You need some help writing this position paper assignment. Its about How Important is Active Citizenship?

In this assignment, you will assess citizen actions about issues. Consider strategies to address local, national, or global issues that demonstrate individual and collective responses.

How should my actions as a citizen be shaped by an ideology?

Example Citizen Action Statements about Poverty:

1 . As an individual citizen I do not at all like the idea of being forced into programs to help poor countries. It is important to remember that all citizens have freedoms to act according to how it will suit them.

I have chosen to work very hard to move ahead. As a responsible citizen I made a great deal of effort to be responsible for myself and not to be a burden. I like that I can choose what programs I give to and I concentrate on my own local needs such as food banks.

Everybody in a liberal democratic state has that responsibility. I do not think that we should just be giving money for poverty reduction programs in this country or developing nations. If we really want to help poor countries we can do it by encouraging them to understand and adopt our liberal democratic ideals. In this way they will attain viable liberal strategies that stress individual responsibility. When people have these they truly can work for the common good.

2. I think that one of my most important roles as a citizen in a country that has strong liberal democratic roots is to provide help for those who are less fortunate than I am.

So for me the most important word is "active" I should be active as a citizen of this country and the globe. I believe that is my role. I have worked hard and created a great life for myself because I was free to act according to my desires and in return, I should try to allow other people to have the opportunity to move ahead.

Governments can help by sponsoring some of the programs to help reduce poverty both here and in developing nations but this should not be left up to a government alone. Responsible citizens should step forward and be actively involved as well and this will reduce the burden on governments. I take part in many programs as an active citizen such as Habitat for Humanity and even going to developing nations to help there. Because of my efforts I am providing a strong role model for these people so that they will embrace the ideology of active citizenship.
