“Hannah Arendt advocated the idea of active citizenship. In The Human
Condition she writes that politics is the most important action for the human
person. She argues that people can live meaningful lives by staying active in the
public sphere. Today when we say “‘active citizen”’ we usually refer to someone
who actively participates in the public sphere. That is, the active citizen actively
contributes to decide who governs his/her locality, and what policies should be
adopted and why. Active citizens do not just receive benefits from living in a
particular nation, but take the responsibility to take on for particular civic
obligations for the country”.
