Dewey's democratic thought came into being to meet the needs of the great changes in American society at that time. He believes that there are two basic characteristics or standards to measure democracy, namely, how much people share benefits and the degree of free contact between social groups. Nationalism is not only a form of government, but also a way of living together and sharing experiences.

Therefore, in his view, education is the most effective tool to realize his ideal of a democratic society, and education itself should also be democratic. The combination of the two is the complete connotation of nationalist education advocated by Dewey.
