The Duties and Responsibilities of Citizenship

       Another favorite topics of mine during my government class was "Duties and Responsibilities of citizenship".  First of all a citizen is an individual whose allegiance belongs to the nation for example I'm a citizen. Citizenship is based on a combination of rights, duties and responsibilities. Duties are the requirements that citizens have to do such as obey the law, pay taxes, jury duty, attend school etc. The civic responsibilities is being informed, speak up and vote, respect other's rights and lastly is contribute to the common good.Obeying the law prevents accidents and can help the citizen, paying taxes maintains the armed forces. Attending school is required by states to students up to the age of 16.Being informed is being aware of your rights and having you opinion, speaking up and vote is making your concerns known. Respecting others rights is also important.
       This topic also interest me because it got me well informed about the duties and responsibilities I have as a citizen in the US. After learning more about each one of the duties and responsibilities I feel I am better prepared for the future.I will soon be able to vote and having to attend jury duty, currently I'm attending school which is one of the duties I have.
