What does patriotism mean

Patriotism means a positive and supportive attitude of an individual or a collective towards the motherland.

Meaning:

Patriotism is a positive and supportive attitude of an individual or collective towards the "motherland". The "motherland" can be a region or a city, but patriotism is generally used for a country or a federation.

Patriotism is the love of the motherland, which is directly reflected in the compatriots, and the state is directly reflected in the regime, the motherland and the state are not the same thing. Citizens should love their motherland and the state should be loyal to its citizens. "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of all." If culture is not extinguished, China will not be extinguished. To love one's country means to love one's culture, which means to guard traditional Chinese culture.

Positive Comments:

Human beings form societies because of the need to survive, and use the power of the group to facilitate access to living resources and gain protection. People develop feelings of attachment and honor to the comfort, tranquility, abundance, superiority and security provided by the community in which they live. In order to secure the benefits of production and life, people spontaneously defend the integrity of the group. This is nationalism in its simplest form.

Genres of Patriotism:

Individual:

Individual patriotism is a sentimental, voluntary patriotism. Patriots of this type have a certain defined view of patriotism, such as maintaining respect for the flag; not only that, but they often insist that all citizens, without allowing exceptions, should have the same view of patriotism as their own.

This kind of patriotism is structurally similar to other values concepts-movements, and is politically manifested in the attempt to get better legal support for their own values.

Official:

Official patriotism is patriotism with a highly symbolic formal content, which all governments will always promote, no matter what the circumstances. It is a logical corollary of the state itself, and is based on the jurisprudence that "the state is an expression of the public ****ing welfare of the political community". National monuments, Veteran's Day, holidays honoring great men/historical events, etc., are all prime examples of official patriotism.

Governments may, for a variety of reasons, launch patriotic campaigns to elevate citizens' identification with the nation and its symbols.
