On the Necessity of Nurturing and Practicing Patriotic Values in Light of Economic Globalization
Abstract: In light of economic globalization, the common interest of men and specific interests of nations co-exist. The status and function of a country as the most authoritative legal representative of the general interest of a nation remain the same. As long as different countries exist, patriotism will have its solid foundation. Nurturing and practicing such patriotic values are necessary not only to keep national characters, overcome depreciation of one's own nation, but to provide a base for realizing the“Chinese Dream”. It will help with both national security and competitive power. Other countries also try to promote patriotism, and China should facilitate its patriotic history to improve its patriotic education.
