Good Citizens
A good citizen is someone that to my mind is trustworthy,
has respect for his own property as well as for the next person’s
property. This person is responsible and
knows that whatever he or she does will affect many people around him or her,
directly or indirectly. This person is
able to deal fairly with people, under any circumstances and cares about what
happens to others.
Being a good Citizen is import to our Country. We need to teach our children good values
that will help them growing up. We need
to take the time in working with them. In showing them the right way of living. Looking at some aspects and values I think we
need to address give me some of your thoughts and tell me if you believe I am
wrong. What can we do to make our Country
better?
Respect
I have been talking to a number of people and it seems that
in our Country today there is a lack of some good qualities throughout the
nation. It seems our Citizens don’t have
any respect for each other these days.
People don’t respect other people nor do they respect their property and
or what they wear or do. It is shocking
to see how badly people behave when it comes to respecting each other. The children have no respect for the elderly.
Trustworthiness
My dad always told us never to trust other people and today
I see that there is no trustworthiness in our country. People go back on their word constantly. I can use a company as an example. I went for the interview and this gentleman asked
and almost pleaded with me that should he employ me for the next couple of
month that I should not drop him and leave.
I took the offer and started work, something changed I believe the young
lady I was helping out became very insecure and within two weeks the asked me
to leave. What happened to I will give
you the opportunity in doing the work and letting you stay until the young
woman returned. Because of this young woman’s
insecurity I was booted out. So who can
you trust?
Responsibility
In our house the children are being taught
responsibility. We have given each child
a task that needs to be done. Their
responsibility isn't that difficult and they need to own their jobs. Now because they have these little jobs with
are to first of all discipline their lives and secondly to help them take their
responsibility. I find them constantly
dropping the jobs. First I used to fight
and shout and get myself so angry, I stopped it. I told my husband that he needs to deal with
them. They are learning how to become
responsible and when we keep on picking up after them they lose their
perspective on their responsibility. ‘Oh
well, she will do it, I am not going to worry.’
Wrong move, it’s your job own it.
Fairness
I find there is no fairness these days, no one is fair. If they can score boy will they score. It’s all about me, what I can get out of the
deal. It doesn't matter that it is to
the determent of the rest of the people as long as I can be number one. All our children are learning these things,
and it seems no one is worried about it.
What will happen when they grow up mean and have nothing to give to
others. Feeling that they are just in
treating people unfairly? We need to
make a point in teaching our children fairness.
Caring
Life sure is difficult and to be honest I see that as people
every one of us are too busy in our own little worlds. We don’t have time for the next person. We are too busy with our own selfish
needs. I want – I get. No, what about caring about other
people. Isn't it better to give than to
receive? I don’t know but we need to start caring about the elderly, the sick,
the poor and then look to ourselves.
