    THE CONCEPT OF

    NATIONALISM, PATRIOTISM
    AND VOLUNTEERISM
    By Janvemar M. Escalante
    NATIONALISM

    Nationalism is a devotion of love to one's land, from the Philippines,


    its stronghold. By means of a cultural context, like language and history,
    nationalism means giving more meaning to unity. It means to an
    individual that, among other nations, his nation is the most superior and
    he will protect it no matter what. Etymologically, the country of birth of
    a person, whether Filipino or otherwise, implies affection, care for,
    protection and patronage of one's native land and everything in it.
    Therefore, the ethnological implications of nationalism must all be
    present in one's being in order to be a Filipino nationalist. This implies
    a sincere commitment to the love , care, and protection of the
    Philippines and all that is associated with it: the land of the Philippines,
    the citizens, the sovereignty of the Philippines, its government, all
    things that reflect and symbolize the country; the Filipino people's
    expectations, hopes , dreams and needs.
    PATRIOTISM

    For no cause other than being a citizen of that country, patriotism is a


    loyalty to one's country. It is a common virtue, with more emphasis on
    values and beliefs, that relates to the love of a country. One who is
    patriotic would be willing for his country to make every sacrifice. He's
    never going to live selfishly and for himself. For example, for the sake
    of his country, a soldier makes the ultimate sacrifice of his life.
    The desire and determination to lay down one 's life for the
    fatherland is patriotism, the relentless commitment to risk one's life
    and limb for the state's protection. To be patriotic, in other words,
    is to be nationalistic. Conversely, without being nationalistic, one
    can not be patriotic.
    VOLUNTEERISM

    A fundamental expression of human relationships is volunteerism. It's


    about the need for people to engage in their communities and to know
    like they matter to others. We deeply believe that the social connections
    inherent in volunteer work are vital to the well-being of individuals and
    societies. Values such as cooperation, reciprocity, mutual confidence,
    belonging and encouragement are infused into the culture of voluntary
    work, all of which contribute greatly to the quality of life.
    Volunteerism 's nature is not to give part of a surplus one doesn't need,
    but to give part of one's self. Such giving is more than a duty of the
    heart, but it is a way of helping people to meet the deeper spiritual needs
    that embody the best of us.
