How have people reconciled contending nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties?

Sports Teams

All the different sports teams represent a different contending non-nationalist loyalty. They are all competing against one another in a competition. All trying to be better than the other one. During a game or a sports competition they are all trying to win, but after the competition there is reconciliation and the people decide to co-exist in peace.

Voting 

This picture is a great example of how people reconcile contending nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties. Sometimes people may experience times when their nationalist loyalties come in conflict with non-nationalist loyalties because they both have different goals. This can sometimes result in alienation, so the people would have to pick one loyalty over another, or maybe even living/seeing their contending loyalty everyday can reconcile contending nationalist and non-nationalist loyalties.

Multiculturalism

In the above picture it shows stick people, all different colors, but all together on one canvas. The caption at the bottom of the picture reads "We could all learn a lesson from crayons: they are all different colors but manage to live in the same box." This means that even though everyone is different, they look beyond that, beyond all their differences and co-exist with eachother in peace.

Religious and Nationalist Loyalty 

Because of globalization and worldwide migration, our school includes many different religious beliefs. Canada is a civic nation, so people here have the freedom of religion guaranteed in the charter of rights. People that have a lot of different religious loyalties respect one another's beliefs and will coexist in peace. But it isn't always like this, some places around the world still come in conflict with religious and nationalist loyalties, but we're the lucky ones. People in Canada are respected and excepted for their religious beliefs.

Canada

 

Canada is a great example on the topic of reconciliation of contending nationalist loyalties. Just recently, the Canadian government released something called "The Statement of Reconciliation" which was basically an apology to the First Nations people of Canada. It apologized for all the wrong doings that had been done to the First Nations, for example the reserves and the residential schools. They wanted to reconcile with the First Nations people and be able to co-exist in peace with eachother.

       Multiculturalism

Canada is a great contributor to showing how multicultural nations can manage to work and live together in peace. Many different religions, being many different non nationalist and nationalist loyalties tend to come into conflict and not get along and/or agree on many things involving the country. Our school is a great example of multiculturalism. With so many different cultures, countries can be scared of segregation occurring, thus leading to less and less loyalties and more and more disagreements between those loyalties. But Because of reconciliation we can all live and work as a whole.

Our school, crescent heights high school is a great place to really show multiculturalism and acceptance. Without Canada reconciling to so many different loyalties our school would not be such a diverse place. The reconciling occurred greatly with everyone being more understanding and knowing that alienation may sometimes even be a good thing Since we all came together as one we can call it a great place with great opportunities and a great complete loyalty.

Countries of Reconciliation

 

These 2 flags of Pakistan and India are two different loyalties who once were full on enemies and now accept each other for what they believe and who they are as different people with different rights. For non nationalist loyalties and nationalist loyalties to reconcile is a lot of work. Involving compromise and acceptance to each other and considering each others beliefs, it can be done! India and Pakistan are a great example of this considering all they've been through as enemies, and now being able to call each other friends. Both religions were close to alienation because of how Pakistan was basically trying to force Indians to change their ways and values to be more like them. Which once was failed caused both loyalties to realize the importance of multiculturalism and so they reconciled their differences and obtain respect for one another's beliefs.
