WHY LEARN CITIZENSHIP ?

Community life requires respect of common rules for the protection of individual and collective interests. For this, each member of the community should know their rights and fulfill their duties. For example, the right to education, health, housing, protection, a holy environment, elect their legitimate representatives and to be elected. But this assumes that each and every one pays, for example, taxes, respect the laws and regulations of the state, recognize the rights of others, etc... It is the enjoyment of these rights and the fulfillment of these duties which form the foundation of citizenship.
