Citizenship: Duties and Responsibilities In order for government to be effective, citizens are also expected to fulfill certain civic duties. A duty is an obligation or action that is required by law. Some of these duties include obeying laws, paying taxes, serving in the armed forces if called, or drafted, and serving on a jury or as a witness in court if summoned. Citizens who choose not to fulfill these duties can face legal consequences. In addition to fulfilling their civic duties, good citizens are expected to carry out basic responsibilities that contribute to the common good. Some of these responsibilities can include keeping informed on current issues that affect their community, state and nation; registering and voting in elections; participating in political campaigns; and running for and holding public office. Citizens can also influence their government by communicating with government officials and by serving in voluntary or appointed positions. Some examples of appointed positions include city managers and planning commissioners. Good citizens also respect the rights of other citizens to have an equal voice in their government. Governments are most effective when their citizens are active and responsible. Citizens who perform their civic or public duties and responsibilities meet the needs of their community and serve the public good. A Good Citizen is Good citizenship means to effectively and thoughtfully participate in the community, or civic life. Community service involves doing something voluntarily, or willingly, for the benefit of a community. Citizens can volunteer to support democratic institutions such as the League of Women Voters and America Voters. They can help make their community a better place to work and live by becoming involved in service organizations such as the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, tutoring at local schools, and volunteering at nursing homes and hospitals. In addition, good citizens express their concerns about the welfare of their communities in the areas of education, the environment, public health, and safety. How do good citizens participate thoughtfully and effectively in civic life? Their participation depends on certain personal character traits. Good citizens are trustworthy and honest. They do not engage in acts such as stealing, cheating, or lying. They try hard to do what is right and good. Good citizens are also courteous and show respect for the rights of others. This means they are polite, well-mannered, and are thoughtful about the rights of others. In addition, good citizens are responsible, accountable, and self-reliant. As a result, they do what they say they will do, accept responsibility for their own actions, and are able to depend on their own abilities and decisions. Good citizens also respect the law. They obey the laws of their community, state, and nation and model that behavior in all situations. Patriotism is another character trait of a good citizen. Patriotic citizens love and support their country. They are willing to serve and sacrifice when necessary. Good citizens also practice decision making by participating in elections as informed voters. Participating in school and/or in the community through service or by volunteering are also traits of good citizens. 11.
