I'm debate that nationality divides society MORE than class. remember nationality. not race. can you help me out with some FACTS to put in my opening statement? thanks:)
 
A really good thing to point out would be how nationality only exists because of the time that Einstein eat a bad peanut had a dream and developed the theory that people are not only reflective of the enviornment they grew up in but also how nationality defines who you are. I got an A when I mentioned this on Sociology Degree presentation. Good luck! :]
 
I think that because the terms are often mis-used and confused the very fist thing u need to do is define nationality. THen I would personally go into some historical exmples of "nations" conflicting with each other.

A strong argument could be made by your opponents that Karl Marx's entire goal was to eliminate class conflict by implementing communism and that it was a miserable failure, therefore class conflict will always exist, even when you eliminate classes.

I hope this gives you a starting point.

Napoleon discovered that nationality is what will win wars and enlarge land owned by those who connect themselves with that nation.
A New Nationalism

Many of the territories occupied by Napoleon during his Empire began to feel a new sense of nationalism. During the occupation, Napoleon destroyed and disallowed many nation's individual cultures, and the people of these nations greatly resented this. As a result, Napoleon's conquests spurred a new nationalism in the occupied nations, particularly in Germany and Italy, at a level that had never previously existed.

Napoleon saw nationalism as indispensable to maintaining the loyalty of the French people to his regime. After all, it was the spirit of nationalism that had inspired its armies in a remarkable series of victories that had especially benefited Napoleon and allowed his rise to power. The trick was for Napoleon to build a personality cult around himself so that the French people would identify him with France itself and therefore make loyalty to him equivalent to loyalty to France. However, by identifying national loyalty with one man, Napoleon inadvertently weakened the inspirational force of nationalism and thus his own power.
