TOEFL® essay samples: Patriotic reverence for the history of a nation often...

[Lekhak]

"It is obvious that the patriotic reverence for the history of the nation encourage progress".

Patriotism is the basic and fundamental of any country. Patriotic reverence is the fact because of which the people today are ready to devote their whole life to serve the nation. It is the fact in which the existence of the country lies. Once it vanishes,country lossess its identity. It is the history which acts as a predictor for the future.

Every country has its own history, heritage and culture etc. These are the basics which defines any country. Human behaviour is always affected by the surrounding where he or she is brought up. for example, if a child is brought up in the patriotic environment, his mind will automatically catches with up the patriotic ideas, which is necessary for the progess of ones country. This will make every child self determined and you can get rid from the ambiguities that comes in your way as you grow up.

The air of democracy that we are breathing today is only possible due the sacrifice of our great leaders. Every country is well known by its leaders,freedom fighters who sacrifice thier life for the welfare of nation. That's why their names are carved in the pages of the history with the golden words. Every contry pays great respect to its legends. When we come to know about their contributions towards the country, it encourages every citizen of the country to do something for the upliftment of the country. For example, there were great leaders such as mahatma gandhi, abhram lincon who fought whole life for the betterment of society and coutry. It is pride of the nation to have a adventurous history. President abdul kalaam is the vivid picture whose work is vital for whole nation. One secrect behind his success is the patriotic reverence of the history for the nation.

Inaddition to this, respect for the history of the nation helps us to analyse the fact where the mistakes were done by our ancestors and what are the consequences that nation has to face if its leaders fight only for power and lust rather than for the welfare of the nation. For example, the tyrants like adolf hilter,saddam husein who used to suppressed people's feelings and opinions never achieved their goal. They were unable to sustain for the long term pratice and ultimate result is the downfall. Thus, in every sense respect of the history teaches us many things that we can implement in our real life. Hence there is no dought that patriotic reverence for the history encourages us rarther than discourage.

Furthermore, the culture and arts of what we are part now can be only studided through the history. Modern age is the output of the gradual development of the past civilization. The drastic changes in the human race is reflected from history. Because of them the life today is simpler and comfortable. Knowledge of all these things arouse a feeling of deep respect within our hearts for them. Moreover it makes us feel responbile for the development of the nation.

The time changes but the morals remains the same. So, patriotic reverenece seldom impedes growth. History itself is the full of anecdotes, which forces us to think and extract only those things that are essential for the development of the nation.

In sum, Patriotic reverence for te history of the nation is not an impediment for the growth, rather it encourages for the progress.
