POLITICAL ANALOGY : Think of a Nation as a Family. No family is - TopicsExpress



          

POLITICAL ANALOGY : Think of a Nation as a Family. No family is all good or evil, and you dont choose your blood. Now there is a specific situation where you arent related by blood but are still family: adoption. For a Nation, adoption is simply called Immigration. A foreigner that is just visiting, is a house guest. A foreigner that becomes a citizen has been adopted into the Nation. Theyre family now. Illegal immigration is a foreigner trespassing to get adopted... O.o Also a guest shouldnt be able to make house rules whereas it would be unfair for an adopted child not to have as much say as a blood related one. It is possible to have two families, to be born of one biologically and belong to another via adoption, this would be dual citizenship. In essence outlawing dual citizenship is asking a kid to choose between two families to belong to. It seems harsh...except perhaps in extreme cases. Families dont always get along, but when they have their own homes (Nation - States), they can just tell the other to stay away or fight about it with whatever each has to defend themselves... if they have equal power they tend to just defend the border (Korea), or if one is more powerful often times it will get what it wants with as little mess as possible (Russia in Ukraine, Israel with Palestine) whereas if they are in the same home and one family is in charge (empire, ethnic majority or minority power grasp) then genocides occur (Ottoman Empire and any ethnic minority especially Armenians, Irak under Saddam Hussein and Kurds). Some would like to make all of the land one home for all of the families, a One World Government. The main problem with this is that a family or group of families will take over and mistreat weaker families, even worse than if each had their own home. In each family there are different groups of likes and dislikes. This means that if the family leadership fails at something, another group within the family can try. This analogy could go quite in depth... especially since each family has a unique past but shares some stories with others.
