1. I believe my there are many people who don't really feel like they are a part of Colombia. That they live here because this was the place in which the were born but not because they chose to. There are others, in the other hand who believe this is the right place to be and deeply love their country. Defend it from anything that might be giving a bad or wrong image to it and that would never leave. In my case, I have mixed feelings because I really love my country and want to do something to help it develop and become a much better place but for that I believe I must go to another place to study and get prepared to make that change. I don't think Colombia can offer me the necessary resources that I need, but in my mind I see a future in this country and I'm certainly coming back some day. It is hard for me to define myself as a nationalist, patriot or chauvinist because I don't really agree or find the qualities of them in me. One thing is certain, I am not a chauvinist. But I have certain characteristic of a nationalist but mostly patriot.
2. The difference between the terms nationalist, patriot and chauvinist is, a patriot person has a patriotic feeling which means he defends his or her country over anything and feels love for it. A nationalist on the other hand is someone who also has this love feeling but this time is working or want a specific goal for the country. Las but not least is chauvinist. This is taking either of the last to the extreme and adding to it violence and rudeness.
