patriotism
Patriotism is a difficult emotion.We are ambivalent about it, despite the Anzac tradition.

We are uncomfortable with the way our governments talk it up and use it.
Have you noticed the undertone of patriotism or even nationalism to national Australian news.
You would have noticed the whipped up jingoism by the sports commentators that turns the stomach and makes you feel sick.
Some turn to postnationalism in a global world and go cosmopolitan.
