Patriotism positive attitudes by individuals to their own perceived civic or political community, to its culture, its members, and to its interests. Actions towards other countries, or to non-civic groups, are not generally described as patriotic, and they may be referred to by a specific name, such as pro-Greek philhellenism. Patriotism is closely related to nationalism. Differences between the two are commonly claimed to be that patriotism is primarily emotional and related to positive attitudes to one's own community, while nationalism combines both positive attitudes to one's own community and negative attitudes to other communities and is related to war. patriotism/nationalism, October 2, 2001, Random House
To some, patriotism has connotations of self-sacrifice, implying that the individual should place the interests of the community above their personal interests, and in extreme cases their lives and the lives of other individuals, perceived to be members of a different community. In wartime, patriotism as so understood is assumed to be the main driving force for participation in military operations, certainly if it is voluntary. In this context patriotism is seen as an explanation for the apparent suspension of the instinct for self-preservation, which implies that all humans would avoid a battlefield.
