Rights and duties

1. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2. • Citizenship is the status of a person
recognized under the custom or law of
a state that bestows on that person
(called a citizen) the rights and the
duties of citizenship.
What is the definition of citizenship?

3. • For us, citizenship means to have all the same
rights and duties. It’s the equality through all
citizens by fulfilling all duties and respecting
other citizen’s rights.
What citizenship means for us?

4. What do we think about citizenship?
• We think citizenship is very important to all
citizens because without it, people
wouldn’t follow laws or wouldn’t feel
protected at their own home.

Citizenship is equality!

7. Duties…
There are also some duties, such
as follow the country's law, to pay
taxes, to serve in the military, to
respect other citizens etc.

8. Together we should strive to achieve
social, economic and political equality.

9. Responsabilities…
• We all must have responsabilities
every day to every situation. If you’re
responsible you don’t get in trouble.
• I’m responsible if i take all i need to
school, if i do the homework, if i’m
not late to the classes and if i study.

10. In short, we must respect others
to be respected, because only
then can we live in a society.

You’re actually
a pretty smart
duck.
That’s about it
for citizenship.
Now do you
understand?
