Nationalism is hard to define. It is something that we contribute everyday for. It is when the people of one country appraise that that is their country. It is that link that binds every citizen of that one country. Our country is also a prime example of nationalism. We can at on our nationalism in our borders of the United States, but when we cross the borders we enter their nationalism. One nation can act different than another.
To this nationalsm there also plays what we all have in common. In Ameruica we all have a common language. We also have symbols to represent our country.We also pay taxes to fund our goverment and to support our nation. one other thing that we have in common is that we use the same currency. Like staed before each country might have a different way of showing their nationalism.
A story of nationalsim was when Italy became a nation. Back Then Austria took over was then the tower of two sicilies. As time Went on they wanted to claim their independence. They Took their everybody in the country and they took over the country and claimed their nation.

copernicus and the trial of galileo
When you think of the solar system, there are two important theories you should know about, heliocentric and geocentric. When you break the words down they go to their Greek meanings. In Heliocentric: Helios is the Greek word for sun. While in Geocentric; Geo is Greek for earth. In both words: Centric comes from Kentron which is the Greek word for center. Geocentric means that the earth is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it. Heliocentric is a little different than that. It states that the sun is the center of the universe and everything revolves around it instead of the earth. Obviously both of these theories are not true. The Geocentric theory may have come first but it is not the correct one.
During the 16th century a scientist created a model of this years later. this was not taken for consideration until years later. Galileo Galilei was a famous astronomer,philosopher, and a physicist. He played a very important role in the scientific revolution. In 1630 Galileo published the "Dialogue on the Two Chief Systems of the World." He took up the theories of copernicus and converted an experiment. Unlike the geocentric theory Galileo was able to support heliocentrism with knoowing facts and evidence from his studies of physics and his findings through his telescope that was placed in his garden. After he had tried to make this theory to affect he was placed under arrest by the catholic church. They did not believed that his theory was correct and teach another was not legal. They believed the theory Aristole. He had to renounce his theory and his book was banned by the catholic church.He was first first life in prison but was later altered to life house arrest.
