My citizenship project is in the form of a recipe for the perfect pie. My citizenship pie holds the information about the recipe to become the best citizen you can be. The first piece of my project were the ingredients of my pie. I chose to use freedom, rights, voting, liberty, free speech, rights to bear arms, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of assembly. I chose these because in the passage The pale king, David Foster Wallace said, “We think of ourselves as citizens when it comes to our rights and privileges, but not our responsibilities.”. I put civic responsibilities in my ingredients because if you do some or all of these, it will make you a great citizen. I also put a few optional things in my ingredients such as …show more content…
I made sure there was the right amount of each ingredient in the pie. There were 2 cups for freedom of religion because it is our right as an American Citizen to practice our religion as we please. I put 1 ½ cup of voting because in class we discussed how important it is to choose who we want to represent our country. We also talked about how many people choose not to vote. Not voting is a statement, and as an American, they can not force our country full of freedoms that many others don’t have to get fined or jailed for not voting. The Expiration date on my pie represents social capital and how it has changed through the years. In the hand out 150 things, it lists 150 things that you can do to lift your social capital and things that people used to do. I only circled 28 of the 150 which leaves me at a small 18% social capital out of the sheet. I wrote how some of these things on the sheet were outdated and how technology advances our society and new ways we can lift our social capital by using this new technology. As our world advances, there will be a need for more ways to lift our social capital. The nutrition facts on my sheet help show how you can do your civic
Citizenship is the fiber that unites all Americans. We are a nation connected not by race or religion, but by shared values of freedom, liberty, and equality. What does that exactly signify to the average American citizen? It indicates that several of us, including myself, have not only expressed several of our rights such as freedom to express ourselves, freedom to worship as we wish, voting in elections, serving on a jury or purchasing or owning a firearm but we aspire to protect those rights.
4 These consist of Freedom to express yourself, freedom to worship as you wish, right to a prompt, fair trial by jury, right to vote in elections for public officials, right to apply for federal employment requiring U.S. 6 citizenship, and the right to run for elected office, freedom to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Responsibilities are what is expected by the government from the people. 7 These consist of Support and defend the Constitution. 4 Stay informed of the issues affecting your community, participate in the democratic process, respect and obey federal, state, and local laws, respect the rights, beliefs, and opinions of others, participate in your local community, pay income and other taxes honestly, and on time, to federal, state, and local authorities, serve on a jury when called upon, and defend the country if the need should
Marshall, is still active within society. The key to full citizenship is that in order to engage in positive cultural, political and civic citizenship, it is to be understood that all are linked to social citizenship. The three social policies implemented by the government are for the benefit of the citizens, and also led to major changes from the government to support permanent change. In conclusion, social citizenship is still an impactful part of the way citizens are formed, because unhealthy culture and communities develop unfit citizens within a society who will deal with a difficult time of finding their place in a changing
A Path to Citizenship “What makes someone American isn’t just blood or birth but allegiance to our founding principles and faith in the idea that anyone from anywhere can write the next chapter of our story.” - President Barack Obama. The United States is the melting pot of the world. The great American country was built on immigration. Look around, so many people have ancestors that risked everything to come to the United States to make something of their lives, and the lives of their children.
Good Citizenship is something that is valued by a country. Although not normally noticed or recognized, good citizenship can come in many forms and can be very beneficial to a specified area. Good Citizenship could mean many different things but ultimately good citizenship promotes prosperity, and increases the well-being of said region. In this country we do have government officials, but they only can do so much, and reach so far, in this country you need to focus on "...Not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" (Kennedy). This means pulling your own weight and not relying solely on these officials and their policies, to get out and try to make this country the best it can be. Which is why through the use of the educatory school system in the United States and through obeying laws of their city/state or nation, and also through the practice of Volunteer work/charity the average American citizen can become above-average and awesome (in every sense of the word) and can also develop into a righteous, upstanding, convivial citizen.
Citizens had a very significant job to fill, so diligent workers should have been participants. Athens was smart, but Rome had a slightly different approach. Around 500 BCE, two strong states created forms of citizenship. While Athens had no care whether a citizen was an elite or not, Rome focused on class and physique, all prime values. Citizenship will always be an important way to show status, and both Athens and Rome showed strong points. Athens had a better system of citizenship because all classes above slaves could become citizens, ostracism got rid of a potential over-thrower, and everything was decided by-lot.
Citizenship is something that largely defines many of us. Our citizenship comes with a community, a group of people and land to which we belong, as well as a sense of pride. Citizens of a community must coexist and cooperate with one another for the community to thrive and prosper. The idea of individuals within a community forming a mutual trust and respect for one another, is a concept Danielle Allen introduces as “political friendship.” Political friendship extends beyond the immediate reaches of one’s community, but to strangers entering one’s own community, or to those of another community with which you seek to enter. It is not friendship in the sense that a bond is formed or that there is deep rooted affection present, but rather one
The task of defining citizenship is a difficult endeavor which takes much thought and careful examination in order to make sense of what constitutes the ideals of citizenship. Citizens are individuals who have a legal status within the state. Unfortunately it would take an amendment actually the repealing of an amendment to end birthright citizenships. To do that will take years, if not decades. So it can be done, but it won 't fix the short term problem. What the US needs to do is to secure borders to stop mothers from coming into another country illegally and having their baby because as soonest they do they become American citizen and they cannot be denied any government benefits. It is completely different when a person does come here legally
The country of Canada is known for its celebration of diverse population and multiculturalism. For years foreigners have been immigrating to Canada to find better opportunities for themselves and their families. Citizenship offers protection of human rights and freedoms including mobility and equality among others, under the Charter. (Canadian Charter, 1982, s 6(2)(b)) The status of Canadian citizenship first started with the official Citizen Act in 1947, which distinguished Canada from other parts of the British Commonwealth. “Before 1947, residents of Britain, Australia, and New Zealand could without limitation immigrate to Canada whenever they chose … Canadians had the same rights to move to those countries and exercise political rights” (Dickerson, Flanagan & O'Neill, 2009). As the country has become more developed, the state of immigration has changed with it. The process of obtaining legal citizenship today is varied according to the applicants’ circumstances. The current state of immigration into Canada is shaped by these paths to citizenship.

Citizenship, a virtue that many humans have, however not every person has the qualities that further them as a citizen within today’s society. I display citizenship by participating in a number of
To truly understand why women or why some women continue to accept their second class citizenship status to men, one must become aware of the lived experiences of these women. As Patti Lather suggests, people must be the narrators of their own stories (Critical inquiry in qualitative research: Feminist and poststructural perspectives: Science “after truth”). Until we become aware of these perceived “second class” citizens’ stories, we are only left to postulate based on our own experiences.
5. The Most Visionary Cultural Citizens Must Be Called-Out, For Direct Cultural Purposes Those who are selected by their peers directly and immediately become the initial pool of potential cultural leaders. This process is not automatic (a person is not a leader simply because they or someone else thinks they are), understanding a new process of Citizen-Emergency System Development (CESD), would allow the visionary leader, or Pastor to gain knowledge of where to steer cultural citizen’s talents, skills, experience and commitments and ultimately discover the benefits to that citizen that will maximize the participants participation, motivation and service, in the citizen emergency-system infrastructure
Theater 180 addressed the quest question of how do people understand and engage in community life? Through this class I’ve gained a better understanding of what civic engagement is. At the start of this semester I had very minimal knowledge about civic engagement. As far as I knew civic engagement was just volunteering but nothing much beyond that. With this class I have learned that civic engagement is much more than just volunteer work.
In the first place, citizenship is defined by the particular attitude towards the political process. Since ancient times, it was generally accepted that political involvement was a valuable part of one’s life; to exemplify, in 335 B. C. Aristotle wrote that ‘man by nature is a political animal’. Some modern thinkers hold the same opinion: “…political participation is the highest form of human living-together [Adrian Oldfields, 1990]”. What are the implications? Personally, I think that being a good citizen starts with the knowledge of the laws, the assent and the complete submission to them....
