What does the good citizen look like ?
"What does a citizen looks like" this is such a good question. first, we have to make clear what is it meant by a citizen. Citizen are people who belong to a group or a country. For example, I am born in Taiwan, so I am a citizen of Taiwan and native of Taiwan. But their are some different situation too. Like if you want to come Taiwan to be a teacher, the country only gives you the acceptant that you can work here legally. But if you don't have an ARC card, you must leave Taiwan after few weeks, and that will be like you go on a vacation and go back to your country cause the holiday is over. And this process in US is called Naturalization. which is the same thing that I said. So, basically a citizen is a person that legally been allow to be a group or a country. We can say we are citizen of HIS. Cause this is our school and also we belong here for studying. Here are some of my personal thinking of citizenship and citizen.
For being a citizen of school, I think there are five outcomes that is most important and including all the things. There are " personal of high character, community contributor, active learner, effective communicator and critical thinker and problem solver. But, what are they mean though ?
Personal of high character - You got really good personality, you help people with happiness and treat it as a pleasure to help others, For example, people ask you about math problem and he just don't get it, you won't shout at them or just giving up on them. You will keep trying in another way.
Community contributor - Means that you do something for the sociality. Like pock up trashes, pit back the basketball that is on the basketball court and no one is playing it. that is a part of personal of high character too.
Active learner - Like how the words said you want to learn things actively. This is not just using or learning of school stuff , but also stuff you trying to figure out. You might go online and go library or ask teachers and parents about it, which means never give up till it got all things you want.
Effect communicator - In words what you read, is means that you convince people with your words. But actually is not just about that, is about makes people understand things or make them listen to you stuff like that and makes people understand fully get your information.
Critical thinker and problem solver - For example you got a problem on science and you don't get it, you are not just going just to go ask teachers to help you. You find the information by yourself, and do all things that you should do, and then if you still don't get understand you will call help. But actually when you come to this level you don't need to, cause you combine this whole thing together and the problem just had been solved. I simply if actually is way move complex than that, but make a long story shorter it is just critical and solve problems.
Now we know about these five outcomes and what it means, those are things that U think are the most important five characteristic of good citizenship at school. Every thing that I described, can be really small but also cab be really huge. In another words, these are all things that you need to follow and do, if you want to be a good citizen of school.
To be a good citizen of one's country. I think there are three important parts for being a citizen but there are other parts about attitudes to people in country. But lets talk about parts that being a citizen. first follow the rules and law that been written for your country; send is that we shouldn't bother other people's right. For example don't try to get things illegally. Another example we shouldn't write things on news or TV that is racist or discriminatory. For example in Taiwanese shows, some of them will say something about the Indian students, and laugh at their skin color and tell them to get back to their country. Thirdly, you should really care about the community and sociality around you. This is from a Taiwanese essay on governmental law. These three things are the basic things that you should follow. It could also have very serious consequences for people. What i mean is that some people just want to follow the tules and they do it. But for some people that maybe they are illegally living here or they are robbers or even terrorists it might be hard for them.
Global warming is an issue where people can show good citizenry on a global level Another example, it is not a good things to throw garbage every where, cause it is not good for the earth and the region around you. Be more specific, it is not good to throw garbage this everyone already know. But how to ? And throw to actually make it hurt the earth as small as possible ? That is about separate them. Is always good to make the cleaner get less work so it will be quicker. And if it goes quicker, the world will go faster. And also bring your own cup to drink shop, cause that you can use less paper cups, and they will cut less trees, they cut less tress, the world’s forest will be more and it makes people more relax cause the air and also global warming will be fixed or be much less.
These are all things needed to be a good citizen in all situations and societies. And it is a positive way to look at this thing about citizenship. It is hard to understand and hard to do but that is what a good citizen does. It is a good thing alway have a goal for us to reach and follow it.
