A. It’s hard to define being a citizen because it takes on many different views about the way we should respect and honor our country, but also the duties and rights we have citizen.

B. I define a thoughtful citizen as a citizen who knows their rights and a citizen that is able to speak out on objects they think are wrong.
2. Most people view citizenship as a bond that connects Americans.
A. “It defines an individual's relationship to his country and thus strikes chords of nationalism and personal responsibility, duty and rights.” (The Times Editorial Board)
