1) voting in elections- Its not a requirement but it is encouraged because it is apart of your future.

2) respect others (tolerate other's differences, etc.)- No matter how much you dislike someone, we still need to be nice and treat others how you want to be treated.

3)contribute to common good (volunteerism)- Try to help out your community the best you can. Volunteer in shelters, pick up trash around the community, and join community events.

4) be informed- Know who the candidates are and what they believe so you can pick the best candidates for the country.

5)participate (join a political party, etc.)- Join a charity in you local community, volunteer in your free time to help as much as you can and get to know your neighbors better.

3) Another way to help is to be conscious about what's around you. Whether it's picking up trash you see on the ground, giving money or food to people you see on the street (who you think genuinely needs help), or donating clothes that don't fit you to Good Will, Salvation Army, or people you know who may need them.
