Introduction In recent multicultural and globalized age, the number of immigrants tends to increase in many countries because many countries authorize right opportunity to their citizens to emigrate from their original birth countries to another. As consequence, the idea of citizenship became controversial subject by politically and personally perspective. Furthermore, dual citizenship was a disputed question within citizenship policies. In addition, Pogonyi (2011) claimed that from the nineteenth to half way through the twentieth, dual citizenship failed to be accepted by political policies, and also it was considered as political conflict compulsion. However, in recent decades citizenship policies of many democratic states have become widely incapable of adopting the changes and accepting dual citizenship. Pogonyi also argued that diffusion of the dual citizenship is often regarded as the …show more content…
The permanent residents in a country, who have particular duties and rights as full member in political community is, define as citizenship (Masilamani, 2015). Furthermore, the citizenship indicates that the comprehensive rights and privileges for citizens in modern nation state. The first concept of citizenship in modern society was made in early age by liberal thinker. During the historical evolution, the various groups of laborers, female, and blacks challenged against old concept of citizenship.

The contemporary concept became more flexible and open depends on political, cultural and social circumstances, which complements the limits in old concepts of liberal
Citizenship will always be a relevant concept because when you are a citizen of a particular country it comes with a sense of belonging. There is a feeling of pride when you become a citizen of a country. In particular, if your family is from that country it can help to gain a sense of community with those around you. It is important for people to feel that they are citizens of the same country as their children. Sometimes legal citizenship changes a person’s perspective and they feel that they belong but often there is still a chance people may be excluded based on external factors, for example, they have a different religion to the majority of a particular community. That’s why it is important for people to be social citizens as well so that they can

Cultural diversity from very beginning was existing in different nation There are Jews in Germany, Poles in Ireland, Asians in Canada and so on but the level at which Multiculturalism have reached today became a political issue for those countries which have cultural diversities.

P1 – Explain the range of meanings attached to citizenship, diversity and the associated terminology
This from of citizenship arose in the Treaty of West Phalli that ended the one hundred year war. The treaty stated that each state had economic sovereignty and control over its’ territorial boundaries. This form of citizenship is a way in which to delineate individuals of one nation from another. The concepts for which this form of citizenship is based on were created over four hundred years ago and are no longer an adequate way of looking at citizenship. Globalization and interdependence among various nations has challenged the idea of national sovereignty.
In James Buck essay, “citizenship and Military Service: The Quest for inclusion by Minorities and conscientious Objectors”, he discusses why every citizen in this our liberal democracies should be given equal status and recognitions in our political communities. He makes his analysis by comparing the various researches other social and political scientist have made about citizenship in the eighteenth centuries and how political inequalities have limited or change the realization of equal claim of citizenship. He also emphasizes that citizenship is not about the wealth or the amount of power one has, but it’s rather the respect and recognitions from our fellow citizen. He supports his argument with Max Weber studies that “the subject of class, power and status are relatively independent dimensions of ones standing in society”. He also discusses the “changes in
The United States is not the only country that questions the necessity for dual citizenship. This article is surrounding the issue of dual citizenship in Canada but it highlights similar issues to those brought up in debates on this subject in the U.S. The main argument is if people with dual citizenships should receive the same treatment as a plain citizen. Choosing to live in a particular country shows one’s commitment and membership to a country. By attempting to become a citizen of another country may seem like a betrayal of the original country. This article, similar to many op-eds surrounding this issue, uses ethos to prove its point. The morals surrounding criminal activity and its consequences are stated. The argument is how people
A dictionary definition of citizenship states it as a position of being a citizen in a particular country/ region. Nakano Glenns definition is much more concentrated, focused on the details, and combines this status of citizenship along with gender and race. Glenn shows how the definition of citizenship changes when including race as well as gender and how this meant that white men were mainly seen as rightful citizens while minorities were effectively left out of this definition. Glenn writes in chapter two titled, Citizenship: Universalism and Exclusion, about integrating the definitions of race as well as gender into the meaning of citizenship. Glenn makes an effort to assert the historical authenticity of the meaning of citizenship,
To be a citizen, means to be a member of a nation. It truly is an honour to be a member of the Canadian nation. As Canadians, we have many privileges and advantages that makes us proud.

I think that a federal court can exercise jurisdiction over the parties based on diversity of citizenship. According to the textbook, "when parties to a lawsuit are from different states, a federal court can exercise diversity jurisdiction if the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. Total diversity of citizenship must exist, however.” In this case, because Joe and Kay were not from the same state, it is a diversity suit. Moreover, “The statute does not mention the citizenship of partnerships, LLCs, and other unincorporated associations, but the courts have tended to regard these entities as citizens of every state of which their members are citizens.” If Café Ole was a corporation, the state citizenship of the owner would be unimportant.
Over the past 300 years, many people immigrate to developed countries for better welfare, their families or other reasons but some countries restrict immigration for avoiding excessive migrants, such as the United States and Britain. One of the main reasons why people support the policy is that they think immigration brings a lot of disadvantages to their country. It goes without saying that some people will be dissatisfied on restriction immigration policy because they firmly believe their interests are damaged. Moreover, people should attempt to understand the perspective of others is that the benefits which are brought by immigration, such as the positive financial impacts, have little or no effect on crime rates and cultural diversity,

The way of being appointed to become a senator has been undemocratic in nature from its creation. There are very few written rules and principles to appoint individuals, and very few rules for senators to successfully represent the region they reside in due to political patronage and partisanship.
To understand how U.S. citizens that legally declare more than one citizenship, and thus participate in multiple cultural identities, first, it is important to analyze power and culture, then how the physical body of these individuals move through the spaces that enable their dual citizenship. Power exists in many forms, from the way in which society is structured through basic laws of existence, to the power that governs social behavior and the ways in which we understand the world in its entirety. Systemic power structures even the ways in which immigrants who hold green cards, or refugee status become citizens, and is deeply embedded in a flawed United States immigration system. The way in which this legal power is portrayed in citizenship
