Definition of a Nation

[Anti-Fascist]

Kim Jong Il said, in the words of one North Korean, that
a culture needs to be viewed "by taking bloodline and language
as the common features." He said that what defines a nation
must include fellow countrymen "of the same bloodline".
Kim Jong Il's definition of a nation is based upon one's blood and
language.

I beileve that Kim Jong-il's definition of a nation is correct.

Thoughts?

Upon saying this you are more or less agreeing with Adolf Hitler, as he stated in his writings that a Nation is in essence comprised of people with a common bloodline and language. Hitler however took this definition to a new level by adding common religious beliefs as well, which is what resultingly lead to religious persecution of the Jews.

However this is not saying that Kim Jong Il was neccessarily wrong, as his points make sense. Though I cannot totally agree with it.

I feel a nation is comprised of those who choose to become a part of it as a result of a cultural preference, or even a form of government that they prefer. Language is obviously a common trait amongst nations...the English speak English, the Germans speak German, etc. this is however not true for every country. Canada for instance recongizes two national languages... French and English... but in regards to a common blood I would have to disagree entirely, as the majority of nations have a veriety of different ethnic groups. E.G. USA...... but back to the original question, I feel nations are mainly comprised of those who wish to become a part of their particular culture, government, or whatever the reason be.
