One of the most influential doctrines in history is that all humans are divided into groups called nations.[citation needed] It is an ethical and philosophical doctrine in itself, and is the starting point for the ideology of nationalism. Members of a "nation" share a common identity, and usually a common origin, in the sense of ancestry, parentage or descent. A nation extends across generations, and includes the dead as full members. Past events are framed in this context; for example; by referring to "our soldiers" in conflicts which took place hundreds of years ago. More vaguely, nations are assumed to include future generations.

natural illusion that there are man made bounderies which seems to be more safe for a bunch of people of foreign origin and equally unsafe for the people of origin.
