Civics

Through those civic engagement experiences, I am hoping positively impact as many lives possibly can to contribute to the university’s goal “to become to the most civically engaged university in the United States”. Also, after my time at Drexel, I want to work with children…

Educators should never indoctrinate students. As a prospective teacher, I would like to inculcate peace, love, tolerance, respect, responsibility, honesty and unity to my pupils. These values will help to create a better world where we will all live in harmony and unity. Ethics is sinequanon in human life since it influences changes which is taking place in our modern society. In this new era, people get access to information quickly through technology improvement such as Wi-Fi. Nevertheless,…

Civic engagement means that an individual or group are making a change in society and/or politics in order to make a difference in the lives of individuals within that society in a positive or possibly negative way. In reality any one has the opportunity to make an impact within their community but not everyone does. Civic engagement is so much more than just protesting or standing up, being a part of a this means that you need to be dedicated to changing the lives of others and sometimes…

overcome hardships. A feeling of belonging is what brings people together to form nations. Nations can be based on ethnicity, language, culture, religion, geography, relationship to land, spirituality, or politics. A good nation and the best nations are civic nations because we all have the same beliefs and values and it doesn’t matter what race, colour, creed, gender, ethnicity we are, or what language we speak, it simply doesn’t make a difference to the nation. The principle of the common…

On the topic of public engagement in archaeology, Shackel also draws on political scientist Robert Putnam’s ideas on civic engagement. Shackel discusses Putnam’s analysis of how Americans from the 1980’s onward have become disconnected from their communities and lack access to social capital in his article on the University of Maryland’s participation in civic engagement (Shackel, 2010, pg. 58). Through engaging with the public, archaeologists can help these people connect with their…

Have you ever wondered what might be the most important civic value in life is? Honesty is the greatest civil value to ever have in life. The meaning of honesty, examples of this civic value, and knowing whether or not all Americans have this civic value is what I am going to talk to you about and why it is so important. Being honest means to chose not to lie, cheat, or steal. When we are honest, we build our personal character and let others around us know that we are always there for them…

For our civic engagement project for the Redefining Leadership class, my group, Stephanie, Hailee, Christina, and I, decided to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House in New Haven, Connecticut on a Thursday. Before we got there, we did not know what to expect, but afterwards, we truly felt grateful that we helped out a great cause. The Ronald McDonald House is a charity house that keeps families close to their family members that are being treated at a nearby hospital. We spoke with someone who…

lower-class citizen there is not many things that I can do, but one thing I can do is help young Americans prepare for future leadership and accept their responsibilities to America. We as citizens need to help preserve the nation by fulfilling our civic responsibility, so the generations after us experience America just as ours have. Being active in politics is one of the many responsibilities we have as Americans. Statistics say that only 56.3% of Americans vote in the primary elections.…

university (Dare2Impact, 2015). It's revolting! In a country of about 11 million people, more than 50% are young, they can no longer be seen as the future. They are also the present of Haiti. Education is, therefore, a priority; a basic education, and civic especially, to teach them pride, patriotism, and national belonging. With these values, they will develop commitment and motivation to change their community and make it prosper, to be interested in their education, as well as that of the…

For a few days after I moved to DC, I wondered what actions I could do to illustrate the concept of “civic engagement.” I thought it was a broad term, maybe because I was not familiar with the American term. However, when I took the time to look over the exceptional amount of things I had learned and done in Washington DC, it was easy to write this paper. I choose to talk about homelessness at a local level, gun violence and ethics in journalism at a national level; and women entrepreneurs,…
