My grandpa puts an interesting spin on the phrase, “With great power comes great responsibility” by replacing “power” with “privilege”. By his logic, those who have, have an obligation to help those who lack, regardless of the commodity. As a middle class American afforded a good education, I n (After being lucky to travel to South Africa and witnessing a small taste of life in a third world word country, I have taken his message to heart, and always try to help others at every opportunity I am given. Although not all, many of the traits of a good citizen can be traced back to acting responsibly, which I plan to do throughout college with a focus on the high standards of education, social opportunities and ________, and participation available …show more content…
In solving problems to improve the community, working with others both allows for a distribution of workload and creates a larger pool from which ideas for possible solutions can be drawn. In order to (increase collaboration) in addition to furthering my education, I would continue to participate in study groups and work with others to better understand classes, as I have in the past. Another key aspect of social citizenship is the assistance of those in need. I remember first learning about study abroad programs with the story of a group of students going to Ghana to plan and institute a system of pipes that would deliver fresh water to a village that previously had no such access. Ever since hearing that story, I have been intrigued by study abroad programs and become determined to participate in one such program during my college career as it would give me the opportunity to use the skills and knowledge that I am gaining to help others. The prospect of research has similarly attracted my attention. Although in more of a school-type setting, this aspect of learning entirely new things while helping people, although more indirectly, sparks my interest in research as
Many people who are immigrants are living in fear because they are afraid of finding a job and giving their sons a chance at an American dream. So many people are living in this country undocumented and they are working hard for an American dream too. This is why undocumented residents should get a path to get legal by the government. There are so many reasons why immigrants should get a path to citizenship and here are just a few reasons why immigrants should get a path to citizenship out of all the reasons why.

Becoming a citizen of the United States is a very lengthy process. Not just anyone can become a citizen of the United States. There are many requirements and responsibilities to becoming a citizen, whether it is of the United States or any other country. Being a citizen of the United States is a very special privilege. The people who do become a citizen should be very lucky and proud to be the citizen of the United States. Even though they do become citizens of the United States they shouldn't forget about their own country either, but share the joyfulness.
In his address to the country on immigration, President Obama said that “being an American is not a matter of blood or birth.” (2015, Klukowski), Would you agree? When you think of America and its constitutional rights afforded to all, it’s very likely that birthright citizenship (under the 14th amendment) is one of the rights that comes to mind- “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” The United States and Canada are the only developed nations that grant automatic citizenship so expansively to children born within their borders. Anyone born in the United
Garrett Epps begins to tell a story about about driver speeds along a road over one hundred miles per hour. A police man pulls over the driver and asks him for his license and registration. However, the driver tells the police that he can not produce a license and registration because he is a child of undocumented parents, and according to Trump’s claims, those who have parents who are undocumented are not subjected to American laws. Trump argues that the fourteenth amendment’s citizenship clause does not provide birthright citizenship to the children of undocumented aliens. Section one of the fourteenth amendment tells us that “All persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the state where they reside.” Epps communicates that in one of the policies of birthright of citizenship, to be born in the US gives the birthright of citizenship. However, a small fraction of the legal world, including Trump, are fighting for an improved “original intent” of the fourteenth amendment. These select few argue that undocumented aliens and their children are not subject to american laws. However, as expressed by John Yoo, “almost all aliens in the united states, even citizens of other nations, still fall within our jurisdiction while they are in our territory.” Otherwise they could commit as many crimes as they wanted without the fear of punishment.
If you were to buy a fresh pair of Nike's from a street vendor and when you get home, the `N' falls off uncovering an `S', do you still consider them Nike's? Honestly, look at what they really are. They are Sike's. No matter how hard they try to be Nike's, they will always be Sike's. You can cover the `S' with an `N' but can you ever really replace the `S'? No, you can not, so why should an illegal immigrant gain American citizenship rights just because they were born in America?
What does it mean to be an American citizen? This is a hard question for me to answer because while I am proud to be a part of a country where I have the right to vote and get an education just like any other person, I am also ashamed to be a part of a country that was built on the racial enslavement and then discrimination of black people for 200 years. So for me, it is both a blessing and a curse to be an American citizen. I don’t believe the whole ‘America the great’ propaganda or the most perfect nation in the world notion either. But I do believe that as a black women there is no other country in the world that can provide me with opportunities to succeed like America.
The inequalities of race, social class, and age is a major theme demonstrated in the book To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee as well as in modern day society. The segregation of African Americans is a obvious problem in the text. The African Americans were always in different places than the whites and this is still happening in places like schools today. Social class has become a big problem in modern day society and in the text. Each person or family is put into a social class and that behavior is relevant in modern society.
Means of torture have been used around the world for a number of years. At one point in time it had been terminated in the United States; however, after the events of September 11, 2001, it has come back as an acceptable way to acquire information from terrorists.
Service learning has given me the new opportunity experience helping others and including myself. I enjoy volunteer work because It’s a way of giving back to the community, but also I’ve become confident in public speaking. In addition, volunteer work is a great rewarding experience, and it 's also helped me develop social skills, by supporting others. The contribute can make a positive impact in many ways, Barack Obama said, “ the best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the work with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.” There are element that could promise will succeed in life, however, I believe to learn and discover. I will continue volunteering work whenever I can, and I strongly encourage people to join volunteer work because the meaningful impact the lives of their and help thousands of the students confront in reading. It was a great pleasure for me to contribute to the organization to the development of the community through Political Science class volunteering work. The impact that was able to make our community better future.
For those in poverty, the word “privilege” means having access to clean drinking water, having food to eat, being employed, having functional clothes, etc. These are not only privileges, but they are needed for human survival. However, what is considered privilege today is not a matter of survival needs, they are rather wants. Wants are things that entertain and satisfy us, things such as the new iPhones, new tablets, new computers, new clothing line, and any other exclusive things that are not needed for survival. In some parts of the world there are a lack of toilets, bathrooms, or even toilet paper for that matter. Food is worked for rather than bought, and everything is self-taught and self-serviced. Transportation is by foot rather than any transportation vehicle or even a bicycle for that matter. Today, these
Today the Society is split into three separately minded groups. In no specific ordering, the first is determined to believe that any one person born in the United States is a citizen and which means their parents should become citizens along with them. These are the ones whom obtain “birthright citizenship” (Raul). The second are firm believers in the only ones that should be citizens are the ones who go through the proper process of becoming a citizen and according to the article in “USA today,” it states that illegal immigrants are “having babies as a way to obtain citizenship,” which too many Americans “cheapens the whole idea of being American”. The last group is the “other” the ones whom are completely neutral or believe in the
All my life, my mother and father has told me how hard it has been to support our families in Vietnam. The economy from here to there is so horrible that we have to support them. We're always sending at least about a million in Vietnamese money which is equal to about a hundred in American money due to the currency between America and Vietnam. Because of these two reasons, I am in favor of having better immigration process for people who come outside the US.
For Aristotle the human is "by nature" destined to live in a political association. Yet not all who live in the political association are citizens, and not all citizens are given equal share in the power of association. The idea of Polity is that all citizens should take short turns at ruling (VII, 1332 b17-27). It is an inclusive form of government: everyone has a share of political power. Aristotle argues that citizen are those who are able to participate in the deliberative and judicial areas of government (III, 1279a32-34). However, not all who live in a political association are citizens. Women, children, slaves, and alien residents are not citizens. Some groups; the rich, the poor, those who
