How to be a patriot in an age of globalisation | Rupert Gather | TEDxFolkestone

Описание: In today’s tumultuous political climate, now more than ever we must believe in ourselves and our common values and experiences. It is in this need for protection that Patriotism finds its very nucleus, as while economic and physical protection create the framework, underlying Patriotism lies much closer to home. Rupert Gather, in drawing upon the differences between Patriotism and Nationalism, shares insight on exactly what constitutes the basis of our modern Patriotism in this age of globalization.
