My efforts in this research work have been geared towards unravelling the motivating factors behind United States of American “America first” or “ideological patriotism” or “white nationalism” “white nationalist consciousness” rather than “ideological globalization”. I observed that the controversies posed a threat to technological transfer, political and economic development of the developing countries. Findings showed also the strengths and weaknesses of “America first” or “ideological patriotism” vis-à-vis “ideological globalization”. The objective of this research work is to present a way forward for the two ideologies. The research work recommended that the “America first” or “ideological patriotism vis-à-vis “ideological globalization” should be human-oriented in nature considering the mind of God for the poor.
