They don’t allow society to tell them what is right or wrong, and if they feel that something is wrong, they will speak up and fight for what’s right.

Elizabeth Eckford is a prime example of a citizen because she fought for her education, despite how people felt at the time. When members of society, even people in charge, tried to hold her back, she continued to prosper and get her education. Now she is a role model for not only African American students, but for individuals all over]]> 2017-09-01 13:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184189588 Lauren Griffin https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184189741 Before I though citizenship meant people recognized by the government that do there civic duties and civic responsibility. Now, I believe a good citizen to be one who is fair to all and critiques their government for the betterment of the country. A good community citizen knows the problems around them and tries to help in any way possible. A good national citizen knows who their representative is and knows how to advocate for change. A good global citizen stays up to date with the politics between their country and other countries.
Mother Teresa is a good citizen because she set up shelters for those in need of shelter, food, and water. As a result of Mother Teresa's kind heart, many other shelters were established and homelessness was minimized. ]]> 2017-09-01 13:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184189741 Jasmine Freeman https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184189829 Before reading Thoreau's Disobedience, I thought a citizen was someone that lived in the country to help out. After reading I believe that a citizen is someone whom helps improve the country making it a better place for people to live in.
Michelle Obama is example of a citizen because she tried to make schools eat healthier, to minimize obesity.]]> 2017-09-01 13:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184189829 Lindsey Lorsbach https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184189921 Before I though citizenship meant people following their civic duties and participating in some civic responsibilities. Now I believe a good citizen is someone who challenges the majority to try to cause a change.

I believe a good citizen is a person who follows there belief and there conscious to make the right decisions on the day to day basics.

Cam Newton is a good citizen to his community and to the nation because he has helped students with there educational needs and physical needs by creating strong relationships with in communities. he does this by hosting events and creating programs on different focus areas. He has hosted football camps where he gave tips to young and aspiring athletes.

Now I believe a good citizen who performs civic duties and civic responsibilities, but keeps in account their morals and what they believe in while doing so. In Civil Disobedience he talks about how your personal morals have to become before the civil duties and civil responsibilities, so you don't become a pawn of the nation. So you stay pure and true to yourself. A good citizen in the community is someone who performs their civic duties and civic responsibilities by paying taxes, going to school, voting, volunteering, etc., but also stays true to themselves and what they believe in. A good example of a good citizen in our community is someone who performs all those duties and responsibilities, but for example fight for what they believe in peacefully like with the West Lake Landfill. A good citizen of the nation was Martin Luther King who
performed his civic duties and responsibilities, but also stood up for what he believed in and what he felt was right. He didn't follow laws that went against his morals and ended up fighting and creating change. A good citizen of the world is the people of the holocaust who hid Jewish families and snuck Jewish people and kids out of places where Jews were being killed. They stood for their morals and risked their lives in order to fight for what they believed is right. To be a good citizen in the community you should show up for local elections and vote, perform of juries, volunteer, etc. A good citizen of the nation votes in presidential elections, pay taxes, stay connected in politics, follows laws and peacefully protests if there is need to protest. A good citizen of the world stays connected in world politics, doesn't pollute the world, and treats the world right. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:17:18 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184229767 Maria Vincent https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184230175 Before i thought that a citizen was someone who followed what the government wanted them to do and they were a good citizen in the governments eyes. Now i believe that to be a good citizen you should speak your beliefs and challenge the government. If no one spoke on what was truly right then there would be unjust laws. A citizen of a community helps to better the community by expressing their beliefs on what would make their community better or safer. a good citizen of the nation doesn't only think about their small community and thinks about what would be best for their nation. A good citizen of the world thinks not only of communities and nations but the good of the earth itself. without the world we live in we would have nothing.

Chris Paul is a good citizen of his community and our nation. He actively participates in events and fundraisers for underprivileged children and people in need. He also spoke his mind at the ESPY awards on recent violence and said that others should speak their mind as well. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:18:45 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184230175 Katrina Owen https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232608 Before reading Thoureau's Civil Disobedience, I thought that a citizen was a person of a country who followed civil duties and civil responsibilities. Now I believe that to be a good citizen, you perform civic duties and responsibilities as well as keeping your personal morals in check. Challenging the government is a good way of showing citizenship because you are standing up for what you believe in. Being a good citizen in a community, nation, and world are all very similar. Citizenship is a worldwide/universal general idea.
Martin Luther King Jr. is a good citizen because he stood up for what he believed in no matter the consequences. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232608 Sarah Harris https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232845 Before, I thought a citizenship meant being someone who is involved in their community as an individual and supports the community and in the nation. Now, I believe a good citizen to be someone who participates in everything that surrounds them and being aware of the nation around them as well. A good citizen now means that you are not afraid to speak on wrongs and social injustices in the community or in the nation, and doing anything you can to improve things in your community/nation. Malcolm X represents a good citizen because he was not afraid to voice his opinions no matter what. Malcolm also gave back to his community on various occasions, and also tried to better his community as well. He spent his time educating people one what was going on, and that to me is the definition of a good citizen. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232845 Matthew Feldewerth https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232894 Before I thought citizenship mean]]> 2017-09-01 15:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232894 Dajah Barker https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232962 Before I thought citizenship meant being a person who is just a resident/citizen in a country. Now I believe a good citizen to be someone who doesn't just live in a country but someone who cares about what happens in that country. A citizen should not be scared to fight for what they believe in and should be proud to want to make a difference in a corrupt environment.
Rosa Parks risked her life to make a difference and she succeed. Parks's refusal to move to the back of the bus and stand so a white man can sit down made a huge impact and started an era of African Americans no longer using public transportation. Once Parks's was convicted the local black community started a bus boycott that lasted over a year. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184232962 Amber Osborn https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233000 Before reading Thoreau's Civil Disobedience, I thought that a citizen was a person that followed the laws the government set. Now I believe a good citizen is someone that should voice their opinions in order to know if the law they're following is morally right or wrong. I picked Melanie Royce as good citizen because she is in the top ten oncologists in the country. She's helped in the study of different types and causes of cancer, donated to foundations that study the kinds of cancer, and has changed the lives of many of her patients.]]> 2017-09-01 15:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233000 Kristen Schnur https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233016 Before I thought citizenship meant that a citizen that helped people in need and follow the laws. Now I believe a great citizen is some one who helps out the community any way they can, when they can.

Now I believe a good citizen is one that not only contributes to society through their duties, but also their responsibilities within their home country. Being a good citizen also means being globally aware, traveling to other countries and being able to respect their laws and culture.
Pope Francis is a good citizen because any time he visits another country or religious nation he respects the laws and beliefs of the country and helps every person he can. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233020 Audreonna Nebbitt https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233122 before I thought a citizen was someone that was apart of a country, community but now I believe a citizen is someone that is actually involved with their country

Now I see that a citizen as different sectors (community, national, global) that has to to all three work in one and work together. In a community someone should take care of the people are them, in a nation a citizen should follow the laws and participate in legal rallies that support minority rights, and globally a citizen should put other people first and focus on the future of the earth's environment and the health of the global economy.

But now after actually reading his articles, I view citizenship as so much more; including, voting rights, working opportunities, educational opportunities, etc. Citizens should always be involved with the interactions of their country, but should also be an advocate of standing for what YOU as a person believe is morally right.

I am choosing my best friend, Victoria Okara-Ezeufo. She is a strong advocate of great citizenship in my eyes, and to many others. She knew what was happening at her school was something she totally disagreed with, and she stood tall, which made others follow after her. She voiced her opinion and she got the outcome she wanted. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233570 Will Rickelman https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184233589 Before I thought that being a citizen was somebody who followed rules or laws but now I believe a citizen is someone who speaks there opinion in their community and also in their country.

Now I believe a great citizen is a someone who keeps their morals and never changes for anything or anyone.

A good citizen in a
community: Someone who is respectful & follows laws
Nation: Keeps everything elevated & equal
World: A role model you'd want to follow

I chose Nelson Mandela because he kept his morals and never stopped fighting until he received what he was wanting

A good citizen didn't have to be the one who have a good creative minds and even if they don't have a good creative mind there are a lot of peoples who have a great and more than the creative peoples who are grate thinkers and who are kind and useful peoples for their countries and for their peoples
also a good citizen meant peoples who help other who beliefs in helping each other and who didn't think about their self only .
by the way everyone is a good citizen in the
own way and in every situation I are one of a good citizen too because I help others as much as I can
For me a persons who represent good citizen is soldiers because they are giving there life and time for their country and for the other citizens they are dying for their community too .

Now, I know that being a citizen not only means being a part of a community, but participating and completing ones civic duties such as serving on the jury and civic responsibilities like voting

A good community citizen is one who helps stop crime and keep their community clean. A good Nation citizen is one who looks out for all as a whole to help protect their freedom and well-being. A good world citizen is not only one who looks out for their people, but also shows concern to the well-being of other nations/people around the world, and do what they can to participate in funding and support of those in need.

I think a good citizen is Muhammad Ali, a Champion boxer and great character. who refused to fight in the Vietnam war and became a champion of civil rights and African interests.
(When asked how he would like to be remembered, Ali said: “As a man who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love.”)]]> 2017-09-01 15:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184234277 Brittany Bell https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184234683 Before, I thought a citizen was simply anyone who lived in a specific area and therefore belonged to group of people who also live in that area. Now I believe a good citizen is someone who follows laws, until they no longer believe in what they stand for. After reading Civil Disobedience I realized when you comply to laws simply because they are laws you are not being a good citizen and could very well be causing harm in someone else life. ]]> 2017-09-01 15:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184234683 Shawn Hulahan Before I thought you had to be born in the U.S. citizen.

After further reading and study, I realize now that citizenship is more than a legal designation. A citizen is a member of the society in which that person lives in. Whether it is a school, town, state, country, or even the entire Earth. We can never escape citizenship, we can only improve our lives in the places we live. Just because someone does not follow laws, does not mean they aren't any more a less a citizen as everyone else.

Robert Ripley, who made "Believe it or Not," is a perfect example of a good citizen. He traveled the world creating funny cartoons with cool interesting facts about what he saw. He took risks and really challenged the limits about what a citizen can do.]]> 2017-09-01 15:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184235201 Tyler Rahn https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184236136 Before I thought citizenship meant being born in a specific place and following the laws that come with that place. Now after reading Civil Disobedience, I believe a good citizen to be somebody who follows laws that they believe to be moral. And they do not give away their independence and conscience to always follow the people in power. Also a good citizen is somebody who responds to their civic duties, and participates in civil responsibilities. A good citizen in the community would be somebody who is active in local politics, and who cares about what is going on in their local community. They will participate in local elections and stay educated about what is happening in their area. A good citizen of the Nation would be somebody who follows National Law, as long as they believe it to be morally acceptable. They will also participate in voting, and will stay educated on what is going on in the Nation as a whole. A good citizen of the world would be somebody who is paying attention to what is going on in the entire world, and makes daily life decisions based on what they believe is right. They will also try to contribute as much as they can to global efforts. Such as charity or donations to Nations who may have just had a National Disaster. JJ Watt would be an example of a good citizen in the Nation because he is aware of what is happening in Houston and through out Texas right now with the flooding, and has raised over 13 million dollars for relief funds.]]> 2017-09-01 15:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184236136 Kayla Brown https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184236159 Before I thought citizenship meant to be born into a country and reside their but now I believe a good citizen is Oprah Winfrey ]]> 2017-09-01 15:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184236159 Morgan Mckinney https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184237517 Before, I thought a citizen was someone who followed the rules.

Not all citizens are "good" to someones standards. Most "good" citizens in history are the ones who voice their opinion against the government. They stand up for what they believe in and don't let anything or anyone stand in their way. I aspire to have the courage of the Naval nurses who put everything they had into their job during Pearl Harbor. They adapted quickly and throughly to the situation at hand and I hope to be as influential to the people as they were when I become a Naval nurse. https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184249388 2017-09-01 16:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184249388 Kiara Pukas https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184249544 Before I thought that being a citizen was just being born in that country, or taking the test to become a citizen. But now i realize that it is more then just that. Being a citizen dose not mean you have to run for office or do 1,000 community service hours. Being a citizen is to vote for what you think is right, being informed.Its not following the laws, yes some laws are important like paying your taxes things like that, but if you feel a law is morally wrong, then go against it, don't follow it. fighting for what you believe in is whats right, not just something the next president says. Civil disobedience is the refusal to comply with certain laws or to pay taxes and fines, as a peaceful form of political protest.

Now I believe a good citizen is someone who will stand up for not only their rights but others also. A good citizen will put others needs before theirs especially if the others are worst than them. They also are not afraid to stand up for whats right or whats wrong in a society, they will be fearless in everything that they do or say but also respectable. They not only demand respect but also give it . A good local citizen gets involved with not only their communities but all that they can reach. A good nation citizen gets the attention of the people to get them more involved and they get higher parties to participate in the improving communities. A good world citizen has the voice to reach millions and the strength to carry them beyond great depths to achieve good around the world.
Michelle Obama to me is the prime example of what a good citizen is and what it takes to be a good citizen. She knows that not every one person is the same so you have to approach every situation differently and with a plan for success. She is very respectable and a stand up example of what we want every citizen to strive to be.]]> 2017-09-01 16:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184249678 Gerald Hooper https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184249914 Before I thought that being a citizen meant following the law and stand under the government and follow orders and accepting your punishment regardless of what it was.

However now after reading civil disobedience by thoreau and now what I can say about now about citizenship is that there a certain point that citizen stand blindly too their government however a person standing up can make the spark of a revolution.

For me a citizen will never give up even if all odds are against them.

For me nationally a good citizen who can keep there word to there fellow man most often at least.

World wise listen to the people be for the people and trust the people and help the people when they can.

Kennedy is who I chosen because after world war 2 and the cuban war he carried the weight on his shoulders and he spoke to the American people and in the end was betrayed by the same people but if it wasn't for him we could have been in world war 3 way easier.

Now I believe a good citizen of the U.S.A. is someone who stands up for what if morally right regardless of shame will fall down on them. After reading Civil Disobedience I concluded that citizenship is also not following the laws of the government blindly, without question. For me a good citizen is someone who lives by their own rightful morals accordingly without judgment of what other peoples opposing opinions are. Matthew Mcaughnahey is my example of a good citizen because he abides by his own right morals and is constantly trying to make the world a better place through his charities.]]> 2017-09-01 16:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184250008 Eileen Yosefyan https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184250320 Before, I thought a citizen was a person who was born in the US. I now know that a citizen is a person who follows what they think is right even if it may or may not be. Being a good citizen in the community means not causing any problems to society. An example of being a good citizen to the world is picking up trash off the streets so the world isn't polluted. Being a good citizen for the world is voting for a president that is going benefit us and not bring us into trouble. An example of I chose Justin Bieber as an example of a good citizen for both Canada and the US because he always donates and helps people in need.

But now i realize that people follow the laws because not only because they have too, but during their time following the laws also gives them the chance to follow their own dreams and beliefs.

However, after reading "Civil Disobedience," I now believe a citizen is someone who is apart of a society, does the best they can to help improve their society, and does those things in a way to do no harm to anyone who disagrees. An example of a good citizen in my community is my cousin Rena because she dedicates every single day of her life to help dogs in need and expects nothing in return. An example of a good citizen in my nation is Miley Cyrus because she stands up for what she believes in and does anything in her power that she can to make a good impact on our country. An example of a good citizen from around the world is Mulala because she spreads what she believes in a peaceful manner all around the world and encourages everyone to be peaceful and stand up for what they believe in. An example of a person who represents an all around good citizen to me is Ghandi. Ghandi when the British was trying to take over India stood up for what he believed in so humbly. He was beat, hit, and abused countless times and never once did he stop standing up for what he believed in, and never once did he harm a single person in the process.]]> 2017-09-01 16:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184250496 Tori Taylor https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184250530 Before I thought being a good citizen was just as simple as doing what you know best, following the rules regardless of the maker. Now I believe being a good citizen is doing what you think is morally right or wrong. We all have our own voice, thoughts, and actions and aside from anyone else's view of your choices, your participation a citizen of the U.S. is all that matters. Civil Disobedience is defines in a variety of ways but to me it means disobeying unjust laws only to share what you think is right. An example could be from the Civil Rights Movement and everyone who acted in it. In a community, volunteering anywhere or just helping out others in general makes a good citizen. In a nation, acting in elections, sharing your opinion and respecting others' thoughts creates a good citizen. Globally, being a good person and participating in many economical event makes you a good citizen.

I think Zendaya is a good citizen because she does a lot for the public and especially for the young women of this generation by not only being a good role model but encouraging others to do the same. Whether it's about someones body figure, background, or involves the law, you know what's right and you have the right to express that.

Now I believe that a citizen is a person who does things for the good of people and not the majority because of a biased opinion from the government. And that the majority rule is not what is always best and shouldn’t be considered as a deciding factor for determining a good from a bad citizen. A good citizen
in a community could be a student at a school. They go to school and follow rules, and also respect the school environment. I think a good citizen in a nation is a person who pays there taxes and does everything the government requires. A good global citizen is someone who contributes to the world as it changes and adapts to their new environment.

But now I know its more than just that, a true citizen is someone that supports the others and tries to make the world a better face. For me, a good citizen in the community volunteers and goes to and helps out at local school events and parks. A good national citizen loves and cherished their country. A good world community is someone that cares about the world, everyone on Earth is family. We all need to live together loving and in peace. Someone that I think is a great citizen for our community is Dennis McFarland, or Mac. Mac is the band director at Pattonville High School. He leads the marching band to play at football games and in parades.

There is more to it then just that being a good citizen is when seeing a problem addressing it and taking action making it be heard.

Now I believe that a good citizen someone who doesn't always conform to the laws, they stand up for what they believe in, and for what is right and just. Even if it means having to break the law I believe that it shows true character when someone stands for what they believe in. I also think that a good citizen is someone that does follow the law, but also keeps there stance against something they don't believe in. Also someone that contributes to the betterment of their community and in their country.

I chose Beyonce because she has contributed so many causes all over the world. She stands up for what she believes in with her music and her words, and she impacts so many people around the world.

Now after reading Civil Disobedience, I think that being a good citizen is still trying to obey the rules of the place you live in, but still being able to determine if the rules are moral or not and base their actions on their judgement, morally. A good citizen in a community could be a teacher that goes to work everyday to teach children about the world around them and provides knowledge to children. A good citizen in the nation could be a governor that help better the state it represents. A good citizen of the world is one that is one that respects the environment and tries to relay kindness in the world.

He's a good local citizen because he has given back to his local community not just with money but through service acts, and time.

Now I believe that good citizens follow through with their beliefs and don’t follow an unjust government. Civil disobedience presupposes that one cannot obey a law, because it is unjust, that is, not morally right.

They go above and beyond for their country.

Now, I believe that good citizens are those that put action into what they believe in. Or those who follow what they think is right. They need to go above and beyond to make sure what they believe in is not ignored. They still need to follow laws but if they do not believe in them they should argue or defy them (stick up for their beliefs) knowing the risk in voicing their opinion.

They do all this while still obeying their civic duties and following a majority of their civic responsibilities though they may not be required.

A person that I believe resembles my opinion of a good citizen would be Roman Atwood. Although he may only be a YouTuber, he spreads a clear message to millions of his subscribers: Smile More. With every video he makes you are seeing his life, present and past. He shows how there is always a reason to smile no matter what happens. You will occasionally get to hear his opinions on major problems with the world.

A good example of a citizen would be George Clooney. Even though he is mostly know as an actor, he is also a political activist.

But that dose not mean that they can't 'bend' the laws already in place. Lets use an analogy to help me better explain this. Lets say that there is a group of people surrounded by a wall, the wall represents the laws in place. Yes the 'wall' restricts them to some degree but it also keeps them safe. I see civil disopediance as an act of breaking the 'wall'. What I suggest is no to break the 'wall' but to work within the 'wall' and over time slowly push at its edges and mold it into what you desire.

Murdoch Murdoch is the sudo name and identity of a right-wing political cartoonist/comedian. While there are also two others who are close friends to Murdoch and help him with is animations, there sudo names being: Dr. Murdoch and Murdoch Chan. These three people represent three different groups within the right. Murdoch Murdoch representing the Libertarian party, Dr.Murdoch the Nationalist movement and Murdoch Chan representing the Nation Socialist party. But I'm only going to be focusing on Murdoch Murdoch. I believe that Murdoch is a good citizen because through his political cartoons and animations he has 'Red Pilled' many people, but what I love most about him is how he red pills his followers.

When trying to change someone ideology you can not force them into It, you also can't make it seem like you were the one to red pill them. You have to make them feel like they came to there own conclusion through there own research and study. The best way to do this is to just 'drop' in tidbits of information that will catch the audiences eyes. You have to make them double take and think "wait that can't be true" because of this they will most likely look up on there own time and accord what ever you just dropped in and hopefully through there own study they will come to the same or similar conclusion as you did. Murdoch and his partners do this perfectly.

Changing someone ideology is similar to working within the laws to change the laws. You can not rush the process, you have to ease them into it and make them feel like they are making there own decision.]]> 2017-09-01 18:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/184295369 Essance Williams https://padlet.com/katkorte/u3ygt0l3oghr/wish/185135310 Before, I thought a good citizen was someone who followed the rules and respected everyone and their property.

But slowly after I began to take Government my perception of a citizen has changed and Thoreau taught me that. In Civil Disobedience he was the type of person that would not follow the Government laws because he believed they were not constitutional or represented the nation of how it should be.
