Are you a good citizen?

We talked quite a bit over the last few days about what citizenship is, and about how we can be good citizens. While we learned that there are certain steps to becoming a U.S. citizen, we hopefully realize by now that being a citizen of the U.S., or any other country for that matter, does not necessarily mean we active citizens of our community or our country.

So what does it take to be a good citizen? As citizens of the United States, should anything be expected of us when it comes to citizenship? How about required? Should citizens of this country be required to serve their communities and/or nation? Or should it be left up to the individual?

Some countries around the world have laws requiring citizens to serve in the military for a few years. Would this be a good idea in our country? How about requirements for community service? How do we balance the precious right to choose what we want to do with our time with the need for citizens to take an active role in protecting those freedoms?

Finally, how important is it that we as citizens take the initiative to learn all of that information on the citizenship test that we took on Thursday? If so few natural born citizens know that material, should we still require immigrants to know it in order to become citizens?

There is a lot to think about here, so take your time and give thoughtful responses. Teach me and your fellow students something.

I've provided a few links throughout the above text. They may help you think about the topic.

Your comments must be posted by 11:59 pm, on Wednesday, September 10. Good luck and have fun!!

I think that having good citizenship should not be required in the USA because it sort of takes away rights of freedom to live here (It would limit people maybe). I think maybe good citizen ship should be encouraged though like: cleaning up trash, funding other countries, helping orphans etc.Maybe to encourage it have people sign something asking what they would like to do to help and how they can help. It probably is not a good idea here also because it could cause problems and disputes. And I think to be in the military it should be voluntary, unless some disaster happened and no one wished to sign up for the army. But... Maybe in some countries requiring to serve in the military must be done. About the citizenship test, I think it should be required but maybe for both nautral born and immigrants,offer classes for people to help understand the test and the USA.

Americans should have more oppurtunities to do community service as an option. For example, have something like service zones where in every zone have a building where they meet every other weekend to do a community service project. But, it is not a requirement because some people get so busy with their own lives it is hard to dedicate a good part of the day to work. Kids that do it should get a homework pass for their weekend assignments so that it promotes the idea of helping and they don't skip the community get together to do homework.

I disagree with the thought of citizens to be required to serve in the military because they may not be in a position where they physically or mentally cannot leave home or fight in war which would result in them killed.

I think that every American student should be thaught the things on the citizenship test, wether they remember the info is their problem. The immagrants should have to make a certain percentage or higher because it is almost imposible to get a 100%.

well to be a good citizen you have to do something that you like to do and is nice but if the law requires you to be in the millitary for a few years you might want to be in it or you dont want to. you can only do what you want to do which is nice and not let someone tell you what to do in order to be a good citizen. if you are an immigrant you have to do something nice for your country and not be against it and if you are against the country then you are not a good citizen.

Zaneta said...

I agree with all of you. I think that being a good citizen should be a very active person in their community and encourage others to volunteer and help their country. It wouldn't be a good idea to force people to join the military just to be a citizen because, like savannah said some people may be physically or mentally disabled. And I also think that both natural born citizens and immigrants should take the test to learn about there country. It shouldn't count against the natural born citizens citizenship, but it could be like a quiz that each American citizen takes every year to see what they know.

Anonymous said...

I agree with you all. I think that a good citizen should pick up litter, help their community, have a good attitude, and help the environment. I think some thngs (like above) should be required, but nothing should happen to the citizen if for some reason they can't do all of the expectations above.

I think that serving our nation should be up to the individual, but I think that everyone should serve their country at least one year. Like Savannah said, some people might be in a position where they can't leave home so it shouldn't be a requirement to serve your country.

I think that the citizenship test should be required for an immigrant to want to become a citizen because they should have to take it so they know everything about their "future country" but maybe they should have to get 45% of the questions right. But, I think that natural born citizens should also have to take the test but once every other year, because they should know most everything on the test.

Unknown said...

I agree with everyone who said that a citizen shouldnt have to be a good or great citizen because that would limit the people to there rights, i bet for example only maybe 50 out of 100 wouldbe a good citizen, also i bet only a few of us in this class are good or great citizen's, im mean im probably not even a good or great citizen, i also agree with kellie an immigrant should have to take a citizen ship test but i think that they should study in there own country and until they pass the test they cant come in the us in less they use a visa but ya

Anonymous said...

I think Savannah has a good idea about making like community service progect buildings kind of like clubs at school. I think that would be a great way for people to get envolved in the community, and be a good citizen!

I still think making a class for the test (like our class actually)would be great, so everyone can learn the information even natural or not!
Like Savannah said "whether they remember the info or not that's their problem"

Zaneta said...

Yeah I agree, they should have an American history class that everyone should take every once in awhile.

Anonymous said...

I think that having good citizenship should be a priority because it would strengthen our community and bring people together to make the place in which we live even better than it is today. I think people should have a yearly requirement of community service, in which they must do some acts of community service at certain points in the year. Whether it's cleaning up trash, or helping the needy, as long as they make a difference in the community. I think that immigrants should have to take a test before becoming a citizen of the United States because it will make them have knowledge about our country today, and our countries past. I think that even we should have to take an annual test to make sure that we understand our own country. Now the only time I think that people would be required to serve in the military, army, etc. is if there is a huge war and many of our troops are dying and our nation is falling apart. That would be the time that people better be willing to serve.

Anonymous said...

I think that in the usa the people should have the right to pick whether they want to do anything including joining the army. This would totally mess up the bill of rights and other things in my opinion. we should go by the rules that our anestors came up with and have our rights. I thind people should use good citizenship but not be required to.

Anonymous said...

i think that is a good idea about everyone taking the citizenship test every few years and that way they know about their country. i agree with everyone.

Anonymous said...

To be a good citizen you should be constantly involved with society. I think being involved and giving back should be reacquired somewhat. I think something as loyal as serving in the military should be a choice. Though i think a little community service wouldn't hurt anyone. No one ever thinks about our precious rights as valuable until they actually give it some thought. Yearly community service (if participated in)would be our way of showing our appreciation of what our founding father's found so important for us to possess . . . our rights.

I don't think everything on the citizenship test should be reacquired to learn. But i do think Americans should at least try to learn something about the amazing people who built the free country we have today. As long as citizens show some appreciation for our rights, that's all that matters.

i agree with Jason that we should be aloud to choose what we want to do (community service,army etc.) I think we should encourage people though to help like mentioned earlier.

Anonymous said...

I dont think we should have to serve in the army, there should be other options instead of that. And like kayley said good citizenship shouldnt be required because it would take away the freedom to live here.

Anonymous said...

I agree with kendrik 100%. people should not be forced to do something if they dont want to do it. if we are in a desprit time of war however and not enough people are in the military then it should be required.

I agree with everyone else, being forced to do something like join the army would take away from our freedom and it wouldn't show our good citizenship because it would just mean that we were just forced to do something that made it just look like we were good citizens instead of really acting like good citizens.

Anonymous said...

I agree a lot with Kayley. Having good citizinship should be your own choice. If you are a bad citizen then you should be known as one, but you shouldn't be forced or anything to be a good citizen. If you are a good citizen of the United States then good, a lot of people should be like that but unfortunetl some aren't. But no it shouldn't be required. Also, I think people should have to take the citizenship test that have already lived in the Us, because it will show if they are a good citizen or bad. But having to take it when you first get into the country is pretty stupid, because most likely they are going to fail because they know nothing about this country. If you think about it, they are more likely to do a betterjob than people who were born and raised in the U.S. because we just go along with our lives and don't have to take the test and we don't have to worry about it. So it should no tbe required for when you frist move here from a different country. Every citizen should take it every 4 years after the govenor and president change. (for the younger kids the first time kids should take it is in like 6th or 7th grade.)Lastly, I think being in the military should not be required because people don't like to risk their lives, and not be with there family for a long period of time, and it should not be mandatory.

If the united states would actually force people to go to war then i would say that they dont care about the citizens.

Unknown said...

I think a good citizen is someone who is honest, doesn't liter, and helps others. I don't that anything should be required to be a US citizen.
I think that we should be able to chose if we want to join the army. People should have the right to chose what they fight for. I think that there shouldn't be requirements to do community service.
People should divide their time like this; 65% doing the stuff we want to do and 35% protecting our freedom.
Some things on the citizen test was important for natural born citizens and immgrants to known but I think other things weren't that important to know.
PS: I think that Savannah's idea for community projects at school are great.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah, I forgot about something else! With the community service that should be required. Not something major like planting trees or something like that, but maybe like feeding the homeless, picking up litter, helping people work, ect. hat should be required like once a year, fo rmaybe an 1 hour.

Anonymous said...

i agree with pretty much everyone. but some peaple who are over seas should be at least able to visit their family to comfert them. i know it can be vary stressful becouse their family worrys about them getting killed or hurt. i know from past experiance becouse my dad got back in april from being over seas for about 9 months. so i know they have to do their job but why cant they be able to visit their families?

sorry some typos!

Unknown said...

Like what a lot of you have said is great cause it's true that we shouldn't have to be a good citizen, but we should at least try. I mean I know a lot of people who are already doing their best to help the environment and their community.

No one should have to fight because its stupid to force somebody to fight when they can't like Savannah had said. We should let people volunteer, but if we're in a situation like we are right now, and nobody is willing to, then thats when they should make people fight. But they should throw them in jail if they won't. If they don't fight then they should have to do a certain amount of community service.

Anonymous said...

I also agree with Kendrick. When, they actually make some people go into the military, army, or war, they show how much they don't care because they don't know if they have a wife or husband, children, sick family that is about to die, or any other life problems. But still they force them to go into the war, army, or military. That's just STUPID!

Anonymous said...

I agree with Savannah that people should be able to do comunity service but shouldnt be required i think it should be thought upon as a good thing though, and be being to serve in the military is rediculus why should you have to put your life on the line if you dont want too. I believe that every one should have the chance to do anything wiether its serving your country or community service no matter your race religion or gender. I dont believe that you should have to ace a test to become a citizen if true americans dont even know half of the questions any way, and we should be taught more about the test because let me tell you I would have already been shipped out if I was told I had to take it!!!!!

what if they were to send somebody from the US but he didnt like the US and he killed everyone. then they might think twice about randomly picking someone.

Anonymous said...

i think that good citizenship should not be required. But i aslo think that u should do acts of good citizenship even if you are not required such as 25 hours of community service a year. I also think that we should only join the army when not enough soldiers are in it. Also we should make good citizenship a hobby. And i also think that when people come to the US the should take a test right when they get here and then five years later take it again and see if the improve alot and if they dont they should go back to the country they came from.

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING!!!!
Everyone is talking about war and stuff that they probably didnt even read the question. The Question is ARE YOU A GOOD CITIZEN?

I dont think im a good citizen but im not saying im a bad citizen.

Anonymous said...

I agree with Clay. Good citeizenship should be a priority because it definiteley would strengthen our community to bring people together. We as citizens of the United States of America should always have good citizenship to show that we are definitley the country that is the strongest in citizenship. Countries around the world should not have laws for somebody to serve in the military for a few years because if they don't want then that means that they dont want to. People that want to fight for their country, to become a hero they will become stronger. Once one hero in the military in our country steps up then the word will spread and soon U.S.A will have a strong military.

Hey im just giving us something else to talk about. and + you dont have to go to war to be a good citizen. in fact i bet some peoples in the war arent good citizens.

Anna said...

to be a good citizen, it means many different things.... as you can sorta tell every one has different veiws, and respecting that is something every great citizen should do. we should all be expected to do the right, kind, RESPECTFUL, thing to every one else. i think that every citizen should fend for themselves, parents don't have exess time to help there communities, like my mom and dad, they have 5 kids to take to sports, and other after school, and school activities. i don't think everyone should be requiered to serve in the military, i mean, its like wrong, who wants to go and fight, make friends and them die, or maybe you die. Freedom is a gift in our country, like mr veliz says. i think every individual should have the freedom of speech and they should be able to say No [ like what we learned in deps. class]. i don't think that people should learn all of the stuff people have done in the past, i think, that the people should be worrieng about whats WILL hapeen, and what IS happening right now. many people have done many great things in the past that people don't recognise, but important details, SHOULD be like common sense, like the first few questions on the citizenship test, and who's president...ext.

i agree with everyone! Especially about not serving in the army. I think now maybe encouraging a few hours of community service could really help us and are country, maybe it would be ok to be required but if someone did not do it then we should not like throw them in jail or anything! I definetly agree with Kendrick!

Anonymous said...

i think that having good citezenship is not that important because it gives us to many limits limits. We want to live in a world with no ability to do anything. but I would encourage this so we would have a good country. and serving in the Army with no will power is just plain wrong. i'm not trying to diss the army but they are kind of mean for sending in men who may die and the family pretty much depends on his work money and will suffer because they don't have insuraance.

I believe that everyone should have the right to think and act for theirselves. I agrree with"boo" that people shoul be encouraged to do good deeds. And that they should get involved in the community. I think that before immagrants take the citizenship test they should be given something like a book to study so that way they would have a better chance of passing and you could tell if they really wanted to be a us citezen because they would study, because if they didn't study you could tell.( typos are OK right?)

Anonymous said...

I agree with sarah i mean, its a persons choice if they want to join the military, its their choice if the want to go and defend their country, not someone elses. And another thing, I think you don't have to be a good citizen to serve in the military, i mean theres a French special service unit open to anyone who wants to join (including past enemies), and some of the people in it probably don't even speak French or know the French national anthem. Anyways, my point is that you don't have to be a good citizen to be in the military.

being a good citizen isn't taken lightly in the u.s. and all people should think more about it. Take our rights for example since other countries don't even have a taste of the freedom we hack the luck to even grasp in our hands. We should be more graceful and think about it then we normally do which is rare. It's really a shame.

Unknown said...

I totaly agree with all of you. If a person doesn't want to be in the military, then they shouldn't be forced to. I also think people (natural born or immigrant) should be required to take the citizenship test. But i think the expectations should be higher for naturalized citizens than immigrants because the immigrants might not know much about our country but we do.

Anna said...

yes, everyone is right. serving in the millitary without a choice is so dumb............ dude, they could like die. it would lower our population also.

I agree with Kendrick also! I might not be a GREAT citizen but that doesn't mean I am a terrible citizen. that is what the fovernment makes it seem like. Like, when someone who is not a natural born citizend, and has to come over and take that stupid test, if they miss a certain amount, they are like oh you aren't that good enough of a citizen to live here. that means, a lot of us shouldn't be living here in that case!

I agree with the other people on here, good citizenship should't be required because it takes some of are freedoms away. People who want to do community service should have a place to meet like the other people said. Going into the military should be up to you and not the government because you could put a terrist thats a citizen in there and it could hurt the U.S. if they get high ranking and tell other terrist how to really hurt the U.S. Citizens should learn whats on the citizenship test because they need to know what being a citizen means and what immigrants know so foreign people don't know more about the U.S. than what actual citizens know about there country.
