Humanity or Patriotism,which is most important?

Question

And why?

Answer 1

You can have both, what you can't have is Humanity and Blind Patriotism.

Answer 2

You shouldn't have to choose.

It is possible to have both. You can have pride in your country and still care for others. True humanity and true patriotism should not conflict. A country is a group of people sharing a geographic area and political system. A country is people. Patriotism is pride of your country (that means your are proud of the people).

Answer 3

Humanity. People exist. They have thoughts, feelings, lives. Countries don't.

Answer 4

By my definitions, neither one can come to fruition without the other. Good government is supposed to care for its citizens — humanity — and patriotism should only be granted to good government.
