Answer 10

The answer can both be 'yes' and 'no'. Today the world has changed a lot. And with it, young generations are also changing. However, it is still good to see that even today, patriotism still exits among youngsters but not all youngsters are patriotic. In my country, i have seen youth who on Independence Day didn't even care to raise the flag. May be many of us don't even realise where we would have been today if Mahatma Gandhi hadn't brought Independence to India or if Sir Seewoosagar Ramgoolam hadn't brought Independence to Mauritius.

To many of us, Freedom means to have fun, to enjoy with frnds, to pass time with grlfrnds or boyfrnds or to go to the cinema, or to stop being, each and every time, ordered by our parents. But if we think about it all these things, if all these is possible today; it is becoz of great people like Mahatma Gandhi who indeed is very patriotic.

For me, my ancestors come frm India but we(My greatparents' generations) have been living in Mauritius for many n many years. Now, its the Mauritian Blood that runs in my veins and i love my country a lot. several times, i have seen Mauritian youths criticizing Mauritius, they don't love Mauritius at all as we r still a very small developing country n after completing their education many of them have immigrated to big countries like England, USA,....But however my Country may be, its my home. n a home is home whether it's small or big.

So to all youngster, many of you who don't like their country, think of our forefathers who fought for u so that you can live freely in your country today. LOVE YOUR COUNTRY AS IT IS!! we shuld go and ask a person retired from army what its means to be patriotic and how much u feel when u r abl to do something good for ur country. Don't ask politicians bcoz many of them are rearing corruption inside them, hiding behind a veil  frm the public's eyes

Answer 11

I am an older fellow and I do not think it lacks, I think the young people are actually questioning patriotism more than they used to. They are not easily sold into believing there is a need to go out and start wars, when we have enough problems right here at home. I do believe they would all stand up though if we were invaded. You younger people are just getting smarter than the Old War Mongers thats all. I am still proud of you all!

Answer 12

Patriotism in younger generation is greatly encouraging.

Answer 13

I don't think anyone is as aware of their patriotism before serving in the armed forces as they are afterward. Since there is no draft and the military is made up of an all volunteer army, those who don't know what it means to put your life on the line for months on end can't possibly measure their patriotism against those who do and have. This is not meant to 'put down' those who haven't. The time may come when their patriotism will be tested...and I believe those who haven't served will answer the call before they lose their freedom.
