Modern World History: Nationalism-good or bad?

I think Nationalism is terrible! People need to look out for others who take pride in their country. They are people to fear. Loving your country is the ultimate vanity. Especially since you don't choose what country you were born in. I think it makes more since to love your hairstyle. At least you have some control over that. Am I right or wrong?

American History: Did we really need Progressivism?

Do you think we really needed people like Jane Addams, Jacob Riis, and Theodore Roosevelt to step in and change politics, society, economics and civil rights issues? Isn't it true that these people were just busy-bodies trying to meddle in the lives of other people? Who did they think they were? Some people want and like to be poor or poorly treated. These Progressives were just goody-two-shoes trying to get their names in the history books. Do you agree with me or not? Make sure you use facts to support your arguements.
