Modern-day Nationalism

Modern-Day Nationalism Nationalism is loyalty and devotion to a nation. It is a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups. It is living by and for your country and your race. It is also standing by our culture, patronizing our own products. It is also being aware to promote our culture & heritage so that other nation may also look up to us. Today,although we have been freed from the colonial bondage of the Spaniards,American and Japanese. we as Filipinos should instill our being patriotic & nationalistic. I, as a student i can contribute in promoting nationalism by living up to the culture our forefather / ancestor have taught us. i can do this particularly by using the word "opo and po" and showing great respect for the elders. In my family, by being closely knit. we can very well show one special quality of us Filipinos. Also, showing our hospitality to our friends & visitors. In our community, unity and cooperation with one another speaks well of a typical Filipino culture. This is like the " moving boat " as they say the means of " bayanihan ". In our country, everyone should buy Filipino product. the government should encourage the production of our own quality goods that can also for export. As we develop,patronizing our own products we become famous in introducing the Filipino products & Philippines as a whole. Nationalism,its broadness is a quality that every Filipino can be an contributory factors just like our modern day heroes like Jessica Sanchez,Efren Peña florida,Manny Pacquiao & many other famous Filipino who have made their names in all fields. Not only did they brought glory & fame to our country but they also made every Filipino proud. So it is not true
