Citizenship Is Defined By A Rite Of Passage Of Mrrale's

Citizenship can be defined as the position or status of being a citizen in a particular country (Oxford Dictionaries, 2016). This definition is not very broad, nor does it cover the many aspects of citizenship that exist in the 21st century. It is not only about being a legal citizen of a particular country, it is also about being a social citizen. You can be a citizen of Australia but choose to live elsewhere for the majority of your life. In terms of citizenship it is relevant on a political and social level. If you are actively contributing to the country in which you live in some ways you are fulfilling your duties as a citizen.

Over a century ago, the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution was implemented to grant citizenship to individuals born within the country. This was the first time that it was defined what it means to be a citizen in the U.S. While the amendment was created to address the citizenship of slaves, it is currently under speculation in regards to granting U.S. citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants (Gans, 2012). While there have been many arguments to place restrictions or eradicate granting children of undocumented immigrants U.S. citizenship, the constitutional right remains the same: if you are born on U.S. land, you are a citizen (Angelo, 2013). This paper argues that the birthright citizenship of U.S. born children of undocumented immigrants should continue to be granted based on the underlying principles of the 14th Amendment and the possible implications of ending birthright citizenship. First, this paper describes birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment, as well as its use in several Supreme Court cases that are significant to this issue. Then, various implications of eradicating birthright citizenship are discussed. Before discussing the possible consequences of eradicating birthright citizenship, it is imperative to discuss the history and principles underlying it.

“We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish the Constitution for the United States of America.” Without the right that the Constitution brings us, we wouldn’t have rights therefore the United States wouldn’t be a good place to live in. The Constitution brings us the right of freedom of speech (first amendment) , the right to bear arms (second amendment), and the right to protect against unreasonable government actions such as search and seizure of person property (fourth amendment). Being an American citizen means that you have rights that they would like you to fulfil. As an American citizen is it voluntary to vote, but others are required such as obeying the law and paying taxes. The Magna Carta, John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government, and the Petition of Rights explains the rights and the responsibilities of an American citizen.

2. Define a citizen. Someone who is born in the U.S. or someone who goes through the naturalization process.

Citizenship is not a recent idea, nor it is an ancient organization of society. The idea that the ordinary person should play a role in society emerged as citizenship, and the status, given by a government to some or all people, balances individual rights and individual responsibilities to aid the government. The most predominant form of early citizenship is in Athens and Rome, in which the people of a state are known as citizens as opposed to subjects, who populate the empires in Egypt, Babylon, and China. In spite of having a similar governing system, Rome and Athens are two drastically different civilizations; their differences not only stem from the drastic difference in their population number, but also from their ideals of life. However,

2. I do not think Chavez expected her audience to agree with her position as it was posted in the politically conservative section of the Wall Street Journal. Before I read the political background section of Linda Chavez, I had thought the author to be liberal. But after reading the excerpt I the beginning of the publication, I noticed that she was a Hispanic Conservative. I could tell that Linda Chavez did not expect her audience to agree with her when she stated that “Repealing birthright citizenship is a terrible idea.” Most conservatives wish to dismiss birthright citizenship, but in this passage she explains the significance of it, and what it would do to the future of the nation.

In order to have a great appreciation for biology, it could be argued that one should have a basic understanding and appreciation of the cells that compose all life on Earth. In the same vein, a chemist might be more appreciative of chemical reactions when they are able to understanding the reactions happening at the molecular level between the elements involved. Much in the same way, Aristotle as an appreciator of the state attempts to gain a better understand of what makes up that state by proclaiming, " a state is composite, and, like any other whole, made up of many parts;—these are the citizens, who compose it. (Arist. Pol. III,1, 2).” When trying to demystify the term of citizenship, Aristotle is quick to dismiss multiple commonly associated definitions. For example, many would assume that living in a state is enough to make one a citizen of said state. However, as Aristotle argues, there are a variety of people that “live” in the state such as women and slaves that do not have the ability to exercise certain political rights and also lack the ability to be a citizen. This definition can generally be agreed upon even when relating it back to the world today where numerous people can live in a state but not be citizens, such as the aforementioned undocumented immigrants in the

Citizenship is where you are nice to people, teamwork, and meeting new people. When you meet someone new you learn new things about that person. When I met mackenzie Johnson last year in soar class we had become friends. You can be in group and you need to use teamwork or others won’t like the way you act if you dont include them.

How would you feel if you or family were considered criminals, just because you wanted the best for them? That is exactly how eleven million people feel every day in the United States, these folks do not know if they are going to come back home with their families, they live frightened, though these individuals intend to do everything right, it seems like everything they do is dishonest, for the reason that, everyone calls them ‘illegals’ and as almost everyone may assume, there cannot be legally in someone illegal. If anybody questions myself, should undocumented immigrant acquire a path to citizenship? My response is yes; these people should be allowed to achieve a path to citizenship. In other words, they are not only hard working individuals, they also pay taxes, and benefit America’s economy.

Application for citizenship is different in every country and the United States and Canada demonstrate this fact. Although they both have similar basic structures, the U.S. system has more exceptions and a generally longer process. Both countries require Permanent Resident(PR) status and one must be 18 years of age or older to apply. They also both allow parents and guardians to apply for citizenship for their children and make exceptions to the general rules in those cases. While both require an extended physical presence in the country before they sign their application, Canadian law allows applicants to count days as a temporary resident or protected person towards that requirement whereas the United States does not; further, they differ in the details, as in the U.S., generally (there are exceptions), one must have not been out of the country for 30 months or more, must have not

The U.S. Senate recently passed a bill requiring high school students to pass a citizenship test in order to graduate and I think the test is unnecessary. Although the test only requires an thirty-five out of fifty questions (80%) to pass, it still causes stress among students. The test adds to the burden of the other various tests students are already required to take. The citizenship test is new and is not a part of the curriculum, so teachers typically don't spend a lot of time discussing and educating their students about it. If the students feel unprepared their stress level is likely to increase which could in turn affect their other school work. Yes, it is important that the people living in this country are educated and understand how

If you and your roommates live in a common dorm without similar background and culture, is it easy to have conflicts? How are you going to deal with those people? It is also a problem in our big family?

Citizenship is highly coveted in many nations, so coveted in fact that through only a few processes can one become a citizen for most nations, might that process be natural birth or naturalization. Citizenship and its privileges were also highly valued in Rome, except becoming a citizen was extremely difficult if not impossible. Roman citizenship also leads to assassinations and war within the Italian peninsula. There is a complex history to Roman citizenship.

In general, the realisation of the main principles and dimensions of citizenship, especiallyconcerning people’s rights, entitlements, and obligations, is chiefly determined by the nature ofthe state, which varies depending on its socio-historical context. Recent decades have seen manydeveloping countries emerge as neoliberal polities. Naturally, this shift has tremendousimplications for citizenship. This essay will use T.H. Marshall's classic theories of citizenshiprights — civic, political, and social rights (economic and cultural rights being subsets of socialrights). Neoliberalism denotes the rebirth of Adam Smith's laissez-faire economics, actualized byunfettered markets, free trade, privatisation, and fiscal austerity. Through analysis

In every form of government system we have two sides of the same equation, (people and power). The kind or form of the democracy depends how these two sides are balanced. The more democratic a democracy becomes the more and the better the two sides of equation will be balanced which means people which is the source of power in a democracy will have less propensity of their rights to be violated. There are two main concepts which are very important in a democracy and especially in a liberal form of democracy; the first is membership of the political community and second is the concept of citizenship which arises in relation to the membership of political community. This paper attempts to examine this relationship and argues that; first, citizenship
