ReplyDelete"we as citizens do have responsibilities to society. some of the responsibilities we have are keeping the earth clean and staying healthy."

ReplyDeleteyes we as citizens take care of of the society that we live in and to take care of the society that we live in as a everyday thing.

What responsibilities do we have though?
Yes, I think that we all have responsibilities that we must do as citizens. We must vote and and research to see which candidate is best. We must also go in the draft if required or do jury duty and follow the laws.

What "responsiblities" do you think we have?
Yess, if you are called for jury duty you must serve or go to jail..
ReplyDeleteI agree, but there is more to it than just that. We have to do more than just show up to court as citizens. You have to contribute everyday..
Yes, wo do. We all talk part in our community. Or at least should. And if it wasn't for us there wouldn't exactly be an economy. Because if we stopped going to stores and spending money there would not be a good economy. Barely an economy at all. We are all in charge of keeping our home safe and clean.
ReplyDeleteYes, i do think that as citizens of society that we have responsibilities. We are responsible for this earth. to keep our earth clean, so that we can continue living on it for many years.

Yes, we as citizens have responsibility's to society. We have to do our part in keeping the community clean... But then Olivia has a good point, the way we treat the community and act upon the community effects the society.
NO WE DON'T! We were born into this country and unless the government arrests us we don't have any responsibilities!
ReplyDelete"we need to clean our world, stay healthy, be nice to people, respect others, etc."-Liz Bishop. I strongly agree to this Liz! Without citizens then our world would be nothing!
ReplyDeletewe all have duties to our country. i agree with everybody because there are so many things that we can do to help!
ReplyDeletesupporting our troops, voting, using the rights we are giving in a positive way. We all need to work together and our nation will last much longer then many have said it will.
We all do have responsibilities in society. It is our job to keep the Earth clean. Not doing our part will effect the future.

ReplyDelete"NO WE DON'T! We were born into this country and unless the government arrests us we don't have any responsibilities!"
Nick, can you justify your response based on what HDT has said in his essay(s)?
NICK - What makes you think that we don't have responsibilities?
ReplyDeleteClare S. Said... I think we do have some. We as citizens should vote and keep our home (america) clean and as safe as possible... I believe this is true! We all have choices in our society so we do which you have stated have some rights to our society even though some people don't take advantage of having rights to our society by not voting and making wrong choices.
ReplyDeleteNick- Yes , as americans we have MANY responsibilities or they will put you in jail. such as paying taxes.
ReplyDeleteWill thomas said.. "Yes, I think that we all have responsibilities that we must do as citizens. We must vote and and research to see which candidate is best." I disagree with this statement. We are not REQUIRED to vote. Its ones one decision. But i do agree with the second statement he made..."We must also go in the draft if required or do jury duty and follow the laws." Because we do have to go, if we are drafted. You've got no choice

I STRONGLY disagree with Nick. I think that we definitly have responsibilities to take care of the Earth.

I completely agree with you. We must boost our economy and work to bring it up. And yes we have the choice but it is more of a duty than a choice. Its our job as citizens but i guess we do have a choice to do it. good comment

I think that so many people think they don't have to care but in reality that is why America is so bad right now because people think they can just do what they want. It's SOOOOOOO dumb.
Claire Kinley Said...
ReplyDelete"the citizens of the United States all have duties to there country. i believe that those may be taking care of our country in a respectful way, setting a goal to at least vote once, supporting our troops, and believing in america because it is that kind of attitude that makes our nation what it is."
I agree with Claire, she makes a good point in saying that every citizen should try and vote at least once, and supporting out troops is also a large part, because they are fighting for our country to keep our country safe.

Nick, your going both ways, you can only go one... So, are you undecided, or just like arguing with people?
Yes we do have responsibilities. If we see someone that is in need we have a responsibility to help that person. For example, if we see someone that has had a car accident, we should stop to see if that person is ok. If they need first aid, we should do what we can to help.
ReplyDeleteYes because we all need to take care of the neighborhood you live in and make it a place better for you and everyone else to live in.
ReplyDeleteYes we do have responsibilities. We have to follow the laws and try to protect everyone in our society.
ReplyDeleteyes, we have to help it to stay clean, and make it look nice. when you take responsibility and help, it makes it a better place for everyone to live
ReplyDeleteWe have many responsibilities to society as citizens among these are duties. It's our duty yet choice to serve in the military and defend the rights of others for the better. It is our responsibility to respond to and act with moral rightness when there is something that is unmorally correct in the way.
ReplyDeleteYes we do, because if we didn't support businesses or keep the world clean, not as many people would want to live here. And without people and money, not a lot can be done.
ReplyDeleteyes we do we have the responsibility to pay taxes so our government can help make our country better
ReplyDeletei belive that we have responsibilities as citizens in that we need to support our country in all that we do. If you don't agree with something a poletition, then get it changed, don't do something radical.
ReplyDeleteyes, i think we are responsible for paying taxes so that the money can be used for things such as road improvement, and other such things.

We do have responsibilities to our county because we live in it. if we didn't take care if it, it would not be a very pretty world.
yes we do they are to help make the eath a better place and obey and follow laws.
ReplyDeleteNick B said...
ReplyDeleteOf course we do. We must obey the law and help support and better our country.
I do not completely agree with you because sometimes we can not obey the law because it is threatening to you our many other people.
I think that we have a responsibility to help society become better in the best way possible. Thoreau said that the positions people were in were holding them back from all that they could do, meaning that people can apply themselves better.
ReplyDeleteJake Nickerson said:
ReplyDelete"yes we do we have the responsibility to pay taxes so our government can help make our country better"
I agree with you, because if people don't pay taxes, then the government wont have any money to make things or recourses better for us.
Jake Nickerson yes we do we have the responsibility to pay taxes so our government can help make our country better."
ReplyDeleteI think it is partially correct. We should give taxes to help the government finance things that must be needed. The government often misuses this money for not things that help the right people and does good for people. It is wasted at times. That is why budgeting is a key issue to work with.

I agree with hope. If we don't ALL help then our world will be terrible. It would effect all of us, and if we don't all help we'll all be in-trouble.
