My research was conducted to see how people receive the way Nationalism that is on the rise from movements like "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) "America First" which have been started by President Trump and his platform to put America First on the world stage. My group and I conducted a survey to see the opinion of how people think about these movements. Many of people we surveyed were young first or second generation immigrants and have somewhat mixed feelings about patriotism and nationalism where people see one thing being nationalistic and another to be patriotic.
The survey did prove my hypothesis, I hypothesized that people, especially here in the Bay Area, would see nationalism as a bad thing. In one our graphs we can see that a high number of people did say that nationalism is a threat to society, which I believe is somewhat understandable, in my survey I broke down the history of where nationalism comes from. Leaders like Bonaparte to Hitler could be labeled as nationalistic. I also came to the conclusion that the only reason that people see the MAGA movement as a negative thing and somewhat threatening is because people, especially here in the Bay Area, did not vote for Trump and voted for Clinton, so they have a personal bias on what Trump does, if people were to remove the politics from the MAGA movement I believe they would have answered differently to our questions.
