Bridging the past and the future
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.
