What it means to be a good citizen By: Sidra Homam (Civics and Careers)

Law

Accountability

No matter your profession you will be held accountable for your actions.

Respecting Authority

Police Officers

Judges

Store and Contruction Workers

Human and immigrant rights

Do not deprive a person of their human rights

Do not come between a person or group of people and their human rights. An example of this deprivation to clean drinking water. (Click hyperlink)

Respecting a others humans rights

Not disciminating against migrants who are looking for refuge

A bad example of respecting this would be Donald Trump and his immigration law. The act of seperating and imprisoning migrant families is againt the rights of humans and immigrants. Assuming that immigrants are terrorist or criminals is very offense and is not tolerated.

Respecting Religions and Races

Refraining from using stereotypes to classify races and religions.

Never isolate or tease a person for their skin colour or religion

In Canada and many democratic countries there is a large number of groups from different racial backgrounds and with different beliefs and religions. As shown in many areas of Canada, we must accept these individuals because just like us they too are human beings. Unforunatly through media and false news, religions are over shadowed by false rumors. Religions are deep and meaningful. For someone to have values, beleifs and opinions does not give another permission to mistreat them.

Good Example of a person who respects races and religon

Justin Trudeau

“to build a better, more inclusive country that recognizes the contributions of all, and creates better opportunities for more Canadians.”

Bad Examples of People who respect race and religion

Donald Trump

Imprisonment of Migrants with no criminal record

Seperation of Migrant children from familes.

He began his 2016 presidential campaign with a speech disparaging Mexican immigrants as criminals and “rapists.”

Trump’s real-estate company tried to avoid renting apartments to African-Americans

“Black guys counting my money! I hate it. … I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks.”

Ann Coulter

"Jews need to be perfected"

"Immigration Equals the Destruction of America"

"Our black people are better"
