Are you proud of your country? If you are like me you don’t really know how to respond to that question. I don’t have a response to that question because I have no real reason to be proud of my country because I am a thirteen year old kid that also just moved here from Canada two years ago. I could say that I'm amazed how the country has improved on intelligence but I could not say I'm proud because I don’t believe in fighting, so it is not like every time we win a war I cheer and say I'm so proud of them.
It's amazing how many people actually are proud but honestly what is there really to be proud of? Some people say that they are proud because we have a democracy but almost every country has more as a type of government that they think works. Also people say we are so lucky to have sports in our country but it is really only the third world countries that are not allowed sports other than that I cannot think of any countries that are not allowed to play sports.
Many people are proud of their country but what is the real reason? People say it is because we have wars or we have a democracy but those are not things to be proud of, almost every country has those things. I along with many others am unable to say I am proud, but I am able to say I'm amazed. I believe that this topic is very debatable on what they mean on "Are You Proud" but from my standpoint, no I am not proud of my country.
