Being a good citizen

How can we call someone a good citizen ? It’s not case to answer a question like this ,
however , let ‘s agree that if you want to be a good citizen , you have to be a good person
first . A good person is someone who is aware of his rights , duties and responsibilities
towards his family ,his neighbors , his friends and to his community in general . So, we can
say that when someone has principles , ethics and morals . He can be a good citizen .

I believe that there are many things that reflect your principles and ethics as a good
citizen in your country . When you help others and volunteer to provide your services to them
on your won free will . In this case , you are a good citizen . When you help the poor and pay
money for charities and orphanages , in this case you are a good person .When you obey the
rules of traffic and government laws in general , you are a good citizen . A good citizen helps
the elderly and young children . He also protects and keeps his environment clean . He treats
people with respect and preserves the dignity of others . Whoever violates the laws of the
country will never be a good citizen .

A good citizen knows his rights too , but his rights should never violate the rights of
others .Respecting other’s opinion and faith is also an important part of being a good citizen

To sum up , I believe that citizenship is not a privilege given to everyone but a huge
responsibility and burden and shoulder of every faithful and selfless citizen in this country.
