Ellis's concept of “irrational belief” (<span>Maladaptive thinking)</span> suggests that people's generalized "shoulds" and "musts" create their emotional and behavioral dysfunctions.
A famous example is given of the scenario when someone sets a goal of his/her happiness that they are loved by each and everyone around them, this is irrational belief which is actually impossible and moreover this hands over the option of happiness to other people than the person himself. <span />
This number would greatly increase, as there are many nations that don't have their own their own country. Some are part of a bigger country (the Tamils in India) and some are distributed among many countries (the Kurds)
Recognizing all those nations could increase some conflicts, such as that between the Kurds and Turkish in Turkey.
I think that a good definition should acknowledge that some nations have independent states and some are part of another state - the defining characteristics should be a sense of unity among the nation.
