is presented as a whole, but a state is only a part of the whole.
        The existence of separate states has been the cause of massive

        atrocities.  Nationalistic,  racial  and  religious  conflicts  were
        imposed based on theories of diverging interests. The state was

        presented  as  a  necessity  for  the  protection  of  its  people.
