Presenter says:
We are going to practice applying the principle
of citizenship to different situations. Let's look at how some statements
might be worked into a group of youth, or business people or another group
that you work with.
Activity:
Presenter says: Let's
name some groups that each of us works with so that each of us can pick
a group and we'll have as many groups as we have people.
Next, we'll
look at some overheads about citizenship. As you like at these overheads,
please consider the following questions:
a. What advice
would you give your group using this overhead as your guide?
b. Does your
group exercise the citizenship activity outlined on your card?
c. What changes
do you want your group to make?
Presenter says:
The pillar Citizenship seems very easy because
examples of citizenship are all around us. Sometimes, however, we forget
to respect another person's way of expressing their citizenship. Sometimes
people have difficulty with "civil disobedience". Let's talk about that
for a few minutes.
Overheads 16 - 18
Presenter says:
In recent history, the person who most exemplifies
civil disobedience is Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King have his life for
his belief that disobeying an unjust law in a civilized way was the greatest
expression of democracy.
