[Composition] - Patriotism

Introduction:

Patriotism is a very noble virtue. It means love for one's own country. It is an inborn quality. There is hardly anybody who does not love his country.

The poet rightly says: 

"Breathe there the man with soul so dead, 

Who never to himself hath said, 

This is my own, my native land"

He also serves the people. He stands by the affected people during the natural calamities. The people love and respect him from their heart. 

An unpatriotic person:

The person without patriotism is an unpatriotic man. He is selfish. He is the enemy of the country He never hesitates to plot against the country, He gets his return in the way. During his life, he is never honored by anybody. Nobody remembers him even after his death. Examples: There are many examples of patriotism.
