In some countries, people refrain from voting since they believe none of the candidates are worthy of
the office. While that may seem like a method to make your voice heard, it actually does nothing to
keep the government honest. Rather, going to vote and encouraging honest people to fight elections
will be the healthy alternative. Vote for the lesser evil, I guess. And then work towards finding and
electing good politicians who will serve for the welfare of the masses.
Buying locally produced goods increases the revenue of the district and contributes to the economy of
the country as well. Small scale industries grow and provide employment to the local men and women.
This directly increases the viability of a country. Also, such products are good quality and the food crops
are generally pesticide free and healthy.
This might seem a tad too simple to be doing this but it speaks volumes about a country when it is neat
and clean. Proper waste management, recycling and composting encourages others around you to do
the same resulting in a cleaner, greener country over all. Planting trees occasionally will also make the
air healthy, and a lot more conducive for travellers increasing tourism.
This will increase tourism and general interest towards the country. The positive reviews of tourists and
citizens alike improves the rank of the country on the basis of viability as a place of travel. Before
travelling, everyone nowadays checks for first hand online reviews of the living conditions, safety and
dining offerings of the place they’re visiting. An all over happy vibe makes the country better in the
happiness index and contentment.
Each country is made up of people of varied ethnicities, religions and follow different cultures. But they
all bring something to the table. The country is a beautiful amalgamation of the richness of each
community that is unique in itself, yet a part of something big. The progress of each country is visible
only when everyone feels safe, welcome and happy in that country. The feeling of patriotism rises
automatically when you love your country unconditionally.
Yes, well, this too! Tax is the direct link of a citizen to tu government and his country. When that money
is used to develop infrastructure, provide education, and employment is makes the country better. This
way you have given back to the country in return for so much that your birth-land does for you. Giving
to charities and health institutions is also patriotic because you’ve somehow elevated the countries
destitute.
9. Volunteer.
Participate in marches to protest, to demand and to bring about change. Volunteer at night shelters, or
soup kitchens or whatever it is locally called in your city. Give to the poor all you have to spare, and
devote a few hours every week at a home for the elderly. Along with their blessings, you get a feeling of
happiness and satisfaction that is par none. This one-to-one work shows you the results instantaneously
and the smiles that you brought to every life that you touched. Empathies, and the rest will flow.
The most literal way of being patriotic is to hoist the flag of your country – in the right manner of course.
Every country has rule book about how you can fly the flag. It might be hard to believe but not a lot of
people do this anymore, even though it is so simple and swells the heart knowing you belong to your
country.
AND
Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.
Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged,
but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are
involved. By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which
one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is
of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is
inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure
more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has
chosen to sink his own individuality.
