Civic Responsibility

Civic responsibility refers to the duties and obligations that citizens have towards their community and society. In the context of political realism, it emphasizes practical engagement, prioritizing the protection of one's own nation and interests. Conversely, political idealism encourages citizens to uphold universal values like justice and equality, advocating for a better society. Balancing these perspectives means participating in democratic processes, voting, volunteering, and being informed, while also considering the broader impact of one's actions on fellow citizens and future generations. This balance ensures a well-functioning democracy and a more just society.
