THE IMPORTANCE OF FOSTERING PATRIOTISM IN FAMILY AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Patriotism is one of the fundamental spiritual and moral values that form the basis of a healthy society and the stability of a nation. The upbringing of a patriotic generation is the most important task of every country striving for progress and development. It is through patriotism that the feeling of responsibility towards society, national pride, respect for the history and values of the homeland, as well as high civic consciousness, are instilled in the hearts of the younger generation. In this context, the role of the family and educational institutions in shaping patriotic feelings can hardly be overestimated. These two primary socialization agents provide the main environment, experience, and value base necessary for the comprehensive development of individuals and the upbringing of true citizens who cherish their country.
