What do national symbols like the flag or anthem mean to you, and how do they shape your identity?

I don't really have much of an opinion on this topic.

Patriotisms is defined by how we view these symbols and rituals. The last country to force school children to recite their national anthem everyday was Nazi Germany in order to instill moral ties to the country. Also the USA flag is flown everywhere so when a person looks around them in the world to shape their identity they will see and be influenced by the USA flag.
