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 …show more content…
Self-defining citizen-system development eliminates the misidentification of “programming” which directly minimizes and marginalizes the citizen-system empowering abilities, its influence, and hampers the process of developing new, innovative, citizen-sector empowerment. Under citizen-system development and strategies, no citizen; even the developers are more important than the system. The system reflects “collective strengths...” never individual …show more content…
There’s something for every citizen to do in the system and if necessary, expand the system to incorporate new discovered talents of the citizen, or have in-place, citizen-system training, development and citizen career volunteer educational and field rewards and benefits. In short it is not complicated, if Miss Jones, doesn’t speak-well, has no education and needs a ride everywhere she may go, if she can cook, clean, watch-children, or stand guard on a door; providing security, the system must provide and reward her for her volunteer services and commitment. Another example would be, citizen-system development could effectively incorporate the known criminal (thugs) element, by providing citizen-system-designed, emergency-related citizen training to incorporate the element and proactively mitigate the possibly of cultural citizen chaos in the event of disaster or emergencies when the element may become a direct threat to the neighborhoods or citizens. As a “component” to a “citizen-system,” the destructive elements within and throughout cultural neighborhoods, now is directly connected to a “duty and responsibility,” are immediately exposed to new, opportunities to link within both the public and private-sectors, to learn and grow in an industry which may have been exclusive to them without active participation in the citizen-system
One way to ensure a civically engaged population is to nurture and promote amongst youth and teenagers the value of participating in one’s community, with the hope that involvement will continue into adulthood. Most school districts in Arizona do not require students to volunteer as a graduation requirement. Those that do, necessitate a number of hours to be completed and logged individually; for example, Deer Valley Unified School District in Maricopa County requires eight hours of volunteering during a student’s senior year. Of course any opportunity for one to help society should be applauded – however, this particular process negates cooperative long-term attachment to a beneficial project and does not incorporate knowledge learned in class, or apply meaning in a real-life context. The implementation of Service-learning programs into public school curriculum would uphold useful skills associated with community involvement and citizenship, as well as address problems in real settings rather than do repetitious tasks in seclusion.

Since I am a minority I was already a bit accustomed with the inequalities or wrongdoings that occur to those of a minority group. Before reading this book I used to think that those who commit crime or engage in delinquent behavior are considered “lazy people” or people who just want “the easy way out;” or maybe they just weren’t trying hard enough to attain that “American Dream”. After reading Victor Rios’s book I realized how much the system has an impact on your future depending on where you come from. Right in the beginning Victor Rios mentions the “youth control complex.” The youth control complex is this idea that the system criminalizes young people for acting in everyday behaviors. (2011; pg.xiv). They are criminalized through schools, families, police officers, probation officers, community centers, the media, businesses, and other institutions. (2011; pg.xiv). These institutions are supposed to be
A. According to the Bureau of Education (1918), Civic education should develop in the individual those qualities whereby he will act well his part as a member of neighborhood, town or city, state, and nation, and give himself a basis for understanding international problems” (p.13).
(3) It is important that the police have the cooperation of the public’s involuntary observance of the law to also be able to maintain the respect of the public. This is an important principle because the police need the public to obey the laws and respect what the police are doing. Also, the police need to respect the community because they need to work closely together to solve community issues. (4) Security diminishes when the police officer has to use force. This also goes along with John Thompson theory that when ego goes up safety and security goes down.

This paper will discuss the dynamics of the American Red Cross case and how it affected the ability to provide adequate emergency response to catastrophic events. Over 10 years, the American Red Cross has been implementing strategies to ensure that the organization is better equipped when dealing with disasters. Not only has the American Red Cross has been faced with so much negativity, the organization is fighting very hard to change the concepts of how the organization can rebound from such criticism.
Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster that impacted many lives along the Gulf Coast in 2005. The damage that was caused would take years to recover from and the lives that were lost still affect the US today. The Louisiana superdome was one infrastructure in New Orleans that was affected the most, because of the inadequate planning of the city on how to handle an emergency situation. The Louisiana superdome is an excellent example of how important crisis intervention is and how proper emergency response, cultural considerations and ecosystems theory all play a role in recovering from and learning from a crisis. The understanding of these concepts assist in the ever growing knowledge base of crisis intervention, which will ultimately save
...cts are unknown. Preliminary data indicates the Youth Advisory Council model, one example of the community problem-solving approach, may be a promising avenue for engaging young people. Additional longitudinal research in coming years will be crucial in developing more definitive conclusions. Anecdotally, many students find great value in the program, indicating it develops leadership skills and provides motivation for further community participation. The participants are not the only beneficiaries, however. Through thorough planning and thoughtful implementation, the sponsoring agency and broader community gain significantly from such a process. Involving young people in addressing community problems at the local level can infuse new life into agencies and communities, while helping to prepare young people to become active, engaged citizens in our democracy.
Individuals will even now react to crises and different calls. On the other hand, numerous calls to the police are not police related and are all the more adequately taken care of by different offices. As the quantity of these non-crisis calls diminished, officers have the capacity invest more of a chance working with residents to tackle criminal acts and issue issues (San Diego PD). With better police-subject correspondence, officers can all the more viably utilize and offer data with general society, Officers who know both a community's issues and its occupants can connection individuals with other open and private organizations that can help unravel community concerns. No single org can take care of complex social issues
Conversely, police officers may suggest that there are citizens that don’t do their part to make their neighborhoods safe, which takes us back to Sir Robert Peel. Unfortunately, when the police try to empower people to be accountable, and to do their part, the interpretation is that the police are avoiding their responsibility. In any case, understanding there is work to be done by both, the police and citizens is the first step. Now, implementing the processes to make the corrections needed is merely a start.
The concept of citizenship traditionally has two meanings: it both implies legal relationships between a person and a country, thus being close to nationality, and defines a normative ideal of the association with a political community and an active participation in it; while analyzing the attributes of ‘a good citizen’, we mostly deal with the latter. Though it is democracy that enables us to fully exploit the capacities of our citizenship by giving us civil, political and social rights, it itself requires responsible citizens for proper functioning of its institutions. However, more and more people these days prefer to abstain from public life and to pursue private interests, and with the growth of passive citizenship, it is worth asking: what does constitute a good citizen? I believe that a good citizen is a person who never makes a choice between private interests and public activities, but the one whose life is balanced between those two, the one who needs to step outside the close circle to fulfill his life-mission, to realize his potential.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss potential disasters that could affect a community and cause mass casualties. Further discussion will include who is responsible for the management preparedness, what barriers must be considered and finally this paper will discuss the health care facilities role in emergency supplies and care of the patient in a disaster situation. The Community Communities throughout the country and the world are susceptible to disasters. The environment and location of a community often predisposes a greater susceptibility to the type of disaster. For example, Central Pennsylvania would not be susceptible to an avalanche, however, communities in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado would have increased vulnerability.
Specifically, volunteering brings in revenue from nonprofits and “free” work. In fact, in 2009 an estimated value of $169 billion dollars was contributed to America in volunteer participation (Corporation for National and Community Service). Volunteers bring an unexpected abundance of revenue that appears in unpaid work. In addition, it enhances communication within a society. Significantly, volunteering provides insight from first hand experiences for the community’s wants and needs and if these wants and needs are being met by volunteers communicating their volunteer experiences (Young). When there is better communication within a community it is easier to understand what the wants and needs are for a society to better function. Finally, it provides services in many different forms. For instance, in a local sense volunteers can benefit many sectors such as public works and transportation; public safety, health, and human services; parks and recreation; and support functions (Young). Like stated above, it is evident that there are many different types of volunteer jobs that can be done and anyone can help by using their personal strengths to better the community. Overall, there are many economic benefits that are brought to a community that essentially leads to a safer
The role of the citizen is a role with many parts that make up one model character. A good citizen must remain loyal to its country and respect all laws laid down by its government. They also work to improve their communities and stay up-to-date on all the goings-on. But what is a citizen? What makes someone a citizen? When you are a citizen, how do you be a good one? All of those questions and more are answered in this dissertation.
