Since the beginning of time, patriotism has been the cause of
disputes and disagreements among people, young and old. Many
battles have been fought, some successfully won and oftentimes
lost. During those times, people show their love for country the
only way they know how. And that is, through arms and weapons
and destruction. There was always the possibility of gaining all
and losing everything. That was what they had to go through for
the sake of patriotism.

Then came the time when weapons were drawn to be by the pen.
Writers now secretly attack enemies through prints, making it
known what they are against and what they are after. Writing
became a powerful instrument in the beginnings of revolts among
countrymen. What cannot be won in struggles can now be won in
writing. But those that still cannot is still turning to
battles. Writing only served as the medium, it triggers the
feelings that are well kept and needed to let out.

As time goes by, battles became less frequent. Peace somehow
settled and people attained the freedom that took centuries to
come. Freedom of speech and expression followed and these
continue on until today…

Today, patriotism has been the favorite topics of movies and
books. Not only that, it has also been favorites of printing
companies. Whether political or commercial, it serves its
purpose of targeting the emotions that have originated from the
deep roots of the past. Reading and studying through patriotism
by heroes from by way when serve as pastimes and sources of
educational knowledge for the people of today.

Written materials have been preserved and passed on from
generations to tell the account of the past that people have
forgotten. It serves either as leisure or educational reading to
most people. Paintings that revered patriotism have been done by
many artists, famous and infamous alike. They are either
depicted in one or two colors that depict its simplicity at the
same time, the bleak reality of what the world used to be. With
the creation of more colors, these paintings were given the life
and dramatic effect that made the images come to life. Paintings
were seen in a new perspective when it was adapted not only in
posters, but in clothes, trucks, billboards and any material
that can be printed on. Next came, digitally enhanced films that
gave filmmaking a new life. Pictures were enhanced to produce
striking images that produces deep awakenings to a person.
Adapting the concept of patriotism on the internet became the
“in” thing. Companies took it into their logo designs, dramatic
captions and related it into the contents. As was in the past,
patriotism tends to stir something in the deepest emotion of the
people.

What better way to make people sit back and take it all in than
have their past relived before their very eyes? Because bringing
patriotism into prints not only refreshes ones legacy, it also
makes questions of the future easy to fathom.
