A HUG IS NEARLY A GUN SPELLED BACKWARD

“Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.” Ben Stein. I personally agree with E.M. Forster’s idea that states personal relationships more important than causes or patriotism. Applying the importance of personal relations can prevent cultural or racial division and remedy the lack of cooperation between people to have an advancement to either already great ideas or the resolution of issues. These are just some of many that support the decision of making personal relations more significant than patriotism or causes. One reason why personal relationships are more important than causes or patriotism is that personal relationships can impede racial and cultural division. For example, when i went to a cultural festival at my church no one was patriotic about culture which helped everyone, including myself, learn and enjoy other cultures. Although patriotism can be great when it comes to loving and learning where you came from it can pass a certain breadth which leads to ignorance and racism. Certainly this is just one of many examples of why personal relationships are more important than patriotism. In addition to proving that personal relationships are more important than patriotism is that personal relationships help us cooperate to make ideas better or resolve issues. This is true, because when we bring two or more perspectives we have new ways of approaching the issue or idea. It might be true that patriotism can give us confidence in what we believe in, but arrogance can subside that pride. In conclusion, E.M. Forster stating that personal relationships are more important than patriotism is something i strongly agree with. I acknowledge that personal relationships are more important, because it helps is improve and brings cultures closer to one another. Is your loyalty to your friend more important than your loyalty to your country, race, culture, or ethnicity? I'm really sorry if this makes no sense.
