After 9.11 flags sprouted up all over the country and many politicians and public figures began to wear them on their lapels. It cannot be said that Americans were less patriotic before 9.11 since in every survey taken on the topic of patriotism for the last two decades Americans scored the highest out of every nation. The most logical explanation for the increase in presence of the flag would stem not from an increase in patriotism rather it flows from a greater desire to DISPLAY patriotism.
