Напишите мини сочинение на английском на тему: почему важно быть хорошим гражданином

Good citizenship is important in any country, particularly in a democracy such as the United States. In countries where people do not enjoy the freedoms that we have in America, the government plays a larger role in controlling the lives of its citizens. In America, the government is specifically designed to play as small a part as possible in the lives of its citizens. That is one of the principles upon which it was founded. It is the lack of government control that allows us freedom.

But with freedom comes responsibility. Americans must be responsible for their own lives. One way to do this is to obey the law. Of course, it is important for citizens of all countries to obey the law, but in America, we have a special duty to obey the law even when no one is watching us. This is one way we can protect our freedom. The government must be able to trust that people will obey the law. We must supervise ourselves. In this way, we can remain free of too much government control.

Unfortunately, many people do not understand this relationship between trusting that laws are obeyed and keeping our freedom. They feel that as long as no one is looking it is all right to break the law because they will not be caught. This type of behavior hurts society as a whole. It diminishes the trust upon which our freedoms are based.

All in all, a good citizen has to respect his/her town, country and people who live there.
