Question

Explain four reasons why countries strive hard to acquire the status of a nation state

Answer 1

Answer:

The role of the nation-state in globalization is a complex one in part due to the varying definitions and shifting concepts of globalization. While it has been defined in many ways, globalization is generally recognized as the fading or complete disappearance of economic, social, and cultural borders between nation-states

Answer 2

A nation state is a sovereign entity, the majority of whose citizens are often united by forces that identify a state like common descent or language

Explanation:

• The desire to live independently in accordance with one's national culture , language, religion and custom is one of the reason why ethnic nations struggle to gain the status of nation-states. So, instead of being only a minority in another country, they can maintain their heads high as equal in world sovereigns.
• One advantage is that National Unity would exist because the people are culturally and linguistically united, thereby eliminating all ethnic tensions that are often the result of civil conflicts and massacres. They strive to get to a nation state to avoid invading foreign nations that will overpower our present culture, which we value wholeheartedly and with all our strength.
• Their lack of authoritarian rule allowed society and economy to grow. This is possible because of  a form of economic prosperity that does not depend on land ownership, but on commercial , industrial and investment in capital. Each state has created a civil society that has implemented  a cultural identity called nationality because of the enormously increased economic added value of that prosperity. This nationality is the source of legitimacy in a nation state's political system.
