Reflect on and respond to the question: Would you die for your country? Why or why not? In what circumstances? Which country? (Some of you have lived in countries other than
Canada) Explain your answer completely.

Yes, I am ready to die for my country if it is for a right cause.

Explanation:

Yes, I am ready to die for my country if it is for a right cause. For instance, if we are being attacked by an enemy or if we are being called for a sui cide/risky mission like vaccination trial, exploration, saving lives missions, etc, which all in return would save the lives of our fellow citizens, I am ready to die for my country.

My country is Canada and it has always given me a sense of pride and patriotism. Canda has done so much for its citizens for hundreds of years and still continues to do so. Therefore, if there comes a time to give up my life for the right cause of our country and if it means that my family, friends and fellow citizens would be safe, I would gladly do it.
