Responsibilities of Citizens

All people are the citizens of their country and they acquire citizenship of their countries from the beginning of birth. In my point of view, citizenship is a status of group of people who live in a society and share same traditional values and rights. People around us are citizens of their country, so they should be aware of duties of citizenship in their country and follow them. Being a good citizen requires a lot of responsibilities toward the state, therefore good citizens should live and create for the welfare of their country and sacrifice everything for its future. While citizens have duties and responsibilities regarding obeying rules such as paying taxes, respecting law and voting, the military service created a question mark on minds, whether it should be done or not. I think the first and the most important responsibility is obeying law because of some remarkable reasons that I would like to mention.

Firstly, obeying law is the duty of people and they must not break rules which is considered as the violation of the law. Laws are concerned with foundation of social order and preserving the society as a whole, so obeying rules makes our community peaceful and safe. It is obligatory for every citizen to obey the all laws (criminal, civil) that set by the government. Instead of following the laws, we heard from news and come across with some bad behaviors such as committing crimes, drug abusing, stealing

    According to Trippett, “...[Americans] are taking increasing liberties with all sorts of ‘minor’ laws that are nonetheless designed to protect and nourish society.” Laws are set for a reason, so if somebody is doing something that disobeys a law, they are breaking that law and they are essentially a criminal. Everyday laws are being broken, from littering to speeding. For example, I often find myself driving over the speed limit, and although I trust myself enough for it to not be a danger to me, anything can happen and so I am not only putting myself in danger but also the other drivers around me.

  • Military Draft Mandatory

    211 Words  | 1 Pages

    I feel that the military draft should be mandatory for individuals to perform at least a year for public service because I think it will benefit the communities by helping and to volunteer to make the communities a better place to be. The consequences that the military draft to be mandatory for individuals to do public service is that in the future, the citizens of the communities would eventually make protests and claim that they should not be obligated of what they should do. I think that both men and women should be mandated to military service so that it would be equally fair for both genders. I think the program would not fit within the American notions of liberty for the reason that it has to do with someone 's way of life, behavior, and

    My Standpoint Civil Disobedience is an effective method of change that has been used throughout history against unjust laws. “Antigone” The story of “Antigone” uses this idea of civil disobedience through Antigone who defies the law given by her new king. As Creon starts off his first day of work he is emotional due to the loss of his eldest son.

  • Military Draft Benefits

    Throughout history, countries are inevitably pulled into conflicts that result in war. These conflicts usually occur because of interests in: economic gain, territorial gain, religion, and nationalism. America, like every country, needs a military to defend itself, especially when tensions arise in other parts of the world and when militia numbers start to decrease. This then allows the government to draft its population to serve in the military. People argue that young men and women’s bright lives are often cut short, and not allowed their Constitutional right to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, but there are many benefits for the nation and the individual by serving one’s country.
