Nationalism and

Patriotism
 The term “nationalism” is generally used
to describe two things, first is the attitude
that the members of a nation have which
includes the concept of national identity
such as common origin, ethnicity and
cultural ties. The other one is the actions
that the members of the nation take when
seeking to achieve self-determination.
Patriotism is love of and/or
devotion to one’s country.
Patriotism has had different
meanings over time, and it’s
meaning is highly dependent upon
context, geography and
philosophy.
Although patriotism is used in certain
vernaculars as a synonym for nationalism,
nationalism is not necessarily considered an
inherent part of patriotism. Likewise,
patriotism is strengthened by adherence to a
native religion, particularly because such a
community usually has its holy places inside its
motherland.
Nationalism is characterized by
an attachment of superiority to
one’s country, an aspiration for
it’s continuity, prosperity, and
maintaining a high regard and
respect for the laws, principles
and policies of that country.

The Philippine Flag
A flag is a sacred and respected feature of the
nation which it symbolizes. Each nation’s flag has
a specific way in which it should be displayed
and folded.

Our national flag is the symbol of our country.


It shows our unity as a people. It stands for our
high ideals and noble heritage. Therefore, when
you show respect for the flag, you also show
respect for our country and people.
The Philippine National Flag is
said to be the primary symbol of
the nation’s camaraderie,
solidarity, and unity. It is
therefore, the symbol of
nationalism and patriotism in our
country.
