Patriotism Trilogy

Today, I submitted journal article #3, and that's the end of the Patriotism Trilogy. It started with journal article #1 which discussed whether teachers thought that patriotism involved loyalty to the government, did they dare cross boundaries in their teaching, and discussed about controversial issues that may make the government look bad at times? Journal article #2 focused specially on two teacher who dared to do so, they exhibited "constructive patriotism" as opposed to blinder forms of patriotism. Lastly, in the crowning article, journal article #3 tells us that each teacher's patriotism was unique! There were four kinds of patriotism: cosmopolitan, nationalistic, social-movement, and person-oriented.

I like this third one the best! Because it says there's no good or bad patriotism, just different kinds of patriotism! It is the crowning article. And yes, we have ended the Patriotism Triology, the three articles published from my work on my Masters thesis. Now... time to move on and start a new series with my Ph.D work! ;)
