Question
Neither descent, nor language, nor religion or ethnicity can claim to be a common factor in nationalisms all over the world. Comment.
Solution
Neither descent, nor language, nor religion or ethnicity can claim to be a common factor in nationalisms all over the world as there is no common set of characteristics that is present in every nation. It is very difficult for every lingual, religious, and ethnic group to become politically and economically viable. This also leads to several problems for those groups that are in the minority. Therefore, no nation-state can stand only on the factor of religion or ethnicity.
