- Title
Reconceptualizing Democratic Citizenship: Meeting Our Civic Obligations.
- Authors
Carpenter, James J.
- Abstract
"The Bill of Obligations: The Ten Habits of Good Citizens" by Richard Haass highlights the potential risks to American democracy due to citizens not fulfilling their civic obligations. Haass emphasizes the importance of protecting citizens' rights while also fulfilling moral and political commitments to one another and the country. The book outlines ten obligations of citizenship, including being informed, getting involved, and promoting the common good. Haass suggests that teachers, particularly those involved in citizenship education, can incorporate these obligations into their curricula. The article "Critical Questions in Education" explores the significance of civic education in the US and its potential to encourage engagement with diverse opinions. It references works by G.S. Wood and J. Zimmerman, discussing how public schools may not adequately teach students how to engage with diverse perspectives. This information is valuable for library patrons researching civic education and its role in promoting democratic values.
