  1. How do we know where something begins and ends? • Political boundaries • What’s the lines of demarcation? • What kinds conflicts arise over political boundaries?

  2. What are we doing today? • In your table groups: • Develop 3 examples of each of these: • Country-an identifiable land area • Nation-a population with a single culture • State-a population under a single government • Stateless Nations: culture group not included in state political process • Nation-State-a single culture under a single government

  3. What is America? • “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” • Is America schizophrenic? In your groups develop an argument-ONE statement that clearly states what America is… with proof.
