In case you have problems in another country then you could be protected by your government. Also it is
a sense of pride to be part of the country you was born in or chose to part of.
C)
The main reason is that unlike non-citizens, a citizen enjoys certain privileges. It also shows what country
you are related to and what culture you come from. It's like a guide and a category and it can have
benefits (you have rights and obligations at the same time).
Importance of Citizenship
Good Citizenship is very important in creating a
functioning society. Here are some characteristics
a good citizen needs.
HONESTY:Honesty is a necessary characteristic to
have when becoming a good citizen because lying
could cause legal and social problems, and make
create chaos and corruption in a country or place
where you are a citizen.
COMPASSION: Compassion is also necessary for
good citizenship. Compassion is important because
in order to act kindly and treat others how we want
to be treated, we must understand how others feel

feelings.
COURAGE: Courage is important in being a good
citizen because citizens need the courage to do
what is right, and not just do what everyone else
does.
RESPECT:Respect is very important because for
everybody to be equal and fair in society, citizens
must respect each other. Respect also creates a
friendly and kind society that people want to live
in.
RESPONSIBILITY:Responsibility is the most
important aspect of a good citizen because it Ties
together all other aspects. It is the responsibility of
a citizen to be honest, compassionate, and
respectful.

4. BEING HELPFUL:Being helpful is important
because if everyone helps each other, the world
would be a better place, and a society can function
better
One thing I have done to be a good citizen is pick
up someone's books recently when they dropped
them.
This shows the importance of being helpful and
respectful to others.
Citizenships is
very important.
