This is my part of my essay about patriotism and fighting for what you believe in.

Patriotism. What is it, really? Yes, it is hanging your nation's flag outside your house, but it is more than that. Patriotism is fighting for your country and what you believe in. Our fore-fathers brought forth this country by hard work and pride. They fought both physically and spiritually for our country, as many other people have brought fought for countries of their own. They bring pride and honour to their countries....

What happens when the country does something you do not believe in?

Can you be patriotic and also be a critical thinker?
Is patriotism a virtue no matter what country you are from?

Maybe these questions will give you ideas about how you will continue. The way you have written this paragraph is nice, but maybe a little too simplistic and obvious. Dig deep. Patriotism is an anomaly.
