Citizenship in Algeria:
❝
The Inherited Pride
❞
Hello dear mates ! I'm Mohamed, an Algerian middle school boy. I'm a volunteer in a charitable
organization. I want to share with you the tips and the recommendations about how my brothers and sisters
be good citizens.
First, I think that being a good citizen involves understanding our role in society.
I assume that it's about respecting the laws and the rights of others. He, as an individual, should participate
in charity work, contributing to the improvement of society. She, on the other hand, prefers to join a charity
organization, helping the needy people .
Moreover, I believe that acceptance the concept of globalisation is important. It allows us to learn
from other cultures and apply positive aspects to our own community. He enjoys learning about different
cultures, while she loves sharing our rich Algerian culture with the world.
In addition, I would recommend that we all take part in community activities. It's important to show
interest and take action in what's happening around us. He may like to plant trees in the neighborhood,
while she could dislike seeing litter on the streets and organize a cleanup.
If we see something wrong, we will intervene. I think that defending our opinions and standing up
for what's right is a sign of a responsible citizen. For example, if he sees someone being treated unfairly,
he should stand up for them. If she notices corruption, she should report it.
Remember, be respectful, be kind, and be active. These are the keys to being a good citizen.
