Nationalism - as we use it refers to the primary classification/ideology that a person or group uses to define their identity(s). This can be based on a person’s nationality, religion, race, culture, ethnic traditions, political affiliation, or a combination of the above.
Culture - refers to the customs a group shares and identifies as its own. It includes things like food, clothing, language, celebrations, etc. It also includes customary practices for mating, marriage, raising children, education, training, etc. In short, culture is what a group does that helps define their personality and identity.
