The consequence of this study shows that the recklessness of patriotism significantly affects the younger age both in terms of behavior and thinking. The community must play an active role because there are so many young people who do not reflect their love for the motherland and for Indonesia, for example, they do not use Indonesian properly and correctly, and like to use foreign goods.
