Does Patriotism Matter?

Nowadays, does our country still have patriotism? Or . . . do we not care about what we do and boss others around, that are innocent and did nothing do hurt us? There are people in this world that aren’t getting treated as fairly as people in the United States. Also there are people in the United States that aren’t getting treated as fairly as other countries in this world. In this time, this second, this world, there are people that are getting made fun of because of their skin color, and their personality. Think of it this way: when you are a different size than everyone else you know and don’t have the same looks as others, you get made fun of it that way. That is going on in these teenage years but in the real world there is a lot of different bullying going on and it does matter. It matters because there are people that have a different skin color as others and then people don’t want to treat them the same as they would treat their closest friends There are people in this country that are very loyal to this country and that respect their ruler. However, there are people in the United States of America that aren’t respectful to our president, because he is an African American and has darker skin, in other words there are people that don’t want to treat him the same way those people want to be treated. Also there are people that are treated differently because of their religion. It doesn’t matter what their religion is, we need to be respectful for different thoughts of what they want to believe and what they don’t want to believe. Do I think patriotism matters? Yes, I do, because if we are true patriots of this country then we need to respect each other race, religion and other individual’s differences. Being a good citizen of this country means to respect our leader, and work together for the changes we want. So next time you see a friend, or someone take a spot and help. This is what patriotism means to me.
