Is there a difference between patriotism and nationalism. I am not sure what your teacher is asking, it sounds like your teacher is asking you to decided between one and uno. Patriotism denotes positive and supportive attitudes to one's nation, and nationism is just the political movements of patriotism. For me I am jingoistic, I find no vice in love for one's country.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
See a place were the flags are waving
That's a place were they've gone to far
