  1. Hello,
    the citizenship is the fact of being member of a specific country. A citizen has rights and duties. Indeed he has political, economical and social rights but he has also some duties like obeying the law, paying taxes or respecting others. For instance, a french citizen has the right to vote from 18 years old.

      - citizenship ( not "the citizenship")
      - a French citizen

  2. The term citizenship means to me the fact of being a citizen in a country but thinking on this word , it directly lead me to the fact for a person of having the nationality of a country which means that she really « forms part » of it even though those terms can in reality have different meanings. Also , I can define it as the relationship that can exist between an individual and the state. Therefore , this relationship implies some rights and duties for citizens. On the one hand , one ´s duties can be defined as the set of rules that every citizen or individual have to do and respect and that according to the law , is mandatory .On the other hand one ´s rights are the set of rules or laws that are allowed for the citizen .To sum up , the right is what we can do and the dutie is what we have to do . For instance , one ´s duties can be the fact of respecting the law , the military service , paying taxes .. and one ´s rights are for example the freedom of speech ,freedom of thought, conscience and religion. To conclude , rights and duties depend of each country even though the applied values are mainly respect , freedom and equality .

  3. Citizenship is for me the fact of belonging to a community because you live in it, and the rights and duties that this brings. For example, if you have citizenship in a country, you have the right to live there, work, vote, and pay taxes. I believe it is really important because it allows anyone to participate on an equal basis with their fellow citizens in making the collective decisions that regulate social life, with rights such as the right to vote. On top of that, citizenship has other benefits such as allowing citizens to travel, protection against deportation and much more.

  4. Hello,
    For me, citizenship the fact to be recognized as a citizen : a member of a country who have rights and duties in his public and political life. In France, a citizen is a man or a woman aged of 18 years old and born of French or naturalized parents.
    The definition of a citizen is different according to the country. For instance, in United-States the citizenship is granted from the birth of the individual.
    In some countries and states, citizenship was (or is still) allowed to men but not to women. It was the case in ancient Rome.
    Also in France, some rights of citizenship can be removed by a judge, in a penal sentence.

  5. Citizenship is about being a citizen of a country, which means, to belong to a specific country and to partake in a give and take relationship with the said country. Citizenship comes with many rights and duties and can vary with the country. However, I think that some rights are fundamental and should be given to everyone. These being freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, equality between everyone and access to health care. I think that every citizens should be entitled to these rights. As for their duties, I think that they're at least required to pay their taxes so as to support the country, to obey the law and to serve the country in times of crisis.

  6. Citizenship is the state or status of a citizen. It enables an individual to be recognised as a member of society and to participate in political life. Citizenship gives access to the full range of political rights, while creating duties, enabling participation in the civic life of a society.
    Duties :
    respect for others: civility and civic-mindedness are the basis of all community life;
    obedience to the law : it is the expression of the collective will;
    participation in the functioning of the country's democratic institutions: paying taxes, being a juror, etc.
    rights :
    political rights: . Through voting, the people choose their representatives to whom they entrust executive, legislative and judicial powers.
    individual rights: this refers to everything that concerns fundamental freedoms.
    economic and social rights: these are based on solidarity and recognise the right to education, health and a minimum income for all.
