As follows:

1. Different concepts: Patriotism refers to a positive and supportive attitude of an individual or a collective towards the motherland, which is manifested in national self-esteem and national self-confidence, and the spirit of dedication to defending the motherland and striving for the independence and prosperity of the motherland.

and the entire superstructure.

and penetrate into all aspects of social life, becoming an influence on the destiny of the nation and the country.

important factors.

Nationalism. That is, an idea or movement based on the interests of one's own nation. American scholar Hans Cohen argues:

Nationalism should be seen first and foremost as a state of mind. According to the British scholar Edward Carr, "Nationalism is often used to denote a consciousness of an individual, a group, or a member of a nation, or a desire to increase the power, freedom, or wealth of one's own nation."

2. Different objects: The object of nationalism does not only include the state, but the object of patriotism is only the state. Patriotism is more about loyalty to the land in which it lives or its way of life, and less concerned with the core issue of nationalism, which is the abstract state.

3. Different standards of measurement: The core difference between patriotism and nationalism is that they adopt different standards of comparison, although the final comparison results are positive identification with their own country and people. Patriotism is more associated with the latter two criteria, while nationalism is more associated with the first.

Therefore, patriotism often has a positive identification with the country and a special concern for one's fellow man, but does not exclude others; For nationalism, the two are inseparable, and if there is no denigration of the other, there is no positive identification with oneself.

Introduction: Patriotism refers to a positive and supportive attitude towards the "motherland" by an individual or a collective. The "motherland" here can be a region or a city, but patriotism is generally used for a country or federation.

To love the country is to love the motherland, and the direct embodiment of the motherland is the compatriots, the direct embodiment of the country is the political power, and the motherland and the country are not the same thing. Citizens should love their homeland, and the state should be loyal to its citizens.

Nationalism also refers specifically to the ideology of national independence movements, and nationalism views human activities with national characteristics. Because ethnicity has become the mainstream of state structures, political science tends (and **) to pay attention to these extreme types of nationalism.

Generally speaking, patriotism refers to the love and nostalgia for the broad nation and the land to which oneself belongs, and the identification with the culture and basic values to which one belongs. Nationalism, on the other hand, refers to the sense of self-consciousness and national identity, pride, and superiority of a nation.

The difference between patriotism and nationalism

Nationalism is the highest embodiment of national consciousness, and nationalism is the highest embodiment of national consciousness. The vast majority of countries in the world today are multi-ethnic states, and there are very few single-nation states.

Patriotism will become a tremendous driving force for the development of the country, the nation, and society. The starting point and the final point of nationalism are the interests of the nation.

Nationalism within a certain scope is a kind of social consciousness and group sentiment that is legitimate, reasonable, and inevitable, but irrational nationalism that goes beyond a certain scope not only cannot be embodied in patriotism, but may mislead the country. Thus, nationalism can lead to both patriotic and deviant behavior.
