I think you study overseas. So the audience are from different parts of the world. My advice to you is to not include the things you wrote above. You must think of your audience backgrounds.
You can define patriotism first. Then give some examples.(avoid talking about religion) |

Yes. Please be neutral in your presentation. Do not talk from Muslims, Jews or Christians points of view. Be neutral. |

Yeah, keep the discussion centered on the love of, loyalty toward, and willingness to defend one's country... NOT one's religion.
Look at Iraq: Some Iraqis have swallowed their religious pride to serve a more secular, democratic Iraq. Others want Iraq to be subject to the mandates of their religion.
I think that patriotism needs to be separated from religious zealotry. I am a Christian, but I gladly acknowledge that the greatest patriots in US history include a great mix of people: ages, sexes, races, religions (or lack thereof), etc. -- their personal differences were many but they all found purpose in defending flag and country. _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover.

Hi Dody,
If you really want to talk about patriotism you should start using proper words. Don't use fancy chatroom lingo like 'u' and 'i'.
