Cosmopolitanism is an ideology that views all humans as citizens of the world and prioritizes humanity's interests over individual nations. Cosmopolitans do not seek to control others or impose their views. Patriotism is a moral principle involving love of one's country and willingness to prioritize its interests over private interests. Patriotism can take the form of loyalty to ancient city-states, empires, ethnic groups, modern states, or an exaggerated love of state known as jingoism.
