Nationalism and Patriotism

Should a Filipino DIE for his

country to be considered
nationalistic or ?
 PATRIOTISM
is love of and/or
devotion to one’s
country.

Although patriotism is
used in certain
vernaculars as a synonym
for nationalism,
nationalism is NOT
necessarily considered an
inherent part of patriotism.
 PATRIOTISM
is love of and/or
devotion to one’s
country.

Likewise, patriotism is
strengthened by adherence to
a native religion, particularly
because such a community
usually has its holy places
inside its motherland.
This also implies a value
preference for a specific
civic or political community.
Nationalism
is characterized by:
 an attachment of superiority
to one’s country,
 an aspiration for its
continuity,
 prosperity,
 and maintaining a high regard
and respect for the laws,
principles, and policies of that
country.
