I'd think that one advantage of nationalism is the unity it builds among people who share the same nation, who start to think of each other as co-citizens.
One disadvantage of nationalism is the hate can be directed against outsiders.

Nationalism is a political, social, and economic ideology that is based on the promotion of the interests of a certain nation. Nationalism alleges that each nation should be able to govern itself and be free from any external interference from foreign powers.

An advantage of nationalism is that it aims to preserve a nation's culture and traditions. Things that many countries are losing nowadays as a product of globalization. It was also the driving force behind independentist movements in many regions throughout the world.

A disadvantage of Nationalism is that, combined with religious beliefs or ethnical backgrounds, may lead to prejudice towards other populations. This is particularly dangerous as it could be a leading cause of war.

Why did Thomas Hobbes believed that people needed an absolute ruler?

nika2105 [10]

Answer: Because human beings in their natural condition are trapped in competition and struggle with each other, they need a strong, absolute ruler in order to provide security and stability to society.

Details:

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called Leviathan in 1651. The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society. In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast). Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests. So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen. And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.

Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' Leviathan book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself. Hobbes wrote:

In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
