O’Keefe CITIZENSHIP IN THE COMMUNITY By Robert T. Peterson Another word for citizenship is member- ship.” A Roman was a member of his city, hence a citizen. In our day we are members, or citizens, not only of the city, town, village or county in which we live, but also of our state and the whole United States of America. In the same way, as a citizen of our commu- nity, state and nation, we are one of a group of people who have joined hands to help and protect one another. In return for our rights and privileges of citizenship, we have certain duties to perform ... to obey the law, for example; to take part in the election of public officials; to pay taxes for the support of our government and, if need be, to fight in defense of our country. A community is a group of people who live in the same place under the same laws and reg- ulations and who have common interests and problems. A city or town, or even a small village or school district is therefore a community. Us- ually such a community reaches out and includes the surrounding farm families who trade in the more populated settlements. In some localities the county is the community and the county seat its center where people from miles around congregate from time to time. In a broader sense, a state is a community. Our local laws are based upon state laws; our local government services and courts are in large measure subject to state control; our local schools are part of a state system. In many re- spects we are part of the state community. We practice good citizenship from day to day until it becomes a habit, an attitude. We practice it by serving other people at home, in school, on the ball field, at work and at church. Although we must wait a few years before becoming voting citizens, we can be participat- ing now. A football player gets ready for the are so many different forms of government that a thick book would be needed to describe them all. Rights and responsibilities of citizenship go hand in hand. As a citizen of the United States one has the right to a free education in the public schools but one also has the responsibility to do one’s best to take the fullest possible ad- vantage of the education in order to prepare one’s self for a life of useful service to one’s fel- low citizens. Our families have the right to fire and police protection, but also the obligation to help prevent fires and to obey laws, and to pay taxes and to support the government services. Adult citizens have not only the right to vote but also the duty to take part in elections and be- come well acquainted with the issues and quali- fications of candidates. We can say that citizen- ship is a two-way partnership. We exchange responsibilities for rights, and loyalty for liberty. big game by practicing football, not marbles, or basketball. We can get ready for the big game by participating in the civic affairs of our neigh- borhood and community. A good citizen has a Bill of Responsibilities to live up to, as well as a Bill of Rights to live under. The Bill of Responsibilities includes the different measures of good citizenship. We can measure how much of a citizen a person is by the way he meets his responsibilities. Very simply described, government is the use of authority in controlling a group’s actions. Much as we would always like to do things our own way, we can easily see that there must be agree- ment on certain ways of behavior so that we all get a share in having our own way. Some of us have to be leaders and some followers, though not necessarily the same ones all the time. The rules or laws, and the people who make them and live by them make up government.
