Kultur 9

For this Kulter 9, I read the article on Germany's Patriotism Problem: Just Don't Fly the Flag.  I found it interesting because it reminded me of the Soccer Championship that Germany won a few years ago.  When I visited Germany for the soccer tournament, it was amazing seeing how excited Germany was for their team.  Once they won, everyone in Munich was waving flags all over the city.  Only after the celebration did some Germans become concerned about their excitement.  Other nations in Europe were worried when Germany gained excitement after the tournament because they had not seen that amount of patriotism since World War II.  It is unbelievable to think about a historical event that happened seventy years ago effecting the actions of German society to this day.  Maybe one day we will see German flags wave outside German residences.
