I'd say national pride itself isn't the problem-it's more about how it's expressed. Healthy pride can unite people, but when it turns into competition or exclusion, that's when issues arise. For example, in China, we have a strong sense of national identity, especially around events like National Day. It's a time when people feel connected, but it doesn't mean we're against other countries. The key is to balance pride with openness to collaboration. If countries focus more on shared goals, like environmental sustainability-something my sister is passionate about-it could foster global harmony without diminishing national identity. So, it's not about having less pride, but rather using it to build bridges, not walls.
