Answer: Many reasons

Explanation:

What It Means To Be a Patriot

(1)Honor.There is a little bit of it in each of us, some more than others, but because they earned it. But what exactly is honor? When people think of honor there are a multiple things that come to mind that would define it. (2)People are often mistaken for what honor really is and who is deserving of it. Most people would think giving it to the patriots of their country would be suitable, which sounds understandable. But what is a patriot? (3)(T) In order for someone to be worthy of honor he must do what it takes to have true patriotism in his country. (T)Different aspects can add up to the identity of America and the people in it. Widely shaped by it’s citizen’s uniqueness, ethnicity, and strive to stand up for what they believe in.(I) What makes up America are all the different lifestyles, which are illustrated through people’s individuality from all around the world. The duty of the people who make up their country is to accept one another, but when one exceeds the duty of just accepting, to going out of his way to perhaps, help that person, make their life a little easier, or for whatever it may be, they are doing something honorable. (G)Accepting others is what brings a nation together. An excerpt from the blog Life, by the capital/socialist author, Somik, notes a well constructed way of putting this. Honor is the recognition of selflessness. When we see someone who has gone beyond the little self, we are reminded of our own potential or self-imposed limitation. It is to acknowledge this potential or limitation that we recognize one who has gone beyond. A teacher who has gone beyond the call of duty and truly cared for the student is worthy of honor, for they have used their work (karma) to transcend their ego (Somik). (E)People can do good things, but are they always doing it for the right reason? It’s one thing to do something good for someone and not expect anything in return and doing something good for someone with the intentions of receiving. The ones who do that without such intent and instead do it because it’s the right thing to do, are the ones worthy of being honorable. (Ab)A nation with patriots showing their love and respect is a nation that is untied. (D)People must look within and do what is right by others regardless of anything that may discord it. When one is there for his country he is what brings them together which is apart of being an american and what makes one a true patriot.

(T) When it comes to understanding the effect of what people believe being a “patriot” means it is found that the misconception of this word leads to a greater fallacy of how it can blindly lead people. (I)In the book “Limits of Loyalty,” author Simon Keller writes,

Most people think that patriotism is a virtue. That, at least, is what is suggested by a quick glance at the political world and the popular media in contemporary western societies. Politicians constitute an extreme case – I think that many of them would rather be called cowardly, selfish or corrupt than unpatriotic – but their case is odd only for its extremeness. In everyday life, it seems as though you are usually offering a compliment when you call someone a patriot, and as though patriotism is usually thought to be something that we should foster in our children and ourselves. Patriotism, in the popular imagination, may not quite rank alongside kindness, justice, honesty and the like, but it is a virtue nonetheless; it is a character trait that the ideal person would possess. I think that this common view is mistaken. Patriotism is certainly not a virtue, and is probably a vice (Kelley). (E)Most likely the first thing to come to people’s minds’ when hearing patriotism is virtue but sadly, it has come to something profusely less. While patriotism isn’t inherently “bad,” it has become quite corrupted. People such as politicians, political leaders, former veterans, and even average day citizens who claim to be patriots...

This prolific US author promoted socialist views and anarchist causes as well as writing The Jungle.
Liula [17]
The correct answer is Upton Sinclair.

This American author became a national name with his book "The Jungle." This fiction novel was based on the real working experiences of individuals within the meat packing industry during the early 20th century. The disgusting habits/practices of this industry and the terrible working conditions described gained national attention, eventually leading to president Teddy Roosevelt passing the Meat Inspection Act of 1907.
