...REL 222 GUIDE According to Thompson, why did the Greek poet Hesiod see farming as having religious significance? (36) God is integrated into nature, thus caring for it is important. Farming is the way humans can justly occupy a place in the divine (that is natural) order and its god’s intention that this place be fraught with work toil and risk. A key message in Hesiod’s poetry is that only farmers dependent on seasons, soil, and water can hope to attain piety or show proper respect to these divinities. Farming is the way human beings justly occupy a place in the divine (that is natural) order, and it is the gods’ intention that this place be fraught with work , toil, and risk, Warfare, violence, and trickery, in contrast, are unjust in Hesiod’s poetry because they short-circuit the gods’ intended route to material rewards. According to Thompson, what value did Thomas Jefferson see in Agriculture for America’s future? Jefferson believed that the small farmers would make the most “valuable citizens” because of their investment into the land and thus their country, he believed that agriculture was way for citizens to make long term and stable decisions that also promoted patriotism. Hamilton: believed that the future of the new republic lay in trade and industrial development. Jefferson favored the strategy of filling the heart of N.American continent with freehold farmers and delaying the creation of an indigenous industrial plant as long as possible. It was...

...how complex global challenges may seem, we must remember that it is we ourselves who have given rise to them. It is therefore impossible that they are beyond our power as human beings to resolve. Returning to our humanity, reforming and opening up the inner capacities of our lives, can enable reform and empowerment on a global scale.” Daisaku Ikeda wrote this quote as words of wisdom and looking into the quote marks the challenge and the truth of global citizenship. Our world is consisting of 150 countries and covers diversity of nationalities. Languages, culture and tradition are the factors that prove that our world, the Earth, is diverse in the line of people. I do believe that the problem of a certain country is a problem of the world and the success of a certain country is the success of the world. What the world needs is unity, equality, solidarity, prosperity and getting people to start carrying out, acting and performing like Global Citizens is the only way to accomplish this. Executing our roles is what the world needs and what the humanity needs also. We have a duty to protect each other as humans. We have a duty to take charge of our life and other people’s lives despite diversity in race, language, nationality and citizenship. Citizenship is about the state of being vested with the rights, privileges, freedom and duties of a citizen. It is a state that a person should exercise not only in a certain country but also in other places. National citizenship is a citizenship...

...with power. Throughout my Global Lead experience, I learned a lot about what a global citizen is and how to become a better one. I also learned a lot about myself and who I am as a person and leader and also how I lead my life. I believe a global citizen is one who is aware of what is happening around the world; one who genuinely cares and is curious, and one who has the desire to help in any way possible. When I first arrived in Greece and we talked about being a mindful traveler, I realized that I had never even thought about that. I realized that even when people visit America, I am not mindful of their culture. My Global Lead experience really made me realize that I never really took the time to learn other cultures and what was happening outside the United States. The only things I really ever knew about other countries were the things that affected America. I wasn’t even aware that I was not being a global citizen. Being a global citizen means to be aware of things going on outside your country and to try and help in any way possible, even if it is something simple like supporting another countries product. The Greece culture is so beautiful and full of history. The people are so nice and courteous to visitors, especially us when we visited. Almost everyone there knew English, which really surprised me because I am not fluent in any other languages. The fact that pretty much everyone spoke our language showed me a good example of global citizenship and what its like to take...

Globalization identity politics, regionalism, migration and human all shape and reflect this emerging idea of global citizenship. Humanity is in the midst of a monumental shift in history. The concept of human rights has expanded vastly in recent history as has other things like technology. Yet this speed of progression is unprecedented in human history and is forming a different view of citizenship. Ever increasingly, humanity is heading towards more expanded human rights. Urbanization has led to more cities which breed diversity. Through the exposure to diversity, tolerance of differences has increased. These cosmopolitan areas reflect the ever increasing pace of human rights. These areas more anti-status than any other community in the world. They...

...This essay endeavors to discuss the connection between citizenship education and civic education. It will further look at whether there is a difference between the two or if they are the same. Lastly, the conclusion will be drawn. Before going into a detailed discussion it is prudent to define the key words, that is , Civic education and Citizenship education respectively. Civic Education is a broader field and therefore can be defined in many different ways depending on the orientation of the educators, time , place and dictates of the political regime in the country. Zambia Civic Education Association (2004:38) “Civic Education refers to the formal awareness of the country’s citizens about their moral and legal entitlements (rights), their expected moral and legal functions(duties) as well as the extent to which they can influence the utilization of national/public resources, monitor leadership legitimacy and take part in decision making (governance).” Hamwiinga (2008:2) defines Civic Education as “an envisaged broader- based subject which relates to human beings and relationship with the natural, physical, social and cultural environment.” According to UNDP (2004) “ Civic Education is learning for effective participation in democratic and development processes at both local and national levels”. This then implies that if the citizens have not learnt about Civic Education they will not be able to uphold good democratic values thereby failing to be part of the local and national...

Speaking english well enough to answer a round of historical questions was a citizenship requirement for my mother in 1950 and as well for my friend from the Phillipines around 30 years ago. It's an important part of becoming a citizen -- people living in America must be able to understand simple things, read signs, etc.. Outside of becoming a citizen, it is very important for anyone coming the the United States to assimilate and accept local culture. This does not mean to suggest losing ethnic or cultural practices, rather, it means adhering to local customs and learning how people in the new community live, how they take care and function in the neighborhood and how they interact with each other. It means learning to obey traffic laws, littering laws, and civil law. These things are hard to get used to but they help people get along with each other. As a requirement of citizenship, keeping the criminal element out of the United States should be addressed. However, there are plenty of criminals who never get caught, plenty who get...

...Plato was one of the first to develop the concept of a political utopia. In The Republic, he attempted to outline the guidelines for a just society. Plato's Utopia appears, at first to be an excellent idea. However, his perfect society is less than the ideal, even from the contemporary perspective. Aristotle, through "The Politic” attempted to understand the nature of man in a "realistic" view. What Plato called ideal, Aristotle called unfeasible. He tries to make rationale judgment in the management of his ideal of a society, through understanding human behavior and logic, making it what he would deem a more realistic society. As humans we tend to care more about our individual needs prior to the needs of others. The values that we express reflect our own self-interest, where the good of the individual was the main concern and was not the same as that of the State. Plato saw this to be determinate to society based on the awareness that Guardians, such as civil leaders and assistants would care more about their individual desires, and their needs; disregarding anything else to fulfill their pleasures. "On this basis they will then be free from faction, to the extent tat any rate that human beings divide into factions over the possession of money, children, and relatives" (Stephanos 464e). Plato recognized this to create factions among individuals, where these divisions' main concerns were to themselves, their family, and to others that were close to them. Families create that...

...Compulsory National Service Compulsory national service has been a major debate topic for the past few years now. This means mandatory service would be required for all Americans graduating from high school today. There are pros and cons on both sides of the argument that hold weight and make valid points, but after doing the research and viewing both sides I have to agree that the pros outweigh the cons. Compulsory service will get our country back on its feet, and can bring unity to this wonderful country we call home, for that reason we need to act now and require a two year stint of national service. To begin, there are many Americans who are against compulsory national service they believe that it would impact teens from moving on to college after high school. Americans who are opposing mandatory service state that it would deter students who are looking to become a doctor, for example, because it would delay their studies. To become a doctor it takes many years of intense studying, and residencies that require working in a hospital alongside a licensed doctor. Delaying this would cause the individual to finish his or her studies later and life, and in turn could cause them to miss out on opportunities to progress to the top of their field of study. Not to mention compulsory service would cause the individual to miss out on possible income that could have been earned if he or she would have started two years earlier. On the contrary, implementing mandatory service would help...
