>Patriotism is an emotional attachment to a nation which an individual recognizes as their homeland. This attachment, also known as national feeling or national pride, can be viewed in terms of different features relating to one's own nation, including ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects.

is being a patriot a virtue? if yes why?

It's a virtue from the point of view of the nation. It's not from the point of view of the individual.
The reason is that the patriot puts the nation's interest before its own.
Did you really need to ask this?

How it can be different? Nation is made up by the individuals. Is patriotism an objective virtue such as being honest or brave?

>Is patriotism an objective virtue such as being honest or brave?
Being honest is most certainly not an objective virtue, there's plenty of situations where deception brings forth better results for everyone involved.
Bravery is such a loosely defined concept that doesn't even bear consideration.
You seem rather naive tbqh.

Read the third sentence over and over again until it gets through your dense skull.

How do you define bravery?
>>
>>899986
The capacity to overcome fear and doubt.
Seems simple, but you'll get endless debates about what this actually means in practice.
