Dalton defines a good citizen according to the first half of the 20th century as an individual who has the qualities of loyalty, compliance, and obligation to authority and also has a “subject” mentality. Dalton describes this norm as “duty-based citizenship” (Dalton, 80) However, since the 1960s to date, the definition of a good citizen has changed to one who has higher tolerance, approaches government affairs more directly, and is concerned about the well being of other individuals in the U.S. as well as globally. This new definition of good a good citizen constitutes the new norm described as “ ...

Introduction.

Is Obedience essential for being a

Fifty years ago, parents found that disciplining their children at that time was a piece of cake as they did not have to worry about any fierce counterattacks or the possibility of a coup d’etat or rebellion as it were. Back in the old days, parents demanded obedience from their children and they got it much to the chagrin of the child, but the child obeyed. A mandatory teaching of a righteous moral compass was the goal of every parent that did everything from discipline their child with belts to their hands. In the article titled The Punishment ...

Cyber-hate

Cyber-hate is an offence of propagating hate majorly through the internet. It is rampant in the 21st century due availability of devices which enable access to the internet such as smartphones, tablets and computers. Cybercrime has become such a thorny issue that combating it has become the main agenda of many a government. The social websites were also invented in the 21st century.

United States is a democratic country which, as Abraham Lincoln puts, has "government of the people, by the people, for the people". To simplify, in a democratic nation, it is the citizens who form and run the government and the government takes actions listening to the voice of the citizens. A citizen is defined as an official member of a country. In USA, anyone born in the country gets citizenship by birth. Immigrants also become citizens of USA through naturalization. But one doesn't become a true American and citizen of a country just by acquiring citizenship. In order to ...

A citizen is an individual who enjoys legal rights of a country. For one to qualify to be a citizen of a country, there are certain legal requirements that he has to fulfill. After one has fulfilled all these requirements, then he can be said to have acquired citizenship. These requirements vary, depending on the country involved. The most common means through which one can become a citizen is by birth. Even with this, some countries put some legal requirements such where the conception took place. Countries like US have been controlling the population growth by limiting the number ...

It is not an untold secret that both government and people are bind together in an interdependent relationship. It means that that there is a reciprocal relationship between the government and the citizens that demands a give and take approach (Callahan 174). Just as citizens are liable to follow the laws and rules and regulations set up by the government; the government is also answerable to the citizens for all its actions. As far as citizens are concerned, I think that this collaborative association with the government tests them to find the time and to remain involved for the ...

In this video, a cop killed a white unarmed man without any evidence, an issue that brought much controversy. Most people could not believe that an armed officer shot an unarmed citizen almost eight times. According to the law, a police officer did not have the right to shoot an innocent citizen. The video can be analyzed using the deviance and social norms theory. Deviance can be defined as any behavior or act that rebels the expected norms of a society. The act has sufficient severity to make the majority of the society disapprove it. Norms, on the other ...

A citizen is a person who lives in a specific geographical location, and he or she has a corresponding nationality. The work of Russell Dalton divides the identity of the citizen into two distinctive groups. The first one he refers to duty-based citizens, who work in order to fulfill their professional obligations only. However, the second type that he calls engaged citizen works in order to bring betterment in the surrounding society by exerting him or herself all the time. The prime concern for the latterly mentioned group is to develop themselves and others in order to facilitate the ...

Citizen Kane is an American film produced in 1941. It is directed, produced and co-written by Orson Wells, who also stars in the film as Kane. The film revolves around the life of Charles Foster Kane, a wealthy newspaper business magnate. As he dies in his palatial home, in Xanadu, Kane utters the word “Rosebud” which this triggers a search by a Newsreel reporter about his private life.

Water is one of the vital natural resoures humans can’t live without. According to the World Bank estimate, almost two thirds of the global population will run short of pure drinking water by 2025. There’s a debate all over the World regarding privatization of water, driven by government authorities and large corporate in different countries. This topic is controversial – will the water privatization help to distribute the priceless “oil of the 21st century” in a fair and wise way or should the officials concentrate on protecting water supplies and fighting pollution rather than try to privatize the ...

My reaction to this poem was that it was jarring for three reasons. It was jarring in that it seemed to contradict itself. Second, the rhyme scheme was regular in some parts and seemed irregular in others due to the fact that it kept changing. The rhythm of the poem was also jarring because it went along smoothly in sections then seemed to break up especially in the longer lines. First, the poem established the conformity to society in the first five lines then hints at rebellion with “Except for the War” in line 6. Later, in line 24, ...

The 14th Amendment and the Protection of Civil Rights

QUALIFYING CITIZENSHIP Abstract

The 14th Amendment, and its “Citizenship Clause,” has been the means by which questions of citizenship are resolved. Over the past two years, a group of state lawmakers have sought a way to change the constitutional meaning of citizenship by circumventing the 14th Amendment without seeking to alter the Constitution itself. The attempt to create a dual birth certificate system is their attempt to identify and separate the American-born children of illegal aliens. In a violation of due process, this move to redefine what it means to be an American citizen is a legal matter, requiring ...

Question A

The readings clearly bring to the attention of an individual the excesses that managers or leaders can practice which would adversely affect the relationship between the manager and the subjects. Essentially, the readings clearly indicate the possible things that can lead to poor management and leadership, which will affect the subjects adversely and eventually lead to inconsistencies. This gives an individual wide knowledge with regard to things that are necessary which should not prevail in a management situation (Frederickson, 2005, p. 75). The readings address decision-making strategies and approaches necessary in a management situation. This enables one to develop ...

The Birthright Lottery by Ayelet Shachar

The Canadian government has recently taken steps towards what they deem will make Canadian citizenship valuable. In 2009, a law was passed limiting or restricting people in obtaining Canadian citizenship. Children born abroad on the date 17 April 2009 and after would only obtain Canadian citizenship if at least one of the parents was a Canadian citizen by birth or by naturalisation. Canadian parents are therefore limited in passing citizenship to children born abroad after one generation. These restrictions have raised concern over which state children born abroad fall into and ...

Through her book, Cohen gives an account of the developments in the consumer and the marketplace since the 1930s. She describes the intersection between commercial lives and other various domains in surprising ...

The U.S. Patriot Act Americans faced one of the most horrifying episodes in their history of the United States. Many individuals watched with horror as the historical landmarks collapsed simultaneously at the hands of terrorists. Who could forget the shock as the terrorist planes embraced the Twin Towers as the terrorist snuffed the lights of many innocent victims? As a result of this horror, the American Congress waited for only forty-five days before passing the USA Patriot Act in response to that fateful date of September 11, 2001. A number of delusion individuals convinced themselves that they reserved the ...

Everyone is asked to live under laws which are designed and dictated to us but his does not mean that by following them a person qualifies to be called a good citizen. A good citizen a person needs to be good and considerate about other people and the environment in which they live. While growing up, children are often taught to mind their manners and be respectful. They are also encouraged to help others and love other people. But then in order to exhibit such attributes as responsible persons, people need to set values and principle as well as ...

“The Unknown Citizen” is a poem written by W.H. Auden and depicts a period of significant negative changes in the history of United States. Several references within the poem make it rather obvious and easy to interpret that the target is in fact the Government, but is handled in a light hearted manner. The poem doesn’t attack the government or the bureaucrat directly, but instead uses a very modest and humorous tone to play off these matters (“X. J. Kennedy”).The history associated with this poem is complex and highlighted the distortion of what is obscure and public ...

Introduction

Cicero, in his work "De Re Publica" wrote that he didn't install his own, new, invented the terms, but reproduce from memory the conversation between renowned wisest men of his country. In turn, these" famous men": Scipio Africanus, Laelius and others - have repeatedly resorted to the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers, referring to Plato and Aristotle. Creativity Plato to the present day remains at the focus of researchers of different directions. For historians in particular, his works are interesting primarily as a reflection of the time period when they were written. Aristotle also belongs to the ...

A market democracy is also known as democratic capitalism or capitalist democracy. This is defined as a social, political and economic system that is a tripartite kind of arrangement. It is an economy that is market and democratically based. Here, the government gives economic incentives through fiscal policies and free markets. On the other hand, classical liberalism is defined as an ideology and philosophy that belongs to the liberalism school of thought.

Introduction

Human rights can be said to be the rights that people enjoy to fulfill the values of life. They cover the relations between people and nature, other people and/ or the society. In a social context, they are the rights enjoyed by a nation and sovereign rights of a country (Cohen, 12). The value of respect, freedom for human rights and the principle of holding periodic free and fair elections by universal suffrage are crucial elements of democracy (Cohen, 45). The election must be by secret ballot as the expression of the will of the people. In turn, democracy ...

In a democratic country, citizens participation in policy formation is not only a desirable concern, but rather essential to ensure better governance, formation and implementation of people-centered policies. Therefore, it is of critical significance to interrogate whether citizens can influence local government politics. Citizens engage in various activities in local governments that are vital to the running of these governments. Moreover, these governments are formed through democratic elections. The core values of democracy are participation and accountability. Therefore, activities such as community work, voting, demonstrations, protests, campaigns, payment of taxes and bills, contribution of ideas, volunteering for community or ...

If somebody had asked me what makes a film successful, I would have been not able to answer at once. Acting, directing, screenplay, soundtrack, costumes, settings, camera operating, and a great many of other factors are equally valuable; they all contribute to the general perception of the film by the auditory. In my essay I will focus on one element of the system – music; and I will try to discover how that magnificent tool makes a film admired. Anabel J. Cohen in his Music as a source of emotion in film states that “emotion characterizes the experience of film, ...

Outlines of the French Revolution

The Estates General The meeting by the Estates General was held for the first time in 1789 in the town of Versailles since the 1614 meeting of the French Estates General. It was an assembly that represented what was known as estates of the realm of the French. It comprised the First Estate (clergy), the Second (nobles), and the Third (it purported to represent the commoners but in essence only had the bourgeoisie). The Estates General meeting of 1789 was requested by King Louis XVI. It was held between 5 May and 23 June of that year. The aim ...

In the W. H. Auden poem “Unknown Citizen,” as well as the Edwin Arlington Robinson poem “Richard Cory,” we see two very glowing (on the surface) accounts of an individual. In the former, we hear about the titular citizen, only known through the weird, abstract figure JS/07 N 378, and in the latter Richard Cory; both of these men are said to have everything anyone could want, and do everything right. However, both poems subtly reveal a darkness and emptiness in the lives of these men that speaks very clearly to the human condition, in particular its apparent ...

Arguably, many people in the world believe American government, to be democratic. In fact, they have various stable means to exercise popular control over their institutions and lawmakers. This is actually a basic paradox of American government because these powers are in most cases fragmented through the federalist system. Undeniably, these institutions are repeatedly unresponsive to the majority of public demands. The public always depend on this institutions and lawmakers in various ways; hence, it influences voter participation, as well as citizen participation in nation building.

In United States, federal system is a philosophical and political concept that elaborates ...

Voting is one of the crucial citizen duties in participating in the development of a country. In many countries, including the United States, voting is optional for the citizens while in other countries voting is compulsory. Some scholars in the United States argue that voting in the state should be compulsory to bring some changes such as preventing democrats from winning all elections in the country (Vile, John 14). The introduction of compulsory voting would enhance reforms that would otherwise increase voter turnout to trigger a stiff competition. Voter turnout has been a big challenge in the United States ...

When James Joyce was talking to a potential publisher of dubliners, he thought it would turn out to be just one section of Ireland’s moral history. Ulysses turned out to be much the same, in the form of a huge magnification of the ongoing argument that contains the frustrations of a broken heart and the awful clarity with which this Irish writer remembered, from the depths of exile, the specifics of a face that he could not forget. In Ulysses, what you get is some historical fiction showing the average lives of average dubliners thrown in high relief ...

The concept of citizen engagement has been explored in many jurisdictions which profess democracy as an ideology and means of government formation. It is considered an underpinning of a deliberative democracy that can accentuate appreciation of the government if there are subtle frameworks and spectrums for its realization. An institutionalized civic engagement can be an important tool in ensuring a sustained cooperation between the government and the citizens in the formulation of larger policy agendas and not only on ad-hoc, one-off endeavors with specific goals. But what would really be counted as civic engagement? Above all, any engagement that ...

The Exclusionary Rule is one of the more important rules that is utilized in the American judicial system. The entire American judicial system is designed to protect the individual's rights from the government, and to limit the amount of power that the federal and state governments have over the citizenry. In criminal trials, the individual is considered innocent by the government until proven guilty; this is to protect the individual citizen against unfair or untrue allegations, and to ensure that all citizens receive a fair trial when they are accused of criminal activity. The exclusionary rule or the exclusionary ...

America was built on the values of what we call “freedom.” But we are finding on deeper and deeper levels that “freedom” in regard to citizenship in a country is a concept of deep relativity. And that is a vast platform of relativity. The collective mind of America loves freedom and the concept of it. But many times that “freedom” is confused with a right-to-rule concept. Right-to-rule is the idea that each individual citizen gets the opportunity to push society in the direction that he or she chooses by casting a free vote in a free election. The idea ...

A contract is a promise for breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in a way recognizes as a duty. Usually, a contract is signed only after the parties agree and understand the terms and conditions governing the contact. Some parties tend to encounter contract issues down the line because he/she did not proof read or ask questions. Negotiating contracts give each party the opportunity to make changes and give input before anything is made final.

The constitutional amendments and the court rulings among the American institutions in matters regarding abortion have led to multiple reactions among the people on the stance of the government. The restrictive aspects of the abortion policy define the nature by which the people regard the abortion policies. The Obama health care bill provides for only elective abortion meaning not all the people with an insurance cover can undertake abortion. Court rulings have not left the issue to chance as with a number of cases having no favor for abortion. The most notable decision was in the case of Roe ...

Illegal Immigration: The Border Has Been Crossed

Illegal immigration is not only a growing trend in the United States of America but it is also a frequently discussed and debated topic through news sources, social media and through political campaigns. There are both sides of the debate, one which does not see the illegal immigration as being a downfall to the country and one that does.

Personal injustice paper

This paper seeks to elaborate an injustice I suffered under at the hands of the government. Every citizen, or individual who attains the qualification for attainment of citizenship to a country, is entitled to recognition as a citizen of the said country.

This acknowledgement should be attained as a right earned by a citizen and the duty owed to them by the government. I experienced the reality in a bid to attain ...

The American dream is an ideal, an aspiration that is embodied in the pursuit of happiness and self-satisfaction that has been the banner of the United States as personified in its philosophy of freedom. This ideology wants people to believe that everyone can achieve prosperity and success in the land of the free provided that one strives hard because there is very little barrier that would deter one from accomplishing their goals of a better life. Although the specificity of the American Dream varies and changes over time, the general concept remains the same—that anyone who works hard ...

Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen

The French Revolution or the Reign of Terror has been one of the world’s bloodiest and influential revolutions in history, reshaping international and regional politics as it is seen today.

Orientalism by Edward Said

Edward Said is an expert in the field of post-colonial studies. He annotates and denotes the word Orientalism as the false cultural exaggerations and assumptions of the western countries. These assumptions, according to Edward Said, facilitate the misinterpretation of what is referred to as the Orient in general and the Islamic nations (Middle East) in particular. The importunate and subtle Eurocentric chauvinism against the Muslims and the Arabs together with their culture is a very contemptuous attitude especially from the western world. The over ambitious Europe and the United States, according to Edward Said, has indiscriminately subjected Arabs and ...

Introduction

The America constitution entitles every citizen the duty of paying income taxes. The criteria use to implement the law on taxes payer has created a feeling of unfairness. The outcome from the taxation practice has resulted in taxpayers developing an interest or idea of renouncing their U.S citizenship in order to evade paying the income taxes. Renouncing of US citizenship is justified in the immigration and nationality act. It therefore implies that most of the US citizens have escaped paying their taxes. This is because it is a right for every citizen; it therefore plays a very fundamental role ...

Humanitarians differ with the government on the policy regarding targeted killings. Their argument is that it is an option which is repugnant to the principle of justice and morality. The right to life is a universal declaration which was consented to by all member states of the UN during its inception after the Second World War. Therefore the United States, they argue should be bound by its commitment to preserving human rights in the world by abandoning the strategy of targeted killings of suspected high profile members of terrorists organizations. It is true that the United States should champion ...

Role of the America citizen in democracy

This paper aims at examining the role of the American citizens in democracy. However, before the author explores what roles the American citizens play in ensuring that democracy prevails in the country, it is prudent that we look at what is democracy. Actually, democracy has myriad of meanings especially to the citizens of America. For instance, it may mean the natural rights, liberty and even the equality of dealing with people in the country. However, despite of this solemn definition of democracy, it has always been on record that at times it may be extremely difficult for the government ...
