A
citizen has a variety of roles. In choosing to be a citizen of a country, one
accepts the role the government feels is appropriate for a citizen to be in.
For instance, I believe a citizen should be respectful of the laws put in place
by the legislative government. Citizens do not necessarily have to agree with the
laws, but they should respect them none the less. If citizens are not satisfied
with the laws in place, they should peacefully protest, to let the government
know they should be changed. Citizens should use their right to protest, as
long as they don’t hurt anyone.
Citizens should also be aware of the laws and political
actions that are being made on their behalf, and be active in politics of the
nation, whether it is by voting or running as a politician.
Citizens should always look for ways to positively impact the world around
them, whether it is by supporting charities, volunteering their time, or any
other activity that enhances the quality of life of others. Citizens should be
always searching for a way to help those who are not in a position to help
themselves.
The ideal citizen would respect others and their property, and
accept other viewpoints that differ from their own. Citizens should embrace
diversity, and realize that diversity is what strengthens a nation.
