Since there are a few threads about pride in one's country popular today, I figured I would ask this basic question. There are certain qualities that generally fall under the heading of being a good citizen, at least according to most people such as:
1. Legal compliance
2. Be a moral person (don't seek to take advantage of people, no stealing, no killing, etc)
3. Be an active member of something that betters the community (like a church or charity)
4. Civic obligations such as paying taxes, jury duty, the draft, etc
5. Holding a job
6. (other things, the rest are just examples)
The question is, should pride in one's country be on this sort of list?
