I know my country is great because all the people smile even though they have so much to bear, they never forget that there's always something to smile about and that misfortunes are just temporary. so why is your country great? don't trash other countries okay! I'm just asking for things that make you proud to be a citizen of your country.

No, no, I will not trash other countries. As I was saying to one of my friends recently, each country is unique in it's own ways, and has the culture and tradition people living in the country should be proud of. East and West, South and North, wonderful in different ways. I have had the opportunity to travel to a number of countries, and I admire them !

Thanks for the response... though I wasn't implying the trashing of other countries, it's just a question about patriotism :D

Various reasons have been given as to why Britain is great; the English language, our legal and political system that became a model for so many countries, the improvements in agriculture, horticulture, engineering that we gave the world and of course more recently the invention of the world wide web. People have called Britain great for its empire, the largest the world has ever seen, covering one quarter of land surface of the world and including one quarter of the world population. But there are two better reasons to consider Britain great. The abolition of the slave trade Those brave young heros of the labour movement that one improved working conditions for workers in Britain and led to improved working conditions in much of the world, at great personal cost, enduring pain, hardship and even murder to achieve their end. all the best urban

My country has some stunning looking countryside and lots of old building of architectural value. It has a rich history. It has many special sights in its capital city which is called London. Tourists can see the River Thames, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. I am keen on traveling to different countries.

My country is great because it has very old and rich culture. People here are very kind, they treat guests as god. The number system which is used in the whole world today was invented in my country. Zero('0') was invented in my country. The first plastic surgery was carried out in India some 4000 years ago. We have third largest army in the world, we are nuclear power. India is rapidly developing in the field of software. Recently we sent unnamed lunar probe on moon. There are also negative things of my country such as population explosion, corruption etc. Everyone is proud of their own country. Your country is also great.
