GOOD CITIZENSHIP

VALUES
• Good citizenship is what occurs when one properly
fulfills their role as a citizen. There are many opinions as
to what constitutes a good citizen. In a speech by former
American president Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) he
said, “The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic
of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own
weight; that he shall not be a mere passenger, but shall do
his share in the work that each generation of us finds
ready to hand; and furthermore, that in doing his work he
shall show, not only the capacity for sturdy self-help, but
also self-respecting regard for the rights of others.”
