Answer 8

Actually, "peace of the world " is not our responsibility. It is the responsibility of each country, and sometimes its neighbors.

Our responsibility is to read the Constitution. It is the guidelines for leaders, and citizens to pay attention to. Being ignorant about the Constitution will put you in a position where you vote on unconstitutional basis. Such as world health, world peace, universal health, and a variety of other "that sounds nice" issues.

I personally think the responsibilities of a citizen are (in no specific order)

. Follow laws

. live peacefully & respect life

. Own property

. Own a firearm(s)

. Have employment & passions in life

. Know the nations history

. Be sensible and unemotional when voting

Rights and Duties. In a modern democratic state, the rights and duties of citizenship are inseparable, as each stems from the other. Democratic theory holds that the state deserves, gains, and retains the loyalty of its citizens by affording them the opportunity—through their influence on the political system—to gain the maximum achievement of their own goals.

Citizens, by their own participation in the political sphere, make it more likely that their needs and wishes will be taken into account in the making of policy. The primary right of citizenship in a democracy is the right to meaningful political participation. It is the freedom, in company with his or her fellow citizens, to hold the government—its officers, its policies, and its actions—responsible to him or her.

But the citizen in a democracy has some special responsibilities too. In addition to such requirements as obedience to law and payment of taxes, which characterize all societies, democracy necessitates political participation and obligates the citizen to accept responsibility for the results of governmental action. Citizenship in a democracy must be active. It is made meaningless by the citizen who avoids participation and declines to accept responsibility for what government does, thinking of politics in terms of "we" who are governed and "they" who govern. There necessarily must be politicians and civil servants who accept professional responsibility for the conduct of government, but they respond to the public influence in a democracy, and the public is to blame if results are unsatisfactory.

In a nondemocratic society, citizenship, if the term is used, means something else. The emphasis shifts toward duties, rather than rights, though there may be no total extinction of the latter. The loyalty of the population to the state may be just as great as in a democracy, but it is based on factors other than active political participation.

The allegiance of a citizen to his or her country is the citizen's most fundamental political loyalty. In a pluralistic society this can coexist with a variety of other loyalties, including those to family, church, private groups and organizations, political and social ideals, and even to subordinate political institutions or international organizations. Each of these may lead to conflict with one's national allegiance, but does not necessarily do so. In a totalitarian society, in which the state demands the total commitment of its citizens, such conflict is inevitable for anyone who has alternative loyalties.
