Task 4: Read the text below and formulate an evaluative
statement and counter claim
Patriotism – Love of One’s Country
Patriotism is the love of one’s own country. It is a divine spark in the human breast. It teaches a man to
love his own native land more than anything else. A patriot thinks no scarifies too great for his country, he is ever
prepared to die for this motherland.
Patriotism, often makes people unjust, unfair and ungenerous in their estimate of the people of other
countries. Every nation, every country has something definite and distinct to contribute to the cultural heritage of the
world. It is foolish to say that anyone nation has all the monopoly of God’s good gifts. Patriotism must be sobered by
a proper respect for other people’s culture.
Mahatma Gandhi declared, Patriotism is good, but it must not supersede the feeling of universal love for
all humanity. It must not make us indifferent to the growing concept of “One World”.
Patriotism should not be mixed up with mere nationalism. If we keep this distinction quite clear,
patriotism will never mislead us into vain glorious boastfulness. We must love our country, but we must not hate the
people of other country. a true patriot must be prepared to learn from them, to help them, to co-operate with them.
Then patriotism will gradually be superseded by the cult of universal brotherhood…
