1. What is a community?
2. What are some rules and laws that you and other citizens have to
follow in your community?
Rules are important as families and citizens have to live their lives in a
happy but safe state. Some aspects of why rules are important are: to
maintain civil behavior, be organized, more harmony in the community.
Even under these aspects, there are more branches of why rules are
important.
GUIDELINES:
To start a community, you need authority in your field. You can’t hire
someone to take this over for you. Your community will thrive on
leadership. Have a clear vision of where you want to go and inspire
people to join you on your journey.

3. Participation is key
The people out there won’t magically find you and become engaged
members of your community. You need to show first
what it’s all about. Do something to provide value for
the people you care about and people will show up.
The same counts for your community. Focus on the people to whom
your vision really matters. Invest in every single person. The foundation
you build in the beginning will carry you a long way into the future.
8. Community = culture
Treat your community like a culture, with beliefs, norms and rituals that
are bigger than yourself, and it will save you a lot of headaches.
9. Celebrate success

But being a good citizen goes beyond the black and white of politics. It
doesn’t matter which side of the political spectrum you’re on. What
matters is how you make this country a better place to live in.
If you don’t know where to start, here are some suggestions on how
to be a good citizen:
1. Be Patriotic

Being a good citizen means taking part in social issues, even if they
don't directly affect you.
5. Vote
Voting is an important way to show your country that you care and make
a difference.
6. Mentor Someone
Your talents and skills are essential for nation-building and bringing
honor to the country.
The family is the basic unit of society and the home is where someone’s
values and beliefs are formed. Thus, keeping your home in order is
already making a positive contribution to society.
The law might be harsh or unfair at times but it is the law. And it’s your
duty as a citizen to follow them and encourage others to do so.

Every day, millions of people are experiencing injustice all over the
world. Yet, only very few have the courage to stand up against it. But
remember that as long as most of us are turning a blind eye to the
injustices happening around us, there can be no real change. Besides,
it’s our duty as citizens to defend those who cannot fight for
themselves.
A country’s natural resources are its greatest assets. That’s why doing
your part in conserving those resources is already a service to your
country. Besides, resources like water, in particular, are vital to people’s
survival. You may not think much about not turning the faucet off or
not fixing a leaking pipe but in some areas, all that wasted water can
already cost a life.
Just like conserving resources, a good citizen should practice the three
R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Reducing your waste keeps the landfill from overflowing with trash. It
also keeps potentially toxic materials from rivers, streams, oceans, and
waterways. While reusing and recycling materials saves money and
resources. It helps your country save on waste disposal costs. Plus, it
ensures that raw materials are turned into new products reducing the
need for virgin materials and conserving the country’s resources.
Being a good citizen may not be that easy but it’s not that hard either.
All you need is a little bit of selflessness and a whole lot of love for your
country and its people. But at the end of the day, it still boils down to
your choices. So make sure to choose to be a good citizen every single
day.

values and build relationships with others. Our community is also the

and with respect. Vote in community elections and on other issues.

mostly they are just different. If you like
wide open spaces, lots of nature, and no
neighbors, they are a good choice for you
