Nationalism is love of one's own native or adopted country.
Since so many of US citizens are immigrants or from immigrant stock, it is important for the US to foster a sense of nationalism for the country to pull together as a cohesive whole. That's why they make us pledge alliance to the flag at school and athletic events and sing the national anthem.

Nationalism is the practice of working for the benifit of the country. In Nationalism, one would dedicate his efforts and place the nation over family, friends, religeon, and self being. The Nazis practiced nationalism. Communism on the other hand, is where all people in the country share the same amount of wealth and are designated to occupations and goals by the country.

"Nationalism is an ideology that says that every ethnic group of humans should be free to rule itself. Nationalists think that the best way to make this happen is for every ethnic group to have its own nation or society that they can rule without being controlled or oppressed by anybody else. Many nationalists think that nationalism is the best way to save small and not powerful groups, which are threatened by the mixing of ethnic groups. Nationalists think that the world is better with lots of cultural diversity. They also think that diversity is threatened by worldwide influences and mixing."

The idea of putting ones nation about everything and everyone else.
"Nationalism, in its broadest sense, is a devotion to one's own nation and its interests over those of all other nations. The term can also refer to a doctrine or political movement that holds that a nation—usually defined in terms of ethnicity or culture—has the right to constitute an independent or autonomous political community based on a shared history and common destiny."

It is basically the negative connotation of patriotism. In other words, it is being patriotic about your country to a fault.
