Nobody is born as either a good or a bad citizen. Good citizenship is taught to us by our families, communities, friends, and teachers.

Obey the law: is one of the most important public duty of a good citizen is to obey the law. A law is a set of rules established by a community that governs how people act and behave. A good citizen follows the rules, obeys parents, teachers, and those in positions of authority, observes just laws, and upholds democratic principles. A good citizen is also required to follow the laws of the country, such as paying taxes, preserving the environment, and treating people with respect As a result, in the preceding story, one of the students' major contributions was stated as respecting the school's rules and regulations. Indeed, every one of you is responsible for adhering to the school's rules and regulations B). Responsibility: is the other important characteristic of good citizenship. Responsibility entails taking action and encompasses many aspects of what we consider to be good citizenship. You might want to emphasize that one of the primary responsibilities of students is to learn At home, you are expected to complete your homework, and at school, you are expected to respect your classmates and teachers. You also have the responsibility to report any wrongdoing if you witness it For instance, as a good citizen, you have a responsibility to report tax fraud and smuggling if you see or hear about it. Furthermore, keeping the environment clean, obtaining an education, and participating in community service are all responsibilities of a good citizen When you look at the student in the preceding story, you will notice that he/she is extremely responsible not only in class but also in his/her extracurricular activities. C).Tolerance: is the critical characteristics of a good citizen that allows us to live peacefully It also teaches us that other people have the right to hold opinions, beliefs, and positions that differ from ours. Tolerance is the ability and willingness to accommodate differences in ideas, outlooks, and points of view, among other things A good citizen is expected to show the utmost respect for other people's religions, cultures, languages, and other value systems This principle is related to the above-mentioned student, who was honored because he/she has developed the habit of tolerance both inside and outside of the classroom, allowing him/her to live in harmony with students of various ages, religions, languages, and ethnic groups D). Patriotism: is also an essential quality of a good citizen A patriot should have a genuine affection for his or her country as well as a sense of participation in the country's social, political, and economic aspects A good citizen is one who is willing to make sacrifices for the benefit of his/her country. For example, Ethiopia is a country of many heroes and patriots who have given their precious lives to ensure our country's independence and the ability to live in peace and dignity A good citizen is one who is willing to make sacri- fices for the benefit of his/her country. Of course, patriotism can be expressed in a variety of ways other than military service For example, we can demonstrate our love for our country by engaging in diplomacy, education, medicine, agriculture, trade, and a variety of other activities Artists, athletes, and other professionals who promote our country's name and flag on a global stage are also patriots because they are a source of pride for us You have probably figured out why the student in the preceding story was named the best student of the year. The student received the award not only for his/her love of his/her country, but also for his/her commitment to realizing his/her dream of raising his/her country's national flag on the world stage, as athletes Haile G/ Selassie and Derartu Tulu have done **[Importance of Good Citizenship]** Good citizenship qualities are important not only for instilling a strong moral code in individuals, but also for fostering a safe and supportive society while ensuring the survival of a democratic system A healthy and long-lasting democratic society depends on good citizenship.
