How have people reconciled Nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties

Nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties can be a burden choice for people to make occasionally. As people are all different, so are the ways people deal with their contending loyalties. Some general ways to reconcile  these loyalties are:

• just to accept that your loyalties are going to be contending
• Physically make a decision on which is more important\
• CHANGE or bring change to your nation

ACCEPT
The easiest way can sometimes be the hardest. Accepting to be not be involved can can one way people reconcile these nationalist and non nationalist  loyalties. These people just really gave up and don't really have that much say or if they have an opinion they don't express their concern in a verbal way. Basically they accept that there loyalties will be contending and they have decided that there is no other way rather than to live with, or fight it. Mentally and physically just accepting that you have loyalties that contend seems like an easy way out, but sometimes just accepting and forgetting can be the hardest thing to do.

DECISION TIME!
Others tend to make a decision on which is more important. This method of reconciliation can potentially lead to people loosing apart of their identity, and a feeling of alienation. Alienation is the feeling of being left out or being on the outside. For example, In china the government had outlawed religious and spiritual practices. Some people in china decided to follow this law and stopped practicing there religion and cultural practices.and others disobeyed this law and practiced there religion in secret because they wanted that to be apart of their lives.Another example is, Michalee Jean is a francophone form Quebec and she also is Canada's Governor general.And when she was asked to become Governor general she gave up her french citizenship for her Canadian citizenship so no one she would be more loyal to Canada.

CHANGE

The last thing that you can do is accept your contending loyalties and try to make change in the way your nation sees those loyalties. Take for example Baltej Singh Dhillon. Mr. Dhillon challenged the traditional RCMP dress code that has the traditional RCMP hat. He decided that he would not take off his turban for the hat so he looked at his options and got an reasonable accommodation. a reasonable accommodation is a legal and constitutional concept that requires Canadian public  institutions to adopt to the religious and cultural practices of minorities , as long as these practices do not violate constitutional rights and freedoms.

• Sense of belonging:

segregation is the forced separation of racial groups. in 1975 there 8 black teenagers that became the first group of blacks to attend a all white school. The white students were all angered by this movement and taunted the blacks. they were treated very poorly, spat on and abused but a black student named Brown Trickey, did not act violently and slowly she acted strongly. though she was expelled she did go on and complete her bachelor of arts, got married moved to Canada continued her education and fought for a variety of causes.


Diversity and multiculturalism



• religious freedoms

The Canadian charter of rights and freedom gives each and every individual in Canada freedoms of religious rights. though it it stated sometimes civics do not get this right which they deserve. In 2003, in Alberta it is mandatory for you to have your photo taken for your drivers licence. but some people believe that in the bible it prohibits them from having their photo taken. Now if they took their photo then they would go against their religious beliefs, but on the other hand they would not be able to drive. So these individuals challenged the Alberta law and took it to court arguing that taking there picture would violate their religious freedoms. The court agreed and there picture was not taken for their driver licence.
