Description
Civic responsibility is the idea that we all have a duty to participate in the democratic process and to contribute to the common good. It is the belief that we are all connected to each other and that we have a responsibility to help each other.
Civic responsibility is not a new concept. It has been a core value of American society since the founding of our nation. Our Founding Fathers believed that democracy could only work if citizens were actively involved in their government. They believed that citizens had a duty to vote, to serve on juries, and to hold their elected officials accountable.
In recent years, civic responsibility has declined in the United States. This decline is due to a number of factors, including the rise of individualism, the decline of social capital, and the increasing complexity of our society.
The decline of civic responsibility is a serious threat to our democracy. When citizens are not involved in their government, they are less likely to hold their elected officials accountable. This can lead to corruption, inefficiency, and a decline in the quality of public services.
The decline of civic responsibility is also a threat to our social fabric. When citizens are not involved in their communities, they are less likely to trust each other and to work together to solve common problems. This can lead to social isolation, loneliness, and a decline in the quality of life.
The good news is that civic responsibility can be revived. There are a number of things that we can do to encourage civic engagement, including:
* **Making it easier for people to vote.** One of the biggest barriers to civic participation is the difficulty of voting. We can make it easier for people to vote by expanding early voting, making Election Day a holiday, and implementing automatic voter registration.
* **Encouraging people to serve on juries.** Jury service is an important civic duty that helps to ensure the fairness of our justice system. We can encourage people to serve on juries by making it easier for them to do so, such as providing childcare and transportation assistance.
* **Supporting organizations that promote civic engagement.** There are a number of organizations that work to promote civic engagement, such as the League of Women Voters and the YMCA. We can support these organizations by volunteering our time or donating money.
By taking these steps, we can help to revive civic responsibility in the United States. And by reviving civic responsibility, we can build a better future for ourselves and for our children.
**Civic Responsibility in the New Era** is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of our democracy. It is a book that will inspire you to get involved in your community and to make a difference in the world.
