Do you think that the usa would be where it is if they haven't implanted patriotism in the people?

Question

I think the usa would be only any other underdeveloped nation like the majority in the america.What do you think?

Answer 1

Patriotism exists in all countries in the western hemisphere.   We were lucky because we had accessible credit institutions (which Latin America didn't have), bountiful natural resources such as coal, lots of fertile farmland, and a great river transport system that allowed us to develop in the 19th century.

Answer 2

Implanted? The USA wouldn't have been founded in the first place without patriots. It doesn't have to be implanted...it's in our nature.

Answer 3

No, there have been other countries and their leaders that used patriotism and love for the motherland or homeland for political gain, even the people of those countries thought they we fighting for freedom when they were part of a mass killing.

Answer 4

well,where do I start patriotism, its a word Its all it ever was.it represents an idea.The idea to stand behind somthing.To stand behind the thousands who gave there lives so we could have the life we live today.The diversity of the world has gathered on the shores of america in hope of living a better life, then thoughs of there fore fathers.To live in freedom from teriny of over bearing governments.who chose to repress there people in any way they see fit.Because of our freedoms we have become one of the greatest nations on the face of this planet.The best of the best have chose to live here in the country.Bringing with them ideas,That have given us all we have today.So if your feeble little mind thinks

patriotism is implanted.You are obviously not an american.

but a member of taliban,trying to raise hate and discontent.

Answer 5

there is patriotism in every country, look at cuba for example, full of patriotism but little to show for it and so is mexico. patriotism really doesnt have anything to do with it as it is the will of the people and the government that decides the fate

Answer 6

No way: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, S. Africa.  All British colonized countries have always done equally well whether they rebelled or not.  Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel and has made the US more militaristic and fueled your civil war in exchange for a short period as number 1 superpower.  The only way the East wasn't going to overcome was if the whole British Empire including all of N. America had hung together and fought as one, fragmented you'd have to bet on the East over the long-term.

Answer 7

i think that patriotism, nationalism... sparks competition which will lead to success. now if you look at it the proudest cultures in the world are probably china and japan, and they are doing amazing right now.
