Nationalism and Patriotism

Nationalism- is generally used to describe two

things. The first is attitude of the members of a
nation which includes the concepts of national
identity, origin, ethnicity, and cultural ties. The
second is the action that the members of a nation
take when seeking to achieve or sustain full
statehood with complete authority over domestic
and international affairs.

Patriotism- is love of and devotion to one’s

country. The word comes from the Greek patris,
meaning “fatherland”. However, patriotism has
had different meanings over time, and its
meaning is highly dependent upon context,
geography and philosophy.

Personal Development Plan

 Wells (2012), Seven (7) Simple Steps- Life

Transformation Guide, states that success
requires an articulated goal.

1. Your True Self- Begin with some introspection

to help you define your values, your patterns, and
your beliefs.

2. Make It Personal- Understand success and

achievement, and what it means to you and to
others.
