The duty of a citizen is to participate in political issues, such as voting, voicing their opinions and following the law. In assignment 5.1, it demonstrates what the process a citizen would do before electing a candidate for a political position. Every citizen is legally able to vote at the age of 18 and should do their research on the candidates before voting. By voting and participating, you use your voice and act towards what you believe in. I think this is important concept since civics is based on its people and the people should be engaged in order for their voices to be heard.

This is an important concept because citizens need to know their rights and value to the US government. I selected this assignment because it shows the details within the US government and how it works around its people

The start and foundation of government has started back many ages ago. it has been rebuilt and fixed to benefit the customs of the people living in the country or area. In Unit 2.1, I learned that different places around the world started creating laws for the people and authority to create balance. This assignment allowed me to see how long the history it took to get to the government we have today, and how it is still changing for the better of the people.

Overall, civics is made up of many concepts to combine and become this whole idea that focuses on bettering the government. It relates to the citizens rights and duties in the country/ type of government they live in. Without civics and knowing the type of government you are living in, it can be very hard to function daily life, especially when it comes to political matters.

I have learned how to use many tools throughout this course like padlet and canvas. I have learned new skills like how to make engaging and eye-attracting work that looks appealing to others. I have more familiarity with downloading and designing on the computer now due to using these tools frequently. My advice to other students is to keep a schedule for when to do assignments, so that you do not fall behind, since e-school is a lot different from in-person day school.
