1 USA
American primary and secondary schools generally offer civic education courses. Civic education is to cultivate young people with attitudes and beliefs that meet the requirements of the social and political system, and to establish the idea that "we are American citizens"-what the United States calls political socialization. The educational goal of American primary and secondary schools is to cultivate students into "responsible citizens", that is, citizens with patriotic spirit who can fulfill their responsibilities and obligations to the country. Paying attention to osmosis is a major feature of American patriotism education.
Kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools and universities in the United States are all talking about how to love the national flag. They believe that loving the national flag is an important part of students' patriotism education. You should know the composition of the stars and stripes from an early age. Therefore, even a three-year-old child knows that Washington is the "father of America" and knows the Civil War. In order to make all children love their motherland, when the school held the flag-raising ceremony, the students put their hands on their chests and solemnly swore: "I am loyal to the national flag and the United States of America." Students are taught from the first day of primary school to love the country, the national flag and the national anthem. Therefore, Americans believe that the national flag symbolizes the country, and there are national flags everywhere to have countries everywhere; Always see the national flag, you can always think about the country. The national flag is hung on the building and printed on the clothes. Looking up and down, we can see the national image and produce the national concept, and patriotism is subtly engraved in the hearts of every citizen.

His masterpiece Divine Comedy has been designated as a compulsory course for all kinds of middle school students. Despite a considerable amount of national debt and fiscal deficit, the Italian government would rather tighten spending elsewhere and invest more in promoting traditional culture. Most museums of archaeology, art and folklore are open to young students under the age of 18 free of charge all year round.
In order to protect and develop traditional Chinese opera, a quintessential art, the government has also provided long-term financial subsidies to the thirteen major opera houses. Every July and August, outdoor theaters all over the country will hold classical opera performances, and major festivals are often accompanied by opera performances. Although Italy has also been impacted by colorful modern art, opera has always occupied a lofty position among the people. Every year, colorful traditional cultural activities are held in various places, and the folk customs, national spirit and feelings of patriotism and love for the hometown can be passed down for a long time. Historical heritages such as the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the ancient city of Pompeii are strictly protected, and every Italian can appreciate his national spirit from the historical sites and the breath of ancient Rome and Renaissance.

A busy commercial street in Copenhagen, named "Andersen Street", stands a four-meter-high bronze statue of Andersen. The house where Andersen lived, despite more than 200 years of ups and downs, is still well preserved.

Singapore
Singapore attaches great importance to cultivating the national consciousness of the younger generation. Pupils receive the education of raising the national flag every day, so that young minds can gradually establish a sense of sacredness, pride and responsibility for the national flag and the country, as well as the spirit of sacrifice for the honor and dignity of the national flag and the country. In order to strengthen the national consciousness education for young students, the government also implements the national military service system.

Singaporeans dare to face and overcome difficulties, and generally have a sense of sacredness and dedication to national security.
