Citizenship means different things to different people, and there are many different ways to define good citizenship. Here is what some people have to say about being a good citizen:
"Simply put, good citizenship is leading a life that is favourable to yourself, your neighbour and the world around you. A good citizen understands that he or she has a responsibility to the community, nation, environment and law."[1]
"Indeed it's only when our civic life gives space and encouragement to genuine religious faith that the potential for good citizenship is drawn out."[2]
"All persons born or naturalized in the Unites States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."[3]
"A good global citizen has to do with how we use are energy- where and how we spend our money, how we think, speak, act, and how we spend our time." [4]
"The best citizen puts ethics before law, law before gain, nation before self." - David A. Todd of Bella Vista, Ark. [5]
