Patriotism, part 4

Another part of patriotism is the light in which your country is painted. If the media and all of the news and everything uses words and phrases that make your country look like the land of opportunity and this great place that helps everyone who is worse off then you will see that too. Most of the masses find it difficult to ask questions about what the 'higher ups' say. They take in information without saying, that's not right or wait what did he say? They take it at face value which is what every country wants because otherwise they will have to actually live up to the expectations.
