PATRIOTISM AND NATIONALISM BY DONALD KOGAN 2
A Brief Introduction
Donald Kogan, an ancient Greece scholar of classics, defined patriotism as being
loyal and devoted to one's country while nationalism is the rigid support to one's country's
development status. Patriotism and nationalism show how one is dedicated and devoted to their
homeland in comparison to the love of other countries. The two differ in that while patriotism is
more of showing love, nationalism is more of conflict and rivalry. It is easy to spot patriotism
and nationalism, but it becomes hectic, especially in a time of national threat, more so when a
manipulative politician seeks to erase them. For instance, during the Second World War by
Herman Goring, a Nazi military leader. What an easy way to drag a resistant population to war is
to inform them they are being attacked and proclaim the peace lovers of their lack of patriotism,
which brings danger to the country. In terms of attitude, patriotic can tolerate criticism, while
nationalists cannot.

terrorists unless they dessert those practices. Most Americans, however, showed a new sense of
everlasting love to their country compared to the past.
Patriotism exists more in free countries like America than in dictatorship form of
governed countries. Dictated citizens have no right to commitment because of a lack of moral
