I was doing some research for another class and I came across this article. The article was about a man from Hungary who became a famous photographer during Spain's Civil War. The pictures he took became pieces of valued art.
The article really has no relevance to what we as a class have talken about but I felt the pictures spoke for themselves. Here is a man so loyal to his beliefs and faith, he is willing to take a bullet for his country. My question I am posing to our class is, is this a battle for Patriotism or a battle of Nationalism?
I originally answered with Patriotism, because I associate people dying for their country and showing support for their nation as Patriotic. But then I started thinking how is it not nationalism. I'd be interested to hear in what you guys have to say.
Also please let me know if the pictures are not showing up. Because the pictures are the only uploads
P.S. The man in the bottom Picture with his arms out is the same man in the white shirt on the top picture.
ReplyDeleteThis photo was taken during the Spanish civil war? If so then it depends on how you want to define a nation. It is not a battle of nationalism if you consider the nation to be Spain, because in reality Spain was fighting its self. But if you define a nation as people of a like mindset, under the perrenialist ideology, then these men were dying for their nation and their beliefs.
