Answer these essay questions:

Active citizenship refers to the engagement, participation, and contribution of
individuals within their communities, societies, and the broader world. It involves taking
responsibility for one's actions, being aware of societal issues, and actively working
towards positive change.Key aspects of active citizenship includes civic responsibility,
community engagement, social and political involvement, promotion of diversity and
inclusivity, and environmental responsibility.

b. What is the relationship between citizenship and democracy?

Citizenship and democracy are intertwined, as citizenship grants individuals
rights and responsibilities within a society, while democracy provides the framework for
exercising those rights and participating in collective decision-making. Democracy relies
on active, engaged citizens who contribute to the functioning of the system through
voting, civic engagement, and holding leaders accountable. Conversely, citizenship
flourishes in a democratic environment where equality, inclusivity, and the protection of
individual freedoms are upheld, fostering a sense of belonging, participation, and
responsibility among citizens. Ultimately, citizenship and democracy reinforce each
other, forming the foundation for an engaged, empowered, and equitable society.

c. How do effective citizenship and democracy reinforce each other?

Effective citizenship involves active participation, informed engagement, and a
sense of responsibility within a society. In a democracy, engaged and responsible
citizens contribute to the vitality of the system by voting, advocating for change, and
holding leaders accountable, while the democratic framework provides avenues for
citizens to exercise their rights, ensuring inclusivity and representation in decision-
making processes. This mutual reinforcement creates a symbiotic relationship where
engaged citizenship strengthens democracy, and a robust democratic system fosters
and sustains effective citizenship.
