Patriotism
Patriotism Patriotism is a love of and loyalty to ones country. ... The word patriotism comes from a Greek word meaning fatherland. ... Patriotism was still a love of ones country that included connections to the land and people, but then also included its customs and traditions, pride in its history, and devotion to its welfare. Today most people agree that patriotism also involves service to their country, but many disagree on how to best perform such service. ... Patriotism means something different to every one in my opinion. What I would say patriotism is, is someone who makes a selfless life changing decision for his or her country, no matter what the cost.
