On a scale of 1 to 10, how proud/patriotic are you of your country?
So something I have noticed since becoming a teacher in Spain is the struggle here with the history regarding the Spanish Civil War. It often comes up in my classes, although I would say the great majority of my students are proud of their country - but show in different ways. Many can be weary of displaying or wearing Spanish flags/regalia as the royalist vs republican association with Franco's regime is still strong.
ANYWAY I was explaining to one of my adult classes how the Union Jack came about, using a Union Jack (England + Scotland + Ireland) and later when we were discussing, one lady who doesn't care much for patriotism remarked how passionate I was when explaining the history behind the flag. So it got me thinking, how patriotic would you say you were of your country and even your local area?
1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest - and I don't mean a 10 meaning y'know CRUSH all other nations. I mean to test your strength of feeling. Basically if I could describe my love of country best - I would die for it and there's no bigger sacrifice to many than that.
How about you?
