Patriotism Vs Humanity..

So what is patriotism? Why be patriotic? Is it necessary? Is it good? Does patriotism stand against humanity?

If there were 100 people from your nation dying, and 101 from another, and suppose you had the option to save only one bunch, whom would you save? The 100 from your country, or the 101 from some other? What does patriotism say? What does humanity say? If you chose to save the 101, are you not patriotic? If you chose the 100, is that an act of humanity?

For that matter, had it even been 100 and 100, what would you have done?
