Does patriotism still matter?
By: Annie Collins
Patriotism is what you need to have in order to believe in your country. In order to believe in your country you need to have love, respect and loyalty to your country first. I think that many people are patriotic, but some people think that patriotism does not matter anymore. Here in America there is a lot of patriotism, but there are also not a lot of people that are patriotic. Patriotism still matters, because if you don’t believe in your country, that means you’re not thankful for your freedom.
Here in America many people are patriotic, although there is a good amount of people that are not. I don’t like to hear that because I then think not everyone is happy to be an American. Also that the people that don’t believe in patriotism they don’t appreciate what the army and the government has done to make America a free country. As I said before this makes me mad that some people don’t appreciate their freedom. There are many ways to be patriotic.
Here in America there are many ways to be patriotic. A few of them are to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Also to salute the flag is another way to be patriotic. Citizens should show respect for the people that are fighting for their country. These men and women are risking their lives for us. Many people appreciate what these men and women do for our country but, many do not.
Where ever you are in the world patriotism is very important. This topic matters in many ways. I think that this topic is not talked about as much as it should. Many people think that it is not a good thing that there is a lot of fighting, but it actually is a good thing to keep us safe. Patriotism still matters no matter where you live or what religion you are or what your skin color.
