do you criticise your country or country people?

I am Indian and I can't say anything negative about my country, we are responsible for everything that happens in our place and as such I love my country. Yes it is an developing country and some people just keep on complaining instead of working for a better place. When we see slumps and filth all around the place we just close our mouth and nose and walk away instead of try and clear it up so i don't think we have the rights to criticize. If we can't help in the growth process we have no right to say anything negative

no way i never criticize my country or country people____our country protects us and give a place to reside and to work or earn__ and our country people they are quarreling with each other but when there is a country matter or anyone points towards us then they always become united to fight against them____ be proud of your country__

yes that is true. when we criticize our country we sould criticize the people in our country. cause our country development only depends on the people. and so mostly when i say i am not happy with my country i am saying that i am not happy how people develop or contribute to their country. we lack patriotism and so i think that we as a people of this nation has to develop a love for our own country. that is very important. cause most people around here when they work abroad, they only think how they will earn big money and for self gain. they are not thinking how they will be able to give back to their own country. i think those people here who have earned big or become a millionaire in other country should get back in my country set up a business and create a job here and not keep the money to themselves or just stay most of their lives in other country. they should think how to help people here and that way we can see our own country be developed. i do like to help my country in every possible way that i can but still i don't know how i can do that. i am just trying to develop my skills as of now as i can give back something to my own country. the least that i can do as of now is to buy local brands and products and so that i will patronize our own and that will help us to create more jobs for our people.

Yep I do criticize my country maybe it be negative or constructive criticism.. I usually ponder to how our country is degrading because of the worsening Politics here...

I do believe that there are cynical guy in the world as one of my friends is. He is the same age with me, after several time attempting for jobs and girls here, he becomes so cynical that always scold the society unfair and criticize that the country did not perfect for all kinds of system. I think the people who always cricisize their own country are the radical guy that we should blame for. Once they confront with the difficulty or the unfairs, they did not dig out the reason from themselve and turn the reason to the country. No matter what nationality he is, he will do the same as the personality decides

HI, I'm not agree with you. I think you have to be realistic, in my country we have many problems, I critizice them, I know too that in some grade I'm part of the problem, but if I myself don't recognize those problems, how start to doing something to resolve them? I agree with you, in that when you speak with foreigners you have to try to show the best things of your country, but with your compatriots you have to be true, and specially with yourself. Other way you are just fooling yourself. ClaNoe

I hate to crticise my country though I do know that as individuals we have many defects. Now . who doesn't? If we are guilty of some things people from other countries have other defects. So,I am only proud of the culture, the many positive aspects found in our country as a whole and also the positive attributes of my countrymen.

I think each country has their own problem. And so critiquing the country is one way of expressing one's love for the country. If one does not criticise at all then one does not highlight the problem that one faces. One reason for having given the right to freedom of speech is that we can criticise the state too. I think politicians need to be criticised, not for the sake of doing it, but because the system is not perfect so we need to criticise so that we may rectify the problems. And bureaucracy and other domain all have their own share of problem. And they all need rectification.

Hi ranviruchanuhan, often we criticise our country by criticising the politicians and their policies which are not generally representative of the peoples wishes. That is a completely different thing to criticising ones country and people and that distinction should be made. Often times the people who make these policies do not make them as something the people of the country can feel proud of but the good thing is that we do have the right to criticise.

HI ranvir.. no one is perfect in world and lots of chances to be criticised. but it is too hard to crticise a person without knowing him/her completely. i dont believe that noone exposes himself/ herself completely. so i find it a hard task. thanks... SHIBHAM

It's said that 'you will never know the value of your eyes when it's there'. When we go to a place & if there is atleast a single thing that we don't like, we start to say against that. When people are in their college, they might say that their college is the worst, but after they pass out & after some years, they will realize hoe great their college was. Similarly, people will know the greatness of the country once they go out to some other place. But still it might be true that there are better places in the world for us to live, but after all home is home. Happy Lotting

I do not know whether you are from India. I am. I feel criticism is necessary for everything to run smoothly, Whether it be an organization or one's country. When you criticize your country you actually criticise the people who run it and God knows Indian politicians do deserve a lot of criticism.The way this country is being run could do with a lot of improvement. Greater good of the masses should be at the heart of each politician rather than individual or residual gains for the community, area he represents. This getting above cast and creed is of utmost importance.In spite of all this I am proud of my country for I still believe the majority of this huge population of ours is still good to their neighbours and feel for each other.

I believe we need to respect the country we belong to and pride ourselves of being a citizin of that country. Every country on this planet have there pros and cons. Nothing is completely perfect. It is we who have to take it to ourselves to make our place the perfect place. We need to be happy about who we are and who we represent, do our best for the development of our society or our country. And not just our country but we need to respect people from every country . We are all humans , so I think we all should respect Humanity. We should promote our country and culture to other countries. I surely am Proud of who I am and where I am from. Cheers to All. Take Care folks.
