Good Citizen
A good citizen is one who properly fulfills his role as a citizen following the rules of his
land and society. To be a good citizen, we have to prepare ourselves to do good work in
society. First, we need knowledge. Today’s society is knowledge-based. Without knowing
modern sciences, technologies including ICT and other necessary subjects, we will have
difficulty living a good life. As a good citizen, the other areas we should have knowledge
about are: our country, its constitution, geography and people; our state, its executive and
legislative powers; our judicial system; our government and its structures and functions;
our history, cultures, traditions, literature, moral values and religions; our socio-economic
activities and educational system. Secondly, we need skills to do things. Knowledge is not
enough. We must be able to apply our knowledge to do things practically. Finally,
knowing and doing things will bring about a change in our behaviour towards others, that
is, it will show how one thinks and feels about a person or thing. A good citizen is very
important to make a peaceful society. A good citizen is respected by all of the society. We
all should try to be a good citizen.
