Patriotism among Slovenian youth : empirical research

Kukovič, Simona (author)

Research in Slovenia shows a low level of expression of patriotism amongyoung people, which points to the fact that we are unable to express this value because we are not convinced of its quality and necessity. The belief that we will love and respectour homeland, which has also been a state since 1991, is based on completely false assumptions. Those who were emotionally present at the founding of our country naturally have a keener sense of patriotism, but the younger generations see the emergence of an independent and sovereign Slovenia as a historical fact, and therefore without any emotional overtones. Therefore, the results on the poor knowledge of the facts related to the establishment of an independent and sovereign Slovenian state, analysed in this article, are not really surprising.
