Advice
- Don't be biased or biased. Each nation, religion or ethnic group has its own beliefs. Like them, you too have your own beliefs, so respect those of others.
- You clearly don't have to agree with every event and every decision made in your country's history to appreciate it. Think about how your country has recovered from its mistakes and reflect on the ideologies expressed in the most important documents, such as the Constitution. While these principles are not absolute, consider whether these precepts contribute to a form of government that can act with the good of its citizens and all humanity at heart.
- Abusing your country or taking advantage of its systems or programs is not a good way to show your patriotism. These corrupt actions go against the goodwill which is the crucial element of patriotism.
- Encourage children to love their country so that they grow up as respectful citizens. This is the best way to set a positive example. As the children grow up, tell them why you think they should take their country in high regard. Remember that blind patriotism can be dangerous. Encourage your kids to think for themselves.
