Study Notes
Worldview and Citizenship
- A worldview is a collection of beliefs about life and the universe, shaping how individuals and groups interpret the world.
- Worldview and ideology influence a person's role as a citizen.
- Citizenship is legally determined by two main principles: jus soli (place of birth) and jus sanguinis (nationality of parents).
- Voting is a key responsibility and right for many Canadians, but voter turnout can be low.
Citizenship Principles
- Most countries use a combination of these principles, along with naturalization, to define citizenship.
- Some countries consider dual or multiple citizenship problematic, potentially causing conflicting loyalties or legal issues.
- Views on citizenship are multifaceted, taking into account birth place, parental origin, heritage, current residence, future plans, and potential loyalty.
- Crises like earthquakes or tsunamis can broaden the definition of citizen, expanding it from national to global citizen.
Civic Participation
- Civic and political participation are obligations that citizens have to the state and society due to granted rights.
- Civic participation can be direct or indirect.
- Civic advocacy includes actions like letter writing or donations to charities.
- Philanthropy (efforts to improve the state of mankind) is a significant form of civic participation.
- Many Canadians volunteer and donate to help those in need.
Human Rights
- Human rights concepts have existed since 500 B.C.
- The Enlightenment emphasized the importance of justice and human rights.
- The American and French revolutions championed individual rights.
- The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a modern attempt to define universal human rights.
- Most documents outline both negative (freedoms the government can't infringe on) and positive (entitlements the government must provide) human rights.
- Fair trials and due process are fundamental human rights.
- Pacifists actively oppose war and advocate for peace; those opposed to war on moral or religious grounds are conscientious objectors.
- The UN supports the right to conscientious objection and monitors the treatment of objectors.
