Answer 1

This is going to take me a long time, but I have a few spare minutes =D

Okay . . . I can be one of the 3 people you need that are under 18.

What are the qualities of a good friend?

To be there for you

Willing to help in your hour of need

Stick together through and through

Friendly

Polite

Not too bitchy

Can keep her mouth closed ( When told a secret )

What do you want and need from a friend?

All of the above ^^ and for them to appretiate you, and not try and change you ( Clothing, Hair, Image, Opinions, Reasons etc. )

What are you willing to give a friend?

All the things that I want from them.

To help them out if they have problems

( Bullying, Problems at home, Relationship issues etc. )

What are the qualities of a good neighbor?

To look out for the house when I go on holiday

Friendly

Polite

Respects your property or garden

( Not throwing footballs across, damaging plant pots, climbing over the fences etc. )

How is being a good friend related to being a good neighbor?

You can be a good friend to the neighbor, get to know them better, invite them round for a drink / meal.

Also all the qualities you want from a friend, you will want from a neighbour. Eg, Friendliness, Polite etc.

Is there a relationship between the two?

I believe their is a relationship between being a good friend and being a good neighbour, as you can improve on both friendships and relationships, however there can be disadvantages to, like you can fall out with a friend and a neighbor pretty easily, sometimes over a small misunderstanding.

How does being a good neighbor relate to being a good citizen?

Well, being a good citizen in my mind is :

- Helping out the community.

- Being a friendly face

- Being approachable

- Looking out for other people in the community, both young, teens and elderly people.

I think that a neighbour can also have all these qualities that a good citizen and perhaps more - Watching out for the house whilst you are away, reporting any suspicious sightings in the garden - attempted burgulary perhaps.

Is it possible to obey all the laws but still not be a responsible citizen?

Yes it is - A responsible citizen is all of the above I stated ^

( In my opinion of course. )

For example -

A person may never commit a sin in their life, or commit a crime, they may be angelic. However they may also be a sour-faced person, by this I mean, They stay out of trouble but at the same time aren't bothered about anyone else - Except keeping themselfs save and making sure they aren't getting into any trouble and to them it may not mean a thing if someone is being attacked in the street, outside their house - They may turn a blind eye on it - So they don't get into trouble for reporting it.  Which in my mind, isn't a good citizen - As they aren't watching out for people in their local community.

What are the qualities of a good citizen?

A good citizen should always try and :

Attend local council elections.

Take a responsible role of helping the community - More litter bins, more football areas, places for teenagers to go so they aren't bored.

A good citizen could also help out at a local school night class, or college class, if they have any skills that would help other students/people, that would make them a good citizen as they are helping people as much as they can.

Trying to keep the local streets clean - Maybe No dropping litter signs, Clean up your dog signs etc.

Possibly trying to get CCTV in the area, if it is a fairly bad area, where a lot of attacks / robberies etc take place.

Getting the whole community ( or trying to ) to take part in different religions - This may also help to calm racism problems in a community - By getting a varied ammount of different religions and beliefs, so they can all understand each others beliefs and religions and why they follow that certain religion. It could also be interesting for both the organiser and the people who attend.

I hope that helped you - it will be my longest ever answer on answers !! Good Luck anyway =D

Answer 2

I’m 5 and a half months into my majority, so I suppose that makes me an adult.

What are the qualities of a good friend? What do you want and need from a friend? What are you willing to give a friend? Write at least five qualities.

A good friend is loyal, understanding, like me enough that we can relate, and different enough to entertain, familiar enough with my sense of humor to laugh at my jokes. I like my friends to be unpredictable to me, but often find that they aren’t. I need to be able to respect my friends, and I want them to respect me. I also want them to understand me, which is rare. What am I willing to give… I don’t think we can know that until we are called upon to give it. Material things, if there were a need. A listening ear. It’s hard to say.

What are the qualities of a good neighbor? How is being a good friend related to being a good neighbor? Is there a relationship between the two? Explain your answer.

A neighbor minds his own darned business. A neighbor is courteous, above all else. Willing to help if there is a need, but not wont to force help on you. Friendly at chance meeting in the driveway or garden, willing to talk about inconsequential things. Usually the weather. A neighbor is very little like a friend unless you happen to be friends with your neighbor. I’m rarely courteous to my friends; it’s just not how we communicate. Friendship is moving beyond courtesy.

How does being a good neighbor relate to being a good citizen? Is it possible to obey all the laws but still not be a responsible citizen? Is it possible to break the law but still be a good citizen? Don’t just answer “yes” or “no.” Explain your answers.

Just that: courtesy. Following the law is, mostly, being a courteous neighbor to the whole nation. As such, along with common courtesy, it isn’t as common as it should be. The idea of being a “responsible citizen” encompasses following the laws, and if one followed all of the laws and did nothing more, I would still call him/her a responsible citizen. But there is more to it than that. I’d say that someone who goes out of their way to see that the law is followed, as long as the keep within the unspoken laws of courtesy, is an EVEN MORE responsible citizen. That does not discount the first person, though. Not everyone can report drunk drivers and rescue kittens. It is possible to break the law and still be a good citizen, because like the idea of “responsible citizens,” this idea can encompass somewhat more than merely the law. Leaving aside civil disobedience as a form of political participation, if someone breaks the speed limit (a law) in order to, say, get a family member to the hospital, they would still be considered a good, “upstanding” citizen despite their disregard for the law. There are other examples, but none that I can call to mind at the moment.

What are the qualities of a good citizen? In your response, consider how good citizenship is expressed in all eight of these areas: family, laws, religion, education, environment, local community, humankind and government.

To tackle them separately:

Family: Citizenship has little to do with family. I think the source of that bit of question stems from confusing patriotism with Christianity, thereby making a “good citizen” equivalent to a “good person.” I could be a bad person and a good citizen, if my motivation for being the latter was that following the laws and helping others is a way of helping myself. Don’t break family-related laws, respect your family. Law: Follow the laws and don’t break them, unless it is necessary to protect yourself or others from immediate harm or danger. Religion: religion has NOTHING to do with good citizenship. ETHICS do, and ethics exist independently from religion. I know some bad atheists, but I know a good number of worse Christians. It has to do with individual ethics, not religion. That said, adhering to a strong ethical code, above and beyond the law, but in accordance with it, is the mark of a good citizen. Education: assuming traditional ethics, if you can do good to others by furthering your education, then it is a mark of a good citizen. Being educated about citizenship and the makings of a good citizen is another way of being one. Likewise, furthering the education of others can be good. Environment: Don’t go out of your way to harm the environment. Don’t litter. In theory, recycling is good, walking is good, riding a bike rather than taking a car is good. But, realistically and pragmatically, one person does NOT make a difference, no matter what they tell you. You can drive your SUV everywhere and still be a good citizen. Local community: Vote. The more local it is, the more your vote and your opinion matter. Volunteer, if you think you can help in some specific way. Mainly, never harm the community. Again, there are levels of being a good citizen; even if you never raise a hand to actively help the community, as long as you aren’t harming it, you can be a good citizen. Humankind: respect humankind. Be able to acknowledge and rejoice in its achievements, and count them as your own. We are all human. But altruism is not the only way of helping humankind in our society; we are a capitalist nation. Respect other’s humanity as well, their customs, their opinions, their freedoms. Do not confuse dissent for disloyalty. Government: know the government. A good citizen knows that he’s being a good citizen. And vote, because that’s what we’ve always been told to do.

And that about covers it. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Qualities of a good friend are honesty, loyalty, and earnestness.

I want humor, trust, and a positive relationship from a friend.

I am willing to give a friend whatever they are willing to accept, with some limitations.

A good neighbor looks out for you, they are honest, watchful, kind, and sharing.

A friend is a neighbor with a more intimate realationship.

Yes, therre is a relationship, as stated above.

A good neighbor is not necesarily a good citizen. A responsible citizen not only obeys the law, but they also participate in their civic duties to the fullest. They vote, they share their beliefs, and they press for what is right. A neighbor doesn;t necesarily take time to justify that, its more of a label than a promise.

A good citizen pursues their civic duties to the fullest. They participate in democratic practices at local, state, and national levels. They look out for humanity in aspects both physical, spirtiual, and metaphysical. They look for the good of the people around them, while keeping themselves in consideration.

I am under eighteen.

Answer 4

You could probably conduct your surveys in the area for "Polls and Surveys" with better results.  

You may need to break it down into multiple questions and ask for precisely the information you're after in each (i.e. age) one.

You'll get the information much quicker.
