The Results and Review My results fall towards mostly Bs. Per the information “You are being pulled in every direction by those who place demands on your time and efforts. If it isn’t one thing, it’s another. But this could actually mean that volunteering could be your chance to make some time for yourself. Although volunteering is, by its nature, about giving time to others, it can also be the perfect chance to recoup some time especially for you. You can hear children read at a primary school or spend time with elderly people who have no relatives. Both will prove to be both enjoyable and a relaxing use of your time – and a chance to get away from the people who think they have a right to place demands on you.” (Joanne Walker BA, 2010) …show more content…
For me a responsible citizen is first to start with one’s actions, one that comply with the law, that stand up and fight when injustice happens, staying inform as well as educating others as such that they can become inform and act for the well of the community. It’s also, one that commit to his/her community to make the different by contributing hours of volunteer work, and this one doesn’t have to be something huge as expending too many hours, expending a lot of money but at least some time contributing to the need of the …show more content…
One like the old me would go as far as agreeing with Mark Twain quote, “If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.” Well, big changes in our society didn’t happen in one day, neither winning one battle, but with a lot of sacrifice, commitment, battles and of course mistake that along the way were corrected. Similar is the political process that evolve with society and can only change for the better when we as citizens assume our responsibility with ourselves, our families, our neighborhoods, our nation and then with the world. It starts as simple as me acting responsibly and doing my part, then collaborating toward goals that affect those around me and or my nation or the world. With that been said is our responsibility to know the importance and the impact my inactivity or activity can cause to a
In the summer of 2013 at a family barbeque I nonchalantly asked my aunt if there was any way I could volunteer at her job, an intercity Salvation Army Core, throughout the week. Asking this simple question that I initially didn’t put much consideration into, steered to far more than I could had ever anticipate. I projected what my experience would be like at the core playing out different scenarios in my head. I expected it to be similar to every other volunteer experience I had, simply assist the employees and perchance meet a few people along the way. I thought I would be working in a back pantry categorizing and bundling foods into care packages having minimal encounters.
On the other hand, voting is a very easy but important responsibility. It is you responsibility to vote because
“ Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people and the only way they could do this is by not voting. ”Franklin D. Roosevelt. You have not only a right to vote but a responsibility to vote . So whether you support Trump or Hillary during this election or you think both of them are terrible candidates (like me) you still need to get out and vote. Your vote can change the legacy of this nation for future generations to see.
For instance our local government decides new laws that will be passed for our towns, the places we can live, and the places we can walk, and even things like businesses that are able to be open or need to be torn down. We may not think so but our votes are also important in the state and national elections as well. These are the people we will be depending on for the next term and the individuals we will have to look up to whether we like to or not. These are the people who budget our money and the individuals we are trusting. It is very important for us to go out and vote, it impacts us as an individual.
All american citizens are raised with the knowledge that they are required to participate in the governance of their nation. This is, perhaps, at odds with the execution of that participation. One of the issues with most individuals growing up in our society is one of agency. Many young people are told they are not ready to make decisions for themselves. That they lack experience and knowledge.
The Constitution, signed on September 17th, 1787, is a document that formulated the government, and gave basic rights to all U.S citizens. The U.S. Constitution is the solid foundation upon which this nation was built. It is a document that can be altered and among the first changes is a list of the rights of the people. This important document gives many rights to both citizens and noncitizens living in the United States. However, some rights are only for citizens.
Throughout the recent years the majority of the able voting population are exercising their privilege to vote. Even during the presidential elections the voter turnout rate was 50% or less than that. The act of voting should be a personal responsibility of every citizen meaning it should be a obligation. But to specify on this statement, it should not lawfully required to vote because people also have the right not to vote too (and it would be weakening personal liberties) , but it should be a personal responsibility for citizens if they are to complain about how the government run rather than every citizen. A personal responsibility is when we are the cause of our own actions.
Finally, I will continue to volunteer because of it give and what you get out of it. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I came out felling really well. What I got of volunteer over and over is that giving your time and self-back to other, I will be able to bring the experience in my career and help me with college internship or
