Every nation has their way to behave, and we know the most of those sometimes iconic ways to react in the social situation. And sometimes we might think, "why some Italian, Finnish or Irish behave like that?". We see the "national way of behavior" in the traffic lights every day, and we might sometimes think, why some nation behaves a little bit different way that we behave, and what is the origin of that behave, where person scream and yell together in the traffic light.
But when we are thinking about the origin of those things the reason for that might be the thing, what is called "social enriching". The reason for social enriching is, of course, similar to genetic enriching and it's similar to the thing, what is similar in normal working life. We, humans, are individuals, who want to be with similar persons as we are, and this is the reason why ancient people made groups and tribes, and in fact, the nations and states are supertribes.
Nationalism is one way to behave in the groups, and there are many traditions in the nation for making people like together. Our parties and traditions are part of our national identity. National identity has roots in the tribes and village communities. Thinking about our natural personality, and the need to be with similar persons as we are in the same times good and bad thing. Good is that if we like to be together everything is easy, but if we are thinking this thing in the point of view of the working life, we might need to think opposite way than our nature says.
The nationalism is not always a problem, but the militarization is, and the last thing is almost every time connected with nationalistic thoughts. And in the eyes of many people, the most visible thing in nationalism are the lines of the tanks and military persons. The censorship and another kind of political way to make the work of the opposition difficult is always connected with nationalism.
And that might be a very bad mistake because everybody needs sometimes advisors. Sometimes we are all making mistakes and this is the reason, why the governments and high-councils of the big firms are manned with professionals, who have very big salaries because the decisions need very strong professionals and knowledge for supporting them. They need professionals, who know the law and of course, the technology is very important to handle, if there is a technical product for marketing. Or if the product is the service-oriented application, must those persons handle the technologies and other vital skills for making that service comfortable.
In real life, there is no perfect person exists, and that means there must find the people, who say something against us. We cannot be objective every time when we are making decisions. When people are thinking, that some decision is best, there might be found many errors. And this is why there is opposition in politics. Political leaders need to see also the opposite opinions, that they can see every part of some law. Those things are always very influential, and that's why there must always make good analyses when political leaders are making their decisions. This is, why politicians need opponents for talking about the legislation because if the law has many holes, there would be more problems than benefits about new orders, what gives rules for the all nation.
