Share your understanding on Citizenship.

Citizenship is the statutory connection between a person and a certain country where he or she has some rights and obligations and it means to be a member of a community and that entails having duties like observing laws, contributing to taxes and possibly serving in the armed forces if need be and the rights of citizenship may be gained by birth; status, marriage or naturalisation and the privileges include voting rights, social amenities as well as legal protection.

Again it also serves to promote identity and togetherness and to be involved with the formation of the society one is in so in general, citizenship is the essence of human beings when it comes to their affiliation to the nation they belong to and is very essential in the determination of the citizens status and which status they belong in terms of their obligations and privileges.

How can one become a citizen of a country? Explain one way.

In regards to the attainment of citizenship people undergo a process, which is called naturalization and naturalization is one of the methods of acquisition of citizenship whereby a foreign has to satisfy certain criterions provided by the government of the country in question in order to be granted citizenship of the said country.

And in general such conditions include the duration of the residency in the country, character, language and or civics test, and renunciation of allegiance to the foreign country and the conditions that apply to naturalization of individuals differ from one country to another as I explain, after the process, a person acquires the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of a citizen of the country that he or she has been naturalized into as seen in the right to vote and engage in the activities of the country.

Explain 3 duties of a citizen.

This is one of the responsibilities of a citizen, being responsible for exercising his or her right to vote in the election process and exercising that right responsibly through coming up with informed opinions on various issues.

Again the other important obligation is commitment to the spirit and letter of the laws of the society treating other people’s rights and freedom while holding civic responsibilities.

And besides, the citizens have a responsibility to offer their qualitatively progressive input to their societies by carrying out some of the “civic duties” which include; volunteerism, environmentalism and maintenance of social order within the society. So fulfilling these duties, the citizens contribute to a smooth-running society, support democracy and strive to benefit all members of the given nation.
