Defining the concept of “nation” 2 Discuss the problems with those definitions of

“nation” (from question 1) and provide examples that prove each of

those definitions are faulty

a Many times, a people group will live on both sides of an

international border They may consider themselves members of the same nation

though they live in separate geopolitical locations Examples would include

present day Mexicans/Americans Some live on the Mexican side and have Mexican

citizenship while their family members may live on the American side and have

American citizenship They consider themselves one nation but technically they

are not Another example would be that of ethnic minorities in many countries

around the world The Kurds in Iraq were nearly exterminated though they were

of Iraqi nationality

The Mung tribal people of Burma are being hunted down and

killed by the Burmese government even though they have lived in Burma for

centuries and possibly millennia
