    S3E14 - Table Talk on What it Means to be Patriotic
    Jul 7 2025
    If you are a listener from the United States, how patriotic do you feel at this time? Did you celebrate the 4th of July with enthusiasm and gusto or with an eye roll and a mumbled “Meh!”? In this conversation, we reflect on the significance of the 4th of July and explore the concept of patriotism. We discuss personal experiences related to Independence Day, the meaning of patriotism in contemporary society, and the importance of acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects of American history. We emphasize the need for critical assessment of national pride and the role of civil discourse in creating a more inclusive understanding of patriotism.Take Our Patriotic Survey:We’d like to know how you spent your 4th of July this year and what it means to you to be patriotic, now that you know our answers to these.
