Patriotism is defined as:
Love of country; devotion to the welfare of one's compatriots; the virtues and actions of a patriot; the passion which inspires one to serve one's country.

I have seen many Jamaican professionals in the medical field who are living abroad, go to Jamaica every year, to provide free service to the poor in both rural and inner city ghetto areas. I have seen Jamaican abroad provide scholarships for secondary and tertiary level students - e.g. PALAS, who is doing yeoman service for those they left behind in their beloved home land.
When we look at Jamaica today, the patriots seem to be few and far between! Those in positions of leadership seem to be more interested in self than country, examples are politicians, heads of organization, and those in authority. read more
