You believe that a nation should prioritize its own interests and maintain self-governance to achieve greater autonomy and prosperity.
Sovereigntism is a political ideology that emphasizes the principle of sovereignty, which is the full right and power of a governing body to govern itself without any interference from outside sources or bodies. This ideology is often associated with nationalism and can be seen as a reaction against perceived threats to national sovereignty, such as globalization, supranational organizations, and immigration.
Sovereigntists argue for the primacy of national laws over international agreements and institutions. They often oppose the transfer of powers from national governments to intern…

How do you think your day-to-day life would change if your country became more isolated from the rest of the world?
@9JLTC453mos3MO
Globally it would calm down across the board because many of the issues we deal with today were unresolved issues set in motion by our own government. Here things would improve because the funds we use to resolve all of these foreign conflicts that we started could be better spent domestically.
@9JLW5DH3mos3MO
Do not start endless wars or get involved in them but if an ally is being attacked give them full military support
@9JLWCPS3mos3MO
It would be worse because America doesn’t produce sufficient resources that are used by the people to isolate from other countries.
@9JLVFBRRepublican3mos3MO
Yes. If America were to isolate itself from the rest of the world we would have to turn to our own resources to provide for the nation. That would include expanding certain industries which might also increase job opportunities.

How might the experience of immigrants in your community shape your views on a country's sovereignty and borders?
@9LFRNCW1mo1MO
This helps me recognize that humans need to be treated equally in our community compared to my country's sovereignty. Ultimately, It is important to equally treat our community within humanity.
@9LFQLQZ1mo1MO
people who are sovereigntism are either going to accept them or deny them
@9LFR2LR1mo1MO
In shapes it because people dont see their pov until they get to experience it or hear about it
@9LFQR9P1mo1MO
I say that borders should be able to allow immigrants to get through if they apply for US citizenship and pay for a cheaper price.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
Would you prefer your school's rules be set by students or by an external board, and why might a country feel the same?
Set by a board. Students, specifically teenagers and young children, don't understand what's the best for them in a school setting.
@9LBQGT6Republican1mo1MO
Especially through high school, even teens can realize what skills they lack and what they need to be successful in the future.
@9L9WRDHProgressive1mo1MO
I believe that students should be strongly considers in the decision making when it comes to their educational environment.
@9L92XTS1mo1MO
An external board because there would be more of a struggle for consensus among student-created rules. Adults also have the added benefit of life experience, however this should not discredit the struggles and needs of modern generations. Appointing a male and female senior high student in each graduating class would allow youth concerns to be heard and considered while ultimately putting the responsibility of both successful and unsuccessful decisions on the external adult board.

Do you feel more connected to your local community or the global society, and why does that matter to you?
@9JLT45P3mos3MO
I feel more connected to my local community because I know people. This matters to me because connections are important.
@9JLSQ4RIndependent3mos3MO
Being connected locally gives a sense of community, but global ties are great for broader perspectives.
@9JLSPR7Republican3mos3MO
My local community, yes global society matters. However I think the local community plays a bigger part in your everyday life than global society.

Would you be willing to sacrifice certain technological advancements if it meant your country could remain more independent?
@9HFZW3FRepublican5mos5MO
Not all technological advancements are necessarily helpful and some can actually be dangerous. Some technologies should be sacrificed to remain independent.
@9HFZR685mos5MO
Yes. Technology has been great but there are also things such as weapons, that its been harmful more than helpful.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
When has your life been affected by a rule or law that didn't seem to consider your individual needs?
@9HTW75B4mos4MO
When they started forcing me to pretend a man was a woman or vice versa. Not all lgbtq, I like gay people because that doesn’t interfere with my life. But when they say I have to start using pronouns and living a lie, count me out. That’s not fair to me. I don’t require anyone to do anything special for me. No one deserves that so called “right”. All fine and dandy until a 60 year old man “identifies” as a 16 year old boy to get with an actual 16 year old girl. You can’t magically change your age, just like you can’t magically change your gender.

How might the culture and identity of your own community be preserved or changed if decisions were made by external organizations?
@9HDKR6WRepublican5mos5MO
as a christian I believe we should let God the only Father take care of that for he has a plan
@9HDKLXXProgressive5mos5MO
My community, the Black community has disproportionately been underrepresented and unheard by the government, so I'm very resistant to anybody but us speaking for us.

How might your choice of local versus global brands reflect a sense of sovereignty in everyday life?
My choice of local versus global brands reflects of a sense of sovereignty in everyday life by picking things that would rather benefit me rather than the community.
@9KS9BJJ2mos2MO
Choosing local brands rather than large corporations can reflect sovereignty, as it can be an example of nationalism.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How do you think globalization affects a nation's sovereignty and should nations resist this influence?
@9H6TJ3K6mos6MO
If this is referring to trade and border policy, no. If this is discussing changing the way a government is run to be influenced by other countries, yes, as this would no longer reflect the needs of the citizens.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What if the sports you play or the music you enjoy had to conform to international standards; would that be acceptable to you?
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
If a foreign entity decided what sports could be played in your community, how would you respond?
@9LCLJH31mo1MO
I would not be thrilled. I play an abnormal sport, and I love it.
@9LCLFD2Independent1mo1MO
I would respopnd well because this is my community why would they have a choice in what is allowed.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
How does your favorite family tradition shape your understanding of why a country might value its independence?
@9L9DMQ3 1mo1MO
Independence is valuable because it allows us to express ourselves
@9L9DJM61mo1MO
My favorite family tradition, celebrating our cultural heritage through annual gatherings and rituals, instills a deep appreciation for preserving identity and autonomy. Similarly, a country's commitment to sovereignty often stems from the desire to safeguard its unique history, culture, and governance from external influence, ensuring the preservation of its national identity.
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
What local festival or celebration in your town could be impacted by outside influence, and how would that affect you?
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
How would you feel if a foreign language was made mandatory in your school because of an international agreement?
