National Pride

National Pride is an emotional attachment to the nation of which one is born in. Patriotism is also one word that can describe these feelings one might have. National Pride is a huge deal to me, people who do not hold pride for their country are the kind of people you just cannot trust as a friend. The United States of America is the best country on this planet, but I have also never been anywhere other than Canada so I don't know if that'll tell you something. It makes me so sick when people do not love their country. For example Colin Kaepernick not standing for the national anthem before the sea hawks games, that makes me mad. Even though he claims he is making a stand for his race, I think he is making a stand against his country, and Americans are known for being very patriotic. With President Elect Donald Trump many people are outraged, the claims of change he wants to make are leaving people less patriotic, but he was the poplar vote by a land slide so these claims are nonsense to me. Patriotism is a feeling we all should have and share, without letting ethnocentrism get in the way, it could possibly help every one unite and maybe get a little more peace in this world.
