  2. To What Extent Should My Actions As A Citizen Be Shaped By An Ideology • To answer this question you will need to develop an understanding of the term “citizenship” • A citizen lives in and is a member of a country • A citizen votes • A citizen has responsibilities like obeying laws and paying taxes • A citizen has rights like protection from arbitrary arrest and freedom of speech

  3. Reflecting On Worldview, Ideology and Citizenship • Have you ever crossed an international border and have been asked by an official What your citizenship is? • Most likely you answered your legal country of origin

  4. Worldviews • A world view is the way in which a person or group views the world • It includes a view of past events and how they shape the present, of other cultures in relation to one’s own, of one’s place in the world, and of nature of one’s society. • Today, travel and communication puts people in contact with other people or groups – Thus creating worldviews

  5. Legal and Political Understandings of Citizenship • Legal Perspective: Based on two key principles – Jus Soli( right of the soil )place of birth and Jus Sanguinis ( right of blood ) the citizenship of the child and nationality of a child is the same as the parents. • Most nations use Jus Soli and Jus Sanguinis as well as naturalization ( applying for citizenship)

  6. Broader Understanding of Citizenship • To some people citizenship is a matter of where you were born, to others it is a matter of where you work, live, where you see your future • It can also reflect what kind of society you wish to support • The citizen becomes a stakeholder in the community – political participation

  7. Broader Understanding of Citizenship • Civic participation can be direct or indirect • Direct action – protesting • Indirect action – letter writting

  8. World Views and Ideologies • World views and ideologies are linked together • A Quebecois supporter will have a world view that is linked with his thoughts of Quebec’s role in Canadian confederation • A traveler to Africa who sees poor and hungry people may adopt a humanitarian ideology

  9. World Views and Ideologies • Modern times have highlighted conflicting world views and ideologies • Example of the attempt of the US to install a liberal democratic government in Iraq • An American may view this with pride • An Arab nationalist may view this with rage
