Re: National Pride
Nationalism as a sense or word has gotten a bad name in the last several years I would say. I think it’s due to the whole Terrorism thing that’s been going down in Iraq vs. USA.
It’s good to be proud of your background, heritage, where you grew up and your home. Your country has history that’s made it what it is today and people have given their lives for this so in my mind National Pride is a good thing. I love my country and to me it’s the best place on earth because its home. Everyone should feel a sense of homeliness about where they live. I don’t say my country is better than yours because to each individual it’s their home…if I do ever its just dry British humor.
People are scared that we will fall into extremity of Nationalism.
But isn’t that how our countries where made? By people who put their necks out for our countries. That’s a personal opinion that only you as an individual can decide but I do not believe in any violent nationalism or racism. That’s an extremity because as humans we are all equal and should treat each other as so.
Nationalism should remain, like many other broad subjects in our world a neutral believe and seen as a moral builder for the proudness of where you live. In turn this would only benefit the community of our earth. Pride of our backgrounds is what creates the soul and spirit of a culture in a country. Again, we are all equal…but a sense or national pride is healthy.
