A Project On Civic Rights Education

An average citizen can engage in civic life many ways. The ways are important even though that individual participates in that activity only once. One of the ways is to start where they are. This means that the person does not need to know everything. They are bound to make mistakes simply because they are not perfect and it is through those mistakes that they going to learn and get better. The second is to take things step by step. In everything there is a process and there is an order to doing it therefore it is important to take thing one-step at a time. The

Civics and citizenship education is a vital part of the Australian curriculum, as it prepares students to become active and informed citizens in the community (ACARA, 2012). The term “civics and citizenship” covers a range of topics that relate to both the geography and history syllabuses. This includes government and democracy, citizenship, diversity and identity and laws and citizens. For students to be able to develop the necessary skills, attitudes and values to become active and informed citizens, civics and citizenship must be incorporated throughout the curriculum (ACARA, 2012). To understand the importance of civics and citizenship in primary education, both terms need to be understood and comprehended

Moreover, the authors’ inductive reasoning connects the falling rate to the reduced effect of civic learning. By adopting a more logical approach, the authors are able to support their assertion and stress upon the reader the severity of the problem. Similarly, the authors’ appeal to emotion also plays a crucial role in conveying the necessity to encourage students to learn about their government. History shows the reader that America “has long exemplified democratic practice to the rest of the world” and has a duty to maintain those reputable values in the future generations. Democracy in which the country started upon cannot uphold without the contribution of the people it governs.

In today’s society, the subject of politics is not always met with great approval or admiration. Therefore, it is important that analyzing Mann’s emphasis of Political Education that we understand what it refers to. The idea of politicians and political parties and the riffs between them must be put aside when thinking of Political Education. The important part, the part that Mann emphasized, is the understanding of the Constitution, and consequently the rights of every citizen of the United States. Once an average citizens knows his rights, he will have more just power as a citizen. Not only will he be able to defend himself if wrongly accused, but also will know what is appropriate and within his rights when making decisions on his own actions. Learning how

Voting is the foremost way to exhibit good citizenship and civil responsibility. People should get involved in elections and educated in all political measures. By this they become good and responsible participatory citizens. It should always be remembered that some people sacrifice their lives to preserve the freedom and voting opportunity as a sacred right. True democracy demands the involvement of the people otherwise in absence of that there is no democracy(Akande, 2011).

I went into Government class thinking I knew a lot about government. I quickly figured out there was a lot I had to learn. I am very glad I was required to take this class because without taking it, how would I know how everything works or know how I am affected by the government? My beliefs didn’t change nor did the political party I identify myself with but I have a much better understanding about what goes on in our Country. I learned much more than I thought I would learn, from the ways someone can become president, to how a bill becomes a law, to who were considered to be the best presidents.

I completely agree with you about civics being taught much earlier than senior year. It is a very valuable class that should be taught early so our students can start applying them early. I wish I was taught how to balance a checkbook, about credit cards, and saving money. History was really boring to me otherwise because all I remember is PowerPoint, lectures and notes. It is not hard to memorize these but when it comes to remembering them hard because it is not memorable enough for students like myself to make connections to what was taught. Memorizing is good for some subjects but history is something that needs connections.

The paper implies the absence of the topics (directly or indirectly) connected to human dignity in education and underlines the relevance of “education on human dignity” in democratic system. Namely, the paper considers human dignity as a core of democratic political culture and explains that educational process might have a great impact on “educational development of human dignity”. According to the main characteristics of the democratic system, the objectives of “education on human dignity” ought to go in line with citizenship education. Moreover, the paper suggests “education on human dignity” to be an integral part of citizenship education and reveals a model for this type of education consisting of three main parts: “education about human dignity”, “education through human dignity” and “education for human dignity”. The suggested model helps students to internalize values and develop their personality and identity. In this way, the education in democratic society tends to consider human beings both as citizens as well as individuals.
