What Would I Do To Be A Productive Citizen?

As a productive citizen, I choose to respect and obey the laws of our country. I also must respect the differences of others, although I might not agree with what they have to say or how they choose to live. I also participate in community service projects, so I can improve life in our community. Things like recycling and taking care of my neighbor’s dog or dogs when they are not home are simple, but good ways to be a productive citizen.


My game is about people having to learn how to treat their pets and other animals. Our game will encourage people to treat animals with respect, so the animals will not be abused or neglected. As productive citizens we should be informed, not only about our rights but also about the rights of animals.

FREE TO WHISPER, SPEAK, AND SHOUT!!!!

We have learned that Civics is the study of what it means to be a U.S. citizen. In America, everyone enjoys such basic rights as the freedom to speak freely, believe in what we desire to believe, and freedom to express our individuality without being afraid for our lives or the well being of our loved ones. At the same time, we also have responsibilities. Some of are responsibilities of being a good citizen include obeying the law, taking part in and improving my community, and when I am old enough, voting.


Of all my freedoms, I think freedom of speech is most important because you should be able to speak your mind. I can also speak my mind about the government and criticize the government if I choose to. But, I must also be a responsible citizen. I do not have the right to tell lies or to spread false rumors about others. I think these limits help protect my rights and the rights of others, so we all can enjoy our freedom.
