Purpose and description

Let an agent explain patriotism and its varieties, distinguish it from nationalism and chauvinism with attribution, present philosophical and political debates neutrally, and describe patriotic expression across cultures.

Love of and devotion to one country, expressed as loyalty, pride, civic participation and willingness to serve, distinguished by many thinkers from nationalism and from chauvinism, an aggressive or exclusive form of national loyalty from which terms such as male chauvinism derive by extension, and appearing in local forms such as attachment to one town; patriotism is valued, debated and criticised across political traditions, and its varieties and critiques are presented here with attribution.

What it is for: Devotion to one country.

It can be explain varieties; distinguish related concepts; present debates neutrally; describe expressions.
