is there a need for logic in nation building?

Answer 1

Oh yes. Otherwise when the nation got put together, there would be no strength, and it would make no sense.

Every nation must know what it believes and stands for, in a United way. And have the same drives and goals in common.

A nation that does not know what it stands for, just may fall for anything.

A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand

The Declaration of Independence that established America as a country holds great logic.

But we have lost most of our logic, I'm afraid, as we are moving steadily away from the Declaration, and the Constitution, and all the things the Founding Father's originally based this country on.

Answer 2

There is a need for logic and principles in international affairs.
I have doubts about the whole notion of nation-building. It smacks of neo-colonialism to me. It basically means that westerners will come in and tell the poor local, who obviously can't get it together because they lack our deeper wisdom, just how it's done.
Turmoil in Africa and the Middle East today can in great part be traced back to the original wave of colonialism; dividing countries across lines that showed no respect for local customs and national identities, taking the lion's share of resources and keeping the infrastructure in the hands of the colonialists, etc...
I see the same problem with the notion of nation building - it seems to presuppose that an entity from without is going to organize the place in a way the locals couldn't possibly imagine themselves.
I have come to believe a nation that works is simply a nation whose citizens can function together as a society while resorting to violence as little as possible. Whether such a nation has free markets, democratic elections, a separation of Church and state, etc..., are really peripheral issues that should be left up to the locals - if the system works and there's no turmoil or violence, those become just words and the west doesn't need to play mentor to those countries.

Answer 3

as we learn from history no nation have been developed in logic .nations become nation through their day to day leaving habitual action.this habit bring them to grope,then to community ,country and nation.

Answer 4

First you would have to define who's logic you're referring to. Rhymin Paul Simon once said, "One man's ceiling is another man's floor." Kinda tells it all, in a round about way.

Answer 5

I've never known anything that could run alongside logic. Not on this planet!

Answer 6

Of course, silly

Answer 7

Not neccisarily. Religious things don't involve scinece, so maybe not. But it might...

Answer 8

i would say yes, but not necessarily all aspects of it.
