National Loyalty and Patriotism still relevant?
A few arguments surface when u browsed through the articles here...
National loyalty may seem to have waned in the rising tide of multiculturalism and religious extremism/fundamentalism, where people are called to be loyal to their culture/religion instead of to their nation. This can be esp damaging in a society which is multi-cultural as one's affiliation to one's cultural/religious identity (as opposed to national identity) can have a polarising or fragmenting effect on the society.
In the recent territorial disputes, national loyalty can be instrumental as to whether the sovereignty of a nation is respected by other countries. but as article 4 shows, excessive national loyalty can harm bilateral ties and hamper trade and investment. See more info here: Link 1 ; Link 2
Sample Qns:
1) Religion has caused more harm than good. Do you agree?
2) Should the love of one's country still be encouraged? (2009)
