# data[].attributes.body
1. Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities as citizens are important because it shows that us as people we actually do live in a free land and our voices are heard and also gives us a chance to be apart of our government.
2. The most important responsibility as a citizen is voting and interacting with the government because voting and interacting it helps the government and it also helps us as people, we get to have our voice heard and it shows that our government actually wants to show that this country is equal and its also free. In the gallery walk i've read some reasons why people couldn't vote and if we help those people it would be easier for everyone to vote for our government.
3. Some challenges people face when meeting this obligation or responsibility is not having easy access to vote and not having to wait for really long lines to vote. Not only that but some people don't have the availability to use transportation for many problems. For example financial problems. Yes the train or bus is "cheap" but not everyone has the money to spend for it. Another reason is people being out of town which is a reason why it may be harder for others to use transportation to get to one of the voting sites.
4. An obligation that hasn't been said in the week is the mandating of people getting vaccine shots. Some people are being forced because of cutting off the access of being able to go out with your family or loved one to a restaurant or a place people can enjoy time together they can't because "they aren't vaccinated". It's important because it's a problem people can go back and forth about. There's many reasons why people should be forced to get the shot and many reasons why people shouldn't be forced to get the Covid-19 shot.

1) fulfilling your obligation as a citizen is important to because it allows you to be apart of are community and government. Not including yourself would take away the power you have as a citizen.
2)The most relevant obligation is voting, simply because it allows you to choose how you want the country ran and who you trust to make decisions and for or country.
an example of this is "your vote may just be  one in a million but if you don't use it your letting others dictate how you will be governed". I agree with this statement because even if there are thousands of voters all votes can count and some thing as simple as 10 votes can change a election.
3) challenges people face with this obligation is not knowing were they can vote, not being registered and thinking there vote does not matter, this makes citizens feel they have no purpose to vote and makes them feel there vote holds no significance which is incorrect.
4) A obligation we have not discussed is paying taxes.This is a obligation expected from all of us that must be done. Not only does it help are government, it helps funding to lots of are schools and programs that we as citizens need.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Filling obligations and responsibilities as a citizen is important because they offer benefits for all of us. 2.) I feel like a obligation that is most important as a citizen is voting. I say that because a lot of people think that there vote doesnt count but it does. Evidence to support that would be "your vote may be just one in millions but if you don't use it youre letting all those other people dictate how you're going to be governed". 3.)Challenges people face with this obligation is that they are not registered or they just see no purpose in voting. 4) obligations that have not been discussed in this weeks work is vaccination.

3)A logical argument is that they ensure a citizen's ability to fully participate in the civil and political life of the state without discrimination or political repression, and protect the freedom of classes of persons and individuals from unwarranted infringement into those rights by governments, private organizations, and other entities.

4) One of the greatest achievements of the civil rights movement, the Civil Rights Act led to greater social and economic mobility for African-Americans across the nation and banned racial discrimination, providing greater access to resources for women, religious minorities, African-Americans and low-income families. Another great achievement from the Civil Rights Act is that prohibits discrimination in public schools because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Public schools include elementary schools, secondary schools and public colleges and universities.

5) Some responsibilities are that we might did not discuss this week were, stay informed of issues that are affecting our community and support and defend the constitution. About the Obligations, we talked about all of them In class. It's Important to obey your Responsibilities and Obligations because It'll make America a even better country little by little with all the Americans being good citizens.

1) Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities as a citizen is important because our government can't always protect our health, our safety, and our property so they are planned to help people get along with others.

2) The responsibility that I feel is most important is voting. Voting is very important for citizens to do because when citizens vote they are participating in the democratic process. An Obligation that I feel is most important is obeying the laws. All US citizens must always obey the law and pay for whatever can happen if a law is broken.

3) There are few challenges that people face when meeting the responsibility to vote. Based on a gallery walk that we did in class this week, people say that some of the reasons they don't like voting is because of having problems registering, the long lines, being busy on election day, and some don't support neither of the candidates.

4) One obligation that might not have been addressed in the work this week was people being forced to get the COVID-19 vaccines. This is important because some people are losing their lives over this vaccine and some businesses are losing their employees because they aren't vaccinated. I think people shouldn't be forced to get it because they have a right but it is better for them and their health; but the government shouldn't force people to get it.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The pandemic is also affecting in-person voting. Protocols around social distancing and masking are being enacted, again at the state and local levels, but many former polling places - such as schools and nursing homes - are considered too vulnerable to utilize. Especially as concern rises over long waits to vote, viable alternatives are sought. "There is a lot of uncertainty around both the safety of in-person voting and how in-person voting will occur," said Fung. "A lot of states are shifting around polling places and trying to accommodate increased early voting."

Who will staff those polling places is also a concern. Historically, retirees have made up the bulk of poll workers, but this population is at greater risk from the pandemic. "Some of the people who are the most reliable poll workers are also the most vulnerable," said Fung. Nonpartisan campaigns to recruit younger poll workers are ongoing. "One of the silver linings of this election is that a new generation of people will have the experience of working the polls," said Fung.

Another positive development is that many corporations are engaged in increasing voter participation. More than 1,100 companies, including Patagonia, Walgreens, and PayPal have joined the nonpartisan Time to Vote coalition, with many either giving their employees paid time off to vote or making other concessions, such as opening later on Election Day, Nov. 3.

Potentially undermining all these developments and the best of precautions is public opinion. "The confidence in our elections is weaker," said Fung. "There are legitimate concerns in how elections are administered and whether they are free and fair." These concerns come from across the political spectrum. "Some people think there is voter suppression," said Fung. "Other people think that there's some voter fraud."

Overall, Democrats favor lowering the bar and making access easier. There is a general belief that Democrats benefit from higher turnouts. Republicans historically have backed higher barriers that often include a focus on voter identity and other security measures.

"I think the remarkable fact about this election is that the outcome would not be in doubt, and we would not be having all this drama, if we had a national popular vote."

- Alexander Keyssar, Matthew W. Stirling Jr. Professor of History and Social Policy

For instance, in the upcoming election the GOP hopes to recruit an estimated 50,000 volunteers to act as "poll watchers" to ensure voters' legitimacy. Republicans have also set aside $20 million as a legal fund to resist attempts to enlarge voting rolls. The two parties are enmeshed in a battle in Florida about overturning a law that kept most convicted felons from voting. Both President Trump and Attorney General William Barr have voiced opposition to mail-in voting, saying it invites fraud, though they have not provided any evidence to support their claim. Citing his concerns, Trump has refused to say that he would unequivocally accept the result of the election should he lose.

Many of the complications around the election are being further tangled by the issues arising from the pandemic. "Part of what we're seeing is that these various problems are taking place in a climate that doesn't make it easy to solve them," said Keyssar. He cites the delays expected from the increased number of mail-in ballots. "It's very unlikely that the outcome of the election will be determined by election night," said Keyssar. "A number of states are not going to have had a chance to start counting ballots, and the current administration is trying to make it harder for people to count."

Citing the 2000 presidential election, when Florida's electoral vote was decided by the Supreme Court, Keyssar notes other possible complications, none of which are likely to promote voter confidence. "There is the question for any given state about who certifies the choice of electors and who certifies the electoral votes of that state," he said. When tallies are delayed or unclear, he said, "it may be legal and constitutional for a state legislature to choose electors by itself. The challenge is getting a transparent and clear outcome and getting broad popular consent to that outcome."

A recent article in The Atlantic hints at how difficult that might be. The piece reports that Republican Party officials told journalist Barton Gellman that the Trump campaign is considering pushing battleground states with GOP majorities in their legislatures to appoint electors who will support the incumbent should he lose in the voting, the justification being a concern over widespread fraud. Lawrence Tabas, Republican Party chair in the pivotal state of Pennsylvania, was quoted as saying, "I've mentioned it to them, and I hope they're thinking about it too."

"I think the remarkable fact about this election is that the outcome would not be in doubt, and we would not be having all this drama, if we had a national popular vote," Keyssar said.

Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities as citizens is important because it helps our communities become a better place. A responsibility I feel as a citizen is most important is voting because it gives you a voice. But not only voting is important but staying informed. Staying informed is important because knowing about the issues affecting your community you can make the right decision when voting. The challenges people face when meeting this responsibility is they feel their vote does not matter, being too busy, not caring, they do not agree with none of the candidates so they just decide not to vote for neither, long lines at voting stations and transportation. Another important responsibility that was not discussed is paying for public transportation such as trains and buses. People especially in the Bronx almost always jump the train or go back in the bus to avoid paying. This is because they refuse to pay the money that goes to the government to help those in needs.

According to the U.S Constitutional, voting is a right. Many constitutional amendments have been ratified. However, none of them made voting mandatory for U.S citizens, but everyone should vote. Voting is a privilege of citizenship and it is also a responsibility. By voting, citizens have the power and a voice in their government and ensure that the system is maintained. Everyone should vote from my perspective because without it we wouldn't be able to choose who will run the government so it is important to vote because if we don't use our vote, we let other people decide who's going to be in the government. Some difficulties that citizens face when it comes to voting is the problem with transportation or not wanting to vote because of the candidates, registration problems, or probably they are too busy.

1 : fulfilling your obligations and responsibilities as a citizen is important because we all contribute to making the world a better place when we do so. some obligations are paying taxes, serving on a jury , males enrolling for the draft and along with many other things can contribute to the list of our obligations as citizens. some responsibilities are staying enformed , voicing our concerns , and voting during elections just to name a few .

2 : our responsibilities in my opinion as citizen are more important because they apply to us more directly than an obligations do. For example voicing our opinions and concerns can help us by making the government aware and making a change about it sooner than later.

3: People struggle with voicing their opinions and concerns sometimes , especially african americans ,things like this result in changes taking very long to occur. Freedom wasnt served to the community for several years .

1.) Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities as a citizen is important because it helps the world come together and make sure that our communities are civilized and safe. While U.S. citizenship provides many rights. it also involves many responsibilities. Responsibilities of citizens include both those that are voluntary as well as those required by law. For example, people voting is a responsibility of the citizens of the world. It is our responsibility to control the outcome of elections to help build the voice of citizens in politics.

2.) The most important responsibility of a citizen is probably voting, when you are of age of course. I say this because this is one of the responsibilities that is completely voluntary. People chose weather they will vote or not. Voting helps the citizens of the world feel like their vice matters. Earlier this week, we did a gallery walk on voting and the excuses people use to not vote. If we were to improve those reasons, everyone would be voluntary to vote. Another responsibility I believe is important is obeying laws. Laws are put in place to help keep communities safe for those who reside in it. Following laws is very important.

3.) There are many adversities and problems citizens face when trying to vote. In the gallery walk that we did, some of the reasons that people answered as reasoning for not voting was the long lines, problems registering, too busy on election day, out of town, no transportation, and didn't favor candidates.

4.) One obligation that was not brought up this week was that people are being forced to take the COVID-19 vaccination shot. They haven't explicitly stated that citizens NEED the vaccine, however, they make it almost impossible to do anything without it. Some jobs require it, most restaurants require it for indoor dining, and in order to participate in sports clubs its needed. Although people are against it, it is a big responsibility for citizens to receive it. This vaccine, allegedly, is the start to ending the COVID 19 spread.

They ensure a citizens ability to fully participate in the civil and political life of the state without discrimination or political repression. Legal Counsel for Defendants is most important because everyone needs a defendant no matter what. The Sixth Amendment's guarantee of a right to assistance of counsel applies to criminal defendants in state court by way of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you. The supreme court protects civil rights and liberties by striking down laws that violate the Constitution. Gideon v. Wainwright 1963 addressed this. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you.

1. Fulfilling obligations and responsibility are expected of each citizen. Citizens fulfilling obligations and responsibilities represent the government and the whole purpose of constitution. People are expected to go to jury, vote, follow the laws, etc.
2. The responsibility that i feel is most important is voting. Voting whether it's for a president election or community has a huge impact on the choice of who's going to be the leader. However, despite the impact your decision has, the majority of citizens don't vote due to valid reasons or excuses. Such as, some people don't vote because they feel like their vote won't do much against millions of other votes. Another excuse would be that they never care enough to fit voting in their schedule. Citizens who have valid reasons come from low income areas rather high income areas due to lack of transportation(they have to rely on public transportation), long lines at voting stations, fear of losing their job, have people to take care of, etc. Whereas the majority of people who live in high income areas have cars, don't fear losing their job, and they take about a few minutes to vote.
3. An obligation that was not addressed this week was reporting foreign accounts. Foreign accounts include something called FATCA which is Foreign account tax accomplice which requires them to search their records. If a citizens combined holdings in foreign bank accounts that exceed $10,000 have to file a form called FBAR. FBAR is foreign bank account report. This is important because foreign institutions that may not be subject to the same reporting requirements as domestic financially institutions.

1) An explanation as to why fulfilling Obligations and responsibilities as citizens is important?

Its important to fulfill our obligations because it helps people do their job and make sure that everyone is being safe and wear masks as well.

2)  Create a logical argument using evidence from this week’s work that explains which obligation or responsibility you feel as a citizen is most important ?

its important to get vaccinated so you and your whole family doesn't end up in the hospital and possibility end up on the ventilator. The reason why the government wanted everyone to get vaccinated so the hospital rates doesn't go up.

3)  Based on the work from this week and your own understanding, what are the challenges people face when meeting this obligation or responsibility? Why?

This is a responsibility because if you don't want to put your or everyone you love or the people around you sick with COVID 19 then you need to get vaccinated  because its also your health that you need to worry about.

4)What are some of the obligations or responsibilities that might not have been addressed in the work this week? What makes it important?

The responsibility that we do like getting our shot of school is the same way we should do for the COVID 19 vaccines and if we don't show this generation or the next generation that we don't know how to protect ourselves from diseases i think this is why all children and parents should be made aware what we do to protect everyone.

Important update: Healthcare facilities

CDC has updated select ways to operate healthcare systems effectively in response to COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more

Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine for Yourself or Your Child

Find a Vaccine

Vaccines are now widely available. In many cases, you do not need an appointment.

The federal government is providing the vaccine free of charge to everyone ages 5 years of age and older living in the United States, regardless of their immigration or health insurance status.

90% of people in the United States live within 5 miles of a COVID-19 vaccine location.

Learn how to find a COVID-19 vaccine for you or your child.

At the Vaccination Site

Before you arrive, contact the site where you will be vaccinated or review your appointment confirmation email for details about what identification you may need to bring to your vaccination appointment.

When getting a vaccine, you or your child and your healthcare provider will need to wear masks that cover your nose and mouth. Stay 6 feet away from others while inside and in lines. Learn more about protecting yourself when going to get your COVID-19 vaccine.

You should receive a paper or electronic version of a fact sheet that tells you more about the specific COVID-19 vaccine you or your child received.Each approved and authorized COVID-19 vaccine has its own fact sheet that contains information to help you understand the risks and benefits of receiving that specific vaccine. Learn more about different COVID-19 vaccines.

After getting a COVID-19 vaccine, you or your child should be monitored on site for at least 15 minutes. Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and rare severe allergic reactions. ​

Ask your vaccination provider about getting started with v-safe, a free, smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccination. Parents and guardians can enroll children (ages 5 years and older) or dependents in v-safe and complete health check-ins on their behalf after COVID-19 vaccination. Register or sign into v-safe. Learn more about v-safe.

Getting a CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card

At the first vaccination appointment, you should get a CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card that tells you what COVID-19 vaccine you or your child received, the date you or your child received it, and where you or your child received it.

Keep this CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card for future use. Consider taking a picture of the card after your or your child's vaccination appointment as a backup copy.

If you did not receive a CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card at the first appointment, contact the vaccination provider site where you got your first shot or your state health department to find out how to get a card.

Bring your or your child's CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card with you to the next appointment if you or your child need another shot of COVID-19 vaccine so your provider can fill in the information about the shot.

Learn more about getting a CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Record card.

Getting a COVID-19 Vaccine with Other Vaccines

People can get a COVID-19 vaccine and any other vaccines, including a flu vaccine, at the same visit. Experience with other vaccines has shown that the way our bodies develop protection, known as an immune response, after getting vaccinated and possible side effects of vaccines are generally the same when given alone or with other vaccines. Learn more about the timing of other vaccines.

1.) Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities as a citizen is important because it helps us unite together as a whole and make sure that our constitution is good.

2.) I feel like voting is one of our most important responsibilities because we get choose who is running our nation. But it's also important because us citizens must make the right decision and pick the person that's benefiting and helping us the most to be in office.

3.) A major challenge that people face is paying taxes. The government enforcing people to pay taxes is a major problem. It's a major problem because the unfortunate people in the world who are barely making money are getting a large amount of their money getting taken out of their paychecks.

4.) One obligation that was not brought up this week was that people are being forced to take the COVID-19 vaccination shot. It's important because people are losing their jobs and even their lives over this vaccine. I feel like people shouldn't be forced to take it because they have a right and by the government enforcing it on some people their rights are being violated.

Fulfilling Obligations and responsibilities as citizens is important because it is our duty to serve and protect our country when needed. some examples are paying taxes, the draft , and being called to the jury. The most important obligation or responsibility I feel as a citizen that is most important to me is Voting. My reason for saying voting is that if you don't vote your money is on the line such as taxes, and its also like not voting is like giving up a voice that you be honored to have. Some challenges people face when meeting this obligation or responsibility is that some candidate's don't represent there view and values. Some people would want to vote but just cant, Election Day is on a Tuesday and a lot of people are busy on those days. what obligation that hasn't been talked about was how many people are being forced to get the COVID 19 shot. This is a obligation because many people are getting forced everyday to get them unless they lose there jobs.

 Rights and Responsibilities of American Citizens  By:Tasnima karim

# data[].attributes.body
1) Fulfilling Obligations and responsibilities as citizens is important because it helps our communities to become a better place to live.
2) I think following the law is the most important obligation for a citizen because a citizen must obey the law like voting,paying taxes etc.
Taxes are the primary source of revenue for most governments. Among other things, this money is spent to improve and maintain public infrastructure, including the roads we travel on, and fund public services, such as schools, emergency services etc so taxes in the big part that citizen should maintain.
3) The challenges people face when meeting this obligation of paying taxes is (1)the perception that enforcing tax laws on the public sector is a hard or even impossible (2) a fragmented VAT withholding system; (3) malfunctioning
e-filing and e-payment systems;

1)Fulfilling obligation and responsibilities as a citizen is important because we must be loyal to our nation and its is our duty as citizens to ensure that the constitution and the bill of rights are upheld.We must do right by our government for the government to protect our rights.

2)I feel that voting is an important responsibility because everyone is voting on who is going to lead our country.In my opinion many people are not aware of who they are voting for because many just vote on the most common and popular candidate because they are influence by other and i feel that they should do their research before and vote for who is less likely to take us to war or cause harm to our country.

3)Some challenges that many people face when voting is not correct registered to vote or not being able to vote due to age or immigration status also transportation or not wanting to vote on any of the candidates because they don´t support them.

4)I believe that as a citizen a responsibility that was not discussed and is important is respecting others opinions,beliefs and rights.This is because many people get harassed everyday by others due to them having different beliefs and povs on life and rights as a human and as a citizens many don respect others rights which is frustrating because i can agree based of things i have seen in social media for examples ¨karens¨ do not respect others rights and are not respectful at all towards society or public spacing.

1) As citizens fulfilling Obligations and Responsibilities is important because it is our duty as citizens to ensure that Constitution and the Bill of Rights are upheld.
2 ) I feel that our responsibility to vote is the most important.  Voting allows us as citizens to have a voice in our government. As citizens we vote for our leaders to represent us in the government and represent our ideas. We should be aware our right when voting and inform ourselves on who we are voting for.
3) Challenges people face when meeting this responsibility is the inconvenience of polls such as transportation and hours. A major problem is not finding a good candidate that represents their ideas/issues. Some states also require voter ID which can be difficult to get for some people to retrieve a the documents and some people have trouble with the  registration of voting.
4) An obligation that has not been brought up is the mandates due to Covid-19. Such as vaccination and mask mandates. It is important because it has turn into a such debated issue with determining whether or not these mandates violates people's rights.

1) Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities as a citizen is important because it will
allow the the democratic part in the constitution to be upheld by allowing the country to be run by the people.

2) Voting for the president is the most important responsibility since it allows people in the country to see who represent it, also voting for a state governor will allow you to see who's best to run the state in order to solve issues that're going on there even if it is fixing the streets or making peace with other countries.

3) Something that might challenge people in voting is that there's no where for them to vote around them and getting transportation might be difficult. Like in Texas where there really aren't trains or bus and people might need a car in order to vote somewhere that might be far, or maybe even in places with transportation like NYC the train or bus might be delayed because of all the people that'll need to go vote. Another challenge will be that the politicians don't meet the people's need since they might want one thing but the person believes that this person won't do that. An example could be how Trump pardoned war criminals who killed unarmed people in other country which doesn't exactly look good for someone who is president and is supposed to represent us. Also Biden when he used his own sons death as a political gain since it doesn't make him look good either because he isn't exactly saying issues he'll solve but rather using personal life issues for people to feel bad and vote for him.

4) Responsibility that we didn't pass on is giving information to the future generation in order for them to know what they should do in the future. This is important since it'll help improve society because it'll allow the next generation to know what to do rather then wait later on in life to "vote" or help there community become better.

1.  An explanation as to why fulfilling Obligations and responsibilities as citizens is important?
Fulfilling Obligation and responsibilities as citizens is important because it helps people get along with one another, prevent accidents, make sure resources are used fairly. If the people do not obey this; our government cannot maintain order, protect our health, safety, and property.

2. Create a logical argument using evidence from this week’s work that explains which obligation or responsibility you feel as a citizen is most important.

Voting is a very important responsibility that I believe all citizens should take accountability for because every vote counts and if you don’t vote it only will hurt you and your community because it would give someone else the opportunity to take on that vote and help them with who they vote on. The more people that vote the higher chance you can get in the election.

3. Based on the work from this week and your own understanding, what are the challenges people face when meeting this obligation or responsibility? Why?

Some challenges that people face when meeting this challenge of voting is some people don’t agree with the candidates that are going for presidency. A lot of people believe that their vote doesn’t matter because both of the candidates are not good for our country and think it’s not worth it.  For example in the case of Shelby County v Holder (2013) .

Something that should be obligation is pre-registering for voting at 16-17 . I that should be something that needs to be done so that things can be taken seriously .

Being a citizen means that there are obligations to fulfill. Paying taxes, serving on a jury when summoned, males registering for the draft, and more are all a part of our obligations. In my opinion staying informed is the most important obligation. Staying informed allows citizens to stay updated on events happening in their local and federal government. However it can be sometimes difficult to stay informed because some things might bee taken out of context or people my be spreading fake information. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S NJ passed a law banning spreading false information about the virus because their was a public interest. An important obligation that has not been addressed is community service. This obligation is often overlooked but it is important we take care of our community and its people.

Fulfilling obligations and responsibilities are important so that you have an active voice in your community/country. An example of this would be voting for your governor. When you don’t vote in local elections you don’t really have a say in who your governor will be, one vote makes a huge difference.  Some challenges people face are not having the right identification which their states voting laws require. This makes it harder for people who don’t have identification to vote because most of the time they can’t afford it. This happened in a case called Shelby County v. Holder (2013).   Something that was not addressed in this week's work is where do you go to register to vote or pre-register. I feel like this would have been beneficial information for us because a lot of our students are 18 and have not registered to vote yet. Some are not sure where to go. - Monet j.
