Сочинение на тему "являюсь ли я патриотом"

Patriotism in a very general understanding - a love for the motherland. For every person in the world her native land - the most expensive and dear to the heart. This is the piece of land that welcomed her with life, where the past childhood, where they live closest people. Such feelings are understandable, they are natural. Then they cover the whole country in which one lives, the people who speak the same language, and create a common culture. For all this makes people close to each other, united. Broadly speaking country - a big family, where everyone lives shared joys and challenges. Therefore, we feel our ownership and responsibility for everything that is happening in the country, so we are not indifferent as to put our country in the world. But patriotism is for me - it's not just a feeling, it acts aimed at making their country and our people were to live well.
