What is Patriotism? Patriotism is the love of one's country over all things. None of the young soldiers in All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Remarque, are painted as patriots. Instead they are instruments of elected or appointed politicians who use their own stilted sense of patriotism to encourage young men to then give their lives to defend the country.

Patriotism to me means having good citizenship, bravery, sacrificing, and love. It is important to me because it shows that we should practice all of these things in our lives. They are all helpful in everyday life. We can learn how to be brave, be a good citizen, and love one another by putting others first.

how us Americans are acting and our patriotism towards America he wouldn’t be happy at all. In fact when George Washington said one of his quotes it stated “The name of American, which belongs to you in your natural capacity must always exalt the just pride of patriotism…..”, and what that is if you are an American you should always speak highly or never speak bad on Americas. The role of patriotism today isn’t very large on a lot of Americans. The patriotism isn’t strong like how it was when…

Patriotism, as defined by Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, is “love that people feel for their country.” In different ways, American’s express patriotism. Ian Frazier’s “All-Consuming Patriotism” provides insight as to that same love people feel for their country being abused by our government.
