Patriotism

Patriotism is defined as putting the importance and love on country’s interest first. Moreover, it is also defined as contributing to the nation by lending out a hand whether it’s for development or in terms of sacrificing when necessary. Nowadays a lot of people think that patriotism means to put your life for the country for example a soldier – protector of the nation. However being patriotic doesn’t mean that only. Patriotism also means providing service to the country in terms of any aspect that is being needed for the better future of the country.

Back in the history a lot of people have served their own country, some of them even put their lives to protect the country. There are many new generations today whom still serve their country with as much dedication. These people are the ones that do not care about themselves, in order words being selfless just to protect and work for the nation.

Until today, many people are still motivated in terms of serving the nation in whatever way possible. However, the feeling of patriotism is slowly dissipating compared to the past. The young generations today does not feel as strongly as the previous generations to serve for his/her country.

To tackle this issue, the older generations must conduct their role to taught their children the meaning and feeling of patriotism. Education also must be conducted by promoting patriotism from institutions for example kindergartens, schools, colleges and universities. The young generations of the country must provide love and respect for the country, working towards it to build this nation stronger than ever.
