things where we weren't
in a financial place to start another
War so we do a tactic called appeasement
where we're basically like no no Hitler
please don't enter into any more areas
and he's like I promise I won't and then
he enters into what country starting
World War
I Poland September 1st
1939 he enters into Poland from 1939 to
1935 there or 45 there is many instances
of straight up ultr nationalist
genocides that happened uh the Holocaust
is obviously one that we've covered uh
in extent uh Hollow deore Stalin
focusing on the koks of Ukraine uh we
had well I guess there was another alter
nationalism in World War I when we had
uh The Armenian Genocide all of these
things led to this kind of ultr
nationalistic explosion we also had
interment within Canada Canada's hands
are not clean in uh World War II we
intered the Japanese people which is a
form of alternis it's the idea well not
as intense we're not genociding them but
uh we had ethnocentrism for sure we
intered the Japanese in World War II
saying they were enemy aliens we did the
ukrainians and the Germans in World War
I because we said they were enemy aliens
this idea that your nation is more
important than another is the main focus
of unit two then we got to unit three
where we focused on the isms
um this is internationalism which is a
bunch of countries working together
unilateralism which is a country working
alone isolationism which is a country
that avoids other countries bilateralism
two countries working together
multilateralism which is many countries
working together supernational ISM which
is an organization that
represents a bunch of countries the UN
EU uh NATO NORAD all those countries
where you have an organization with a
title that has
directive
um then we have the creation of the IC
which is directly after World War II uh
the ICC being the international criminal
courts uh that's where we started doing
the nerber trials where we started
punishing people for doing crimes
against humanity and for having
eurocentric or sorry ethnocentric and
Ultra nationalistic
views and uh we talked a little bit
about how internationalism because all
the countries are now globalized and
working together we have the world Debt
Clock there is a connection between that
and is that a good or bad thing and if
it's a bad thing it's called Odus debt
which means that if you are in debt to
someone you owe them something
meaning they could use it against you or
on the other hand it could keep you safe
so this last little bit was kind of a
throwback to globalization but at the
same time a connection to
nationalism and I'm
done thank
