I totally see what your trying to do here. I also believe that the current ways we interact with each other on a national scale is very poor. But I disagree with this method. Each country has their own methods of developing patriotism and national pride. Some are obviously more effective than others. I don't believe that the pledge of allegiance to any country is a real way to do so. It helps to support an already established sense of pride, but does little to create one. A repeated statement, regardless of the content is not pride. People taking notice of whats around them, and being proud of the actions of their nation as a whole is what will create pride. Many of our conversations on create debate is evidence of pride. We are taking notice of the downfalls of our society and are concerned enough to want to figure out a better way to interact with each other. The pledge of allegiance is a unified way for us to express the way we support and care for our nation and fellow citizens. A better way to achieve the same goal is to create a sense of humanity alongside our national pride. We need to look at other nations as different people isolated by geographic location, not different people separated by different wants and beliefs. We should want to help them move forward and be successful. We are not in competition with them. We are all ultimately fighting for the same goals. Just some peoples priorities are different and their social progression is at different stages. Acceptance and a real sense of morals will go much further than a vocal string of words.
