State security and patriotism vs the implementation of obligations and prohibitions related to covid-19

Summary/Abstract: ObjectivesIdentify the links between state security and patriotism and the implementation of covid-19 orders and prohibitionsMaterial and methodsliterature analysis non-standard observation analysis and logical constructionResultsIt should be accentuated that patriotism requires different attitudes and behaviours in times of war, and different ones – in times of peace. Today, its manifestations are concern for the political fate of the homeland, respect for the law, and the Polish Constitution, but also concern for the good of the local community, for the family, respect for private and social property and the natural environment, diligent performance of duties in the workplace, fair payment of taxes regardless of financial status, placing the common good over one’s own, and caring for the good image of the country.ConclusionsSecurity is a multi-faceted, ambiguous and very dynamic concept, in particular nowadays, in the light of a rapidly and constantly changing world and our approach to it. The author points out that one of the most major categories of security is state security, which until recently was essentially associated with external threats. Presently, the notions of state security and national security are inextricably bound with the notion of patriotism. And when properly understood, patriotism is a pillar of state or national security. Nowadays, patriotism is no longer a combat with the occupant, it is also not a fight with one’s own state; it is concern for national security and the state. It is working in harmony and with respect for the law, for the sake of one’s own homeland and fellow citizens.
