Please provide two examples of your own that demonstrate ways in which people express their national identities through acts of nationalism or patriotism.
1) To me it means being proud to be a citizen of Egypt; my home. It means celebrating unity with a diverse people who share my values. It means believing in the principles of my nation and doing my part to help it stay its intended course; a responsibility. 2) English People: Many English people are full of energy and it makes people want to be around them more. Do something impulsive, or try being a daredevil. Others will love it. British women don't wear boring clothes, they usually add some accessories. Spelling differs, like , it's favourite, not favorite! Americans: behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance. An acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary.
3) Blind loyalty! Look at how Bush used the "political capital" he gained from 911 to invade Iraq! Simple rule. If your loyal to your nation, its people, and what it stands for your a patriot. If your loyal to some man or government and consider them to be the country your a nationalist. Your country and your government are two different things. Patriots get that. Nationalist don't.
