Advantages. 1  Variable wavelength amplification possible. 2  Compatible with installed SM fiber. 3  Can be used to extend EDFAs. 4  Can result in a lower average power over a span, good for lower crosstalk. 5  Very broadband operation may be possible.
Nationalism must be distinguished from patriotism. Patriotism is fundamental to liberty because pride in oneâs nation-state, and a willingness to defend it if necessary, is the basis of national independence. Patriotism is the courage of national self-determination. By contrast, nationalism is patriotism transformed into a sentiment of superiority and aggression toward other countries. Nationalism is the poisonous idea that oneâs country is superior to somebody elseâs. Nationalism is intrinsically a cause of war and imperialism.
In theory: Patriotism is a feeling of pride and love for one's country. Common acts of patriotism include erecting a flag of one's country in the home or yard, decorating one's car with as many flags as possible, and singing national tunes!
