Мова, патріотизм і національна ідея

Abstract

The purpose of scientific work is to confirm the thesis that it is the patriotism and national-linguistic consciousness of Ukrainians, as its integral component, that will help to realize the national idea, will form stable immunity from «old and new diseases» of our society, and will testify to the nation’s spiritual maturity. Conclusions. Patriotism is a reliable immunity from the root causes (patience, lethargy, indecision, etc.) of all problems of Ukrainians. It must be brought up, starting with the family, preschool institutions and ending with universities, where care must be taken to fill the educational process with patriotic content, first of all to instill in the young generation love and respect for the native language as the basis of national culture and state-building. After all, to restore the borders and post-war reconstruction of the Ukrainian state, to establish its identity in the geopolitical dimension, true patriots are needed who are ready to take care of its image, work for its benefit, prosperity and development even in temporarily unfavorable conditions.
