The interview discusses citizenship and the role of citizens according to several historical figures. John Locke believes citizens should play an active role in government and have natural rights to life, liberty, and property. Maximilien Robespierre believes power should be concentrated in those loyal to the revolution and terror is justified, while others argue this leads to oppression. Jim Hawkins says conflict arises from greed and a desire for total power, ruining society. Atticus Finch defends equal rights for all and believes citizens should stand up for their beliefs. In conclusion, good citizenship involves respecting others, contributing to the community, and participating in decisions that affect society.
The document discusses the philosophical roots of American democracy, including the social contract theory of John Locke who believed that people are born with natural rights and the purpose of government is to protect those rights. It then contrasts "Freeland", a hypothetical place without government rules or laws, with a "state of nature" which suggests that without enforcement of rules most people would act in their own self-interest. The document argues that government is necessary to establish order and protect people's rights.
Citizens had some rights and responsibilities in ancient Greece, while subjects had no rights. Only free, native-born men who owned land were considered citizens. Citizens had rights like choosing laws, voting, holding office, owning property, and defending themselves in court. However, women, children, slaves, foreigners and those who didn't own land were not citizens. Citizens were responsible for serving in the government and fighting for their city-state, or polis.
Rights duties and responsibilities of a citizenLori Doll
The document outlines the rights, duties, and responsibilities of citizens. Rights include voting, free speech, religious freedom, and fair trials. Duties are obeying laws, defending the country, serving on juries, paying taxes, and attending school. Responsibilities involve participating in the political process through voting, campaigning, and influencing government as well as serving the common good and one's community.
This document discusses the differences between duties and rights. It argues that duties must come before rights, and that fulfilling one's duties is necessary to deserve and obtain rights. Duties are obligations or moral commitments to others that often require sacrifice of self-interest. Rights structure laws and ethics, but depend on the fulfillment of duties. Civic duties are obligations owed to one's community, like voting, paying taxes, volunteering, and conserving resources. Fulfilling civic duties supports society and demonstrates that one deserves the rights of citizenship.
The document discusses personal and civic responsibilities of citizens. Personal responsibilities include taking care of oneself and family, while civic responsibilities involve supporting one's community and government through actions like voting, running for office, serving on juries, and paying taxes. Civic responsibilities can sometimes conflict with personal responsibilities due to demands on time and energy. The document also provides examples of responsibilities being personal, civic, or both, such as obeying laws, volunteering, and striving for compromise.
The document discusses Russell Dalton's definition of citizenship and analyzes changes that have affected citizenship in modern America. It outlines three aspects of citizenship: public participation, state authority, and social rights. It also describes two dimensions of citizenship: duty citizenship and engaged citizenship. Dalton argues that a decline in duty citizenship has been balanced by a rise in engaged citizenship due to factors like modernization, generational change, education, technology, labor changes, gender changes, racial changes, and religious changes. Dalton suggests this shift in citizenship norms will continue to reshape democratic politics as both duty and engagement citizenship are important but also have limitations.

Responsibilities are defined as the duties people are expected to perform, and these also fall into two categories - personal duties and social responsibilities. The document notes that while people have rights, those rights also carry corresponding responsibilities. It provides examples of both rights and responsibilities to illustrate the concepts.
This document discusses different types of rights and theories related to them. It defines rights as claims that one is entitled to something. There are several dichotomies of rights discussed, including: natural vs. societal rights; moral vs. legal rights; and positive vs. negative rights. Natural rights are those we have for being human, like life, while societal rights depend on membership in a society. Moral rights are claims that ought to be respected, while legal rights are those that can be respected under the law. Positive rights require others to provide something, like healthcare, while negative rights prevent interference, like the right to not be beaten. For every right, someone has a corresponding duty to ensure that right.

An Unresolved Struggle for Reparations, Redress & Restitution in South Africa Khulumani Support Group
This document summarizes perspectives on reparations and redress for racial injustices in South Africa. It discusses the views of thinkers like Bryan Stevenson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Hillary Beckles who argue that countries must address the lasting impacts of policies like slavery, segregation, and colonialism. It notes that resistance to reparations in South Africa reflects a failure to understand how these historical actions have harmed people and that reckoning with moral debts is needed for true peace and healing. The document advocates for a 10-point plan of reparatory justice, including apologies, cultural programs, and debt cancellation to address inequalities and move towards repairing damage from the past.

Malcolm X summarizes his speech "The Ballot or the Bullet" in three key points:
1) He emphasizes that Black Nationalism is a self-help philosophy that can unite Black people regardless of religion or organization in working to gain political and economic control of their communities.
2) Black Nationalism was successful in helping other nations in Asia and Africa gain independence from colonial powers through nationalism, and it is needed to end the colonialism that Black Americans continue to face.
3) Frustration in the Black community has grown due to failed promises from white leaders, and 1964 may be a pivotal year that sees Black people choose between pursuing rights through voting ("the ballot") or through other means ("the

2. JOHN LOCKE INTERVIEW
Katie: Hi this is Katie Lewis here from T.H.E. News. Today we have a very special
guest Mr. John Locke. So Mr. Locke I know that you are a very influential
enlightenment philosopher.
Locke: That is correct miss. I believe strongly in natural rights. I believe everyone
has the right to life, liberty, and property. I believe that humans are all good,
reasonable, and moral.
Katie: I’m familiar with the fact that you also wrote "Two Treaties of Government"
which states that the government should protect these natural rights.
Locke: Yes ma’am I did. I believe that the government is responsible for protecting
everyone's natural rights. If the government does not protect these rights, then it is
us, we the people who have the right to overthrow that form of government and
create a new one.
Katie: What role do you think citizens should play in a society?
Locke: I believe in a democracy, citizens should play an active role in their
government. Power given to the people is every nation's backbone. When sole power
is in the government, common people are no longer citizens, but subjects. We have
no purpose in society other than to do what the king says. This has been repeated in
history too many times! It limits any chance for people to be innovative and have
dreams of making life better. Citizens are free to give more than just "the minimum"
that they are required to do.
Katie: Well thank you Mr. Locke for that excellent insight on your enlightenment
ideas. Thank you for your time. Now to my interview with Mr. Robespierre...
4. CLAIMS ABOUT CITIZENSHIP
• Citizens have obligations to follow the laws
• Power within a society should be with the
majority
• All citizens are born with natural rights
• Citizens have the right to overthrow an unjust
government
• Citizens should play an active role in their
society
5. MAXIMILIEN ROBESPIERRE
Katie: Mr. Robespierre, thank you so much for taking the time to be
interviewed on a very busy day. Sir, I understand that you created an
organization to "protect the revolution" from enemies at home and
abroad.
Robespierre: Why yes that is correct. I created the Committee of Public
Safety. We were at war with several other European countries who
wanted to restore the monarchy in France. There was a greater threat
though. We were being attacked from within.
Katie: You said that you believed France could achieve a "Republic of
Virtue" through terror and blood. What made you use terror?
Robespierre: Unfortunately there were people within our own country
who were enemies of the revolution. I had to protect the revolution at all
costs even if it meant executing a few of our own. I took it into my hands
to end the monarchy by bringing the king and queen before the
guillotine as well as execute anyone in the way of the revolution's
progress.
Katie: But Mr. Robespierre, what makes your "Republic of Virtue" any
different than a harsh dictatorship. You're killing your own people!
6. ROBESPIERRE (CONTINUED)
Robespierre: Believe me. If people get the idea that the revolution isn't a good
idea; if their voice is heard, the revolution will fail! They shouldn't have the right
to speak their own opinion because it could prove fatal for the revolution. These
people that are being guillotined know the consequences for being an enemy of
the revolution, and they deserve it. I know it seems hard now, but change is
very hard. Believe me, I do all these things for the good of France.
Katie: Mr. Robespierre, are you familiar with the statement "Power to the
People“? How does this apply to your "Republic of Virtue"?
Robespierre: It applies because power is given to those loyal to the revolution
Katie: Well then what is the role of a citizen in society? Are we all just subjects
of the revolution, waiting in terror at your wrath?
Robespierre: If terror and wrath are necessary then yes!
Katie: I'm sorry Mr. Robespierre but it sounds like your revolution is ruining the
idea of democracy and rights for all people along with power to the people.
Good day sir!
[the interviewer was executed the next day]
*a moment of silence*
8. CLAIMS ABOUT CITIZENSHIP
• Too much power to one person corrupts a
government
• Using terror to control a country is not the right
way and should be done fairly
• The right to a fair trial instead of immediate
execution
9. JIM HAWKINS
Katie: So Mr. Hawkins, what was your view on the how the pirates acted to get the treasure?
Jim: Well, the pirates caused a great amount of chaos and corruption because they would never
even try to work with us to get the treasure. Instead, they decided that they wanted the treasure all
for themselves which shows a great amount of greed and selfishness. People didn't have to die on
Treasure Island. If we all were willing to sacrifice a little, everyone would've gotten a fair share, but
instead of working together, we separated. This hurt both of our groups, and ended in a very sad
way with many deaths.
Katie: So what should've happened Mr. Hawkins?
Jim: Well, if we did work together as one team, if we discussed how we were going to attain the
treasure, there wouldn't have been this conflict and tension that leads to death and destruction. As
one team, we would've achieved our goal, but instead our own pride and greed got in the way.
Katie: How do you think your experience relates to citizenship?
Jim: It showed how the desire for total power and wanting some kind of material so bad that it
brings you to kill another human, ruins a society. It causes conflict and makes no room for growth to
occur, or for a citizen to achieve a prosperous and good life. Power and greed consumes people
and turns them into monstrous people. Much like how a powerful dictator gets power hungry and
can oppress an entire nation.
Katie: What traits got you through this journey for survival?
Jim: Well on my part, it took lots of courage obviously, but it also took a great deal of innovation.
There were situations that presented me that I had never dealt with before, and I had to approach it
being open for innovation. I really needed to think on my feet in situations like when the pirates
invaded the stockade, and when I decided to leave the island on the coracle and take over the
Hispaniola. Lastly, I needed to get past my natural human greed and realize that life is more
important than treasure and material gain. This is what got us through Treasure Island alive; a
sacrifice individually for the overall group's survival.
Katie: Well thank you Mr. Hawkins.
11. CLAIMS ABOUT CITIZENSHIP
• As individuals we must contribute to society in some
way
• Perfect balance between power and conflict
• A certain amount of power must be given to citizens
• Everyone has equal rights
• Each citizen has the right to state his or her opinion
• No one person should have all the power in a
government
12. ATTICUS FINCH
Katie: So what exactly what was your reason for defending Tom Robinson?
Atticus: Well Ma'am I believe in the equal rights of ALL people, and this includes
colored people. Culture today has made it so we are desensitized to how horrible
racism really is because it is just a part of society. I decided to take a stand
because this is something I truly believe is wrong in our world today, and I'm willing
to suffer for my decision.
Katie: Do you think defending Tom Robinson was effective in stopping racism?
Atticus: I think it was. As you saw, people weren't happy at all about me defending
Tom Robinson. My actions brought light to the problems with racism in society,
and it made us all question our ethics and morals. This is a small step in the cause
for equality, but it was necessary for me to stand up for him.
Katie: Well I must say these are very admirable traits Mr. Finch. Do you believe all
citizens should have these qualities?
Atticus: I believe so. For a society to function fully, it needs people that when they
see a problem, they stand up for what they believe and let their voices be heard.
Everyone needs to have the boldness to participate in government. Without it, we
would repeat history over again. This form of government leads to oppression and
suffering because it isn't a unified nation where everyone can speak their own
views and opinions.
Katie: Well thank you Mr. Finch! Good luck to you on your future quests for this
nation's greater good.
