Challenge 1-3

An active citizen is a leader.
It's a person that provides his knowledge to the community. That type of person tries to change those things that affect the community.
The characteristics of an active citizen are: Usually is a people person, a team player and helpful person.
Personally I don't think I am a very active citizen, I think that I need more sense of leadership.
What I can do to be more active, is stop to look that I belong to this world, and should be good to contribute to the world with my knowledge.
In conclusion an active citizen is a person who is connected with what is happening in the world, and work to change the bad things.

I agree with your perception of an active citizen because he has to participate in society strenghtening its best qualities.

Good Rene, You have great ideas about "active citizen” I like your paragraph =)

I'm totally agree with you when you said that is very difficult to describe what an active citizen is, because this is a huge meaning....... But I think that an active citizen is not only people making things.... it's not necesary to spend time of your personal time... if you are interested in the issues that affect your community and ofcourse you.

Active Citizen`s personality an example for the whole word.
It would be very dificult to describe active citizen`s personality because he/she is a bighearted person who helps people. he/she is a team player and people person who contribuites to society and gives something back.he/she can all trully make a difference by getting involved and to work in a proyect from conception to completion and see how it benefits others.
In conclusion. Following the example of an active citizen we will get a better world for the next generations.
Are you an active citizen? No I am not. because being an active citizen means that you have to spend time doing things for helping people you need to have a strong will to help. and in the moment I am very busy doing things to support my family.

What is to a citizen in this society?
According to the things we all have learned, a citizen is a person who should interact, tolerate, and understand the issues arround him. In this context an active citizen must use his rights and duties because that's what makes the world go round. I consider myself as an active citizen first of all because i always try to follow the rules arroun me, live in peace, be tolerant and support the people who needs me as well. Second of all, i consider that an active citizen should look up for the best things of the society, strenghthen them and keeping always in mind to avoid bad things.

I think ..this is a good example about a global citizen. I agree, when you say that is necesary to include this behavior participative in the building of society.

Jorge Humberto i agree with you, i really like your thought

AN ACTIVE CITIZEN

Nelson Mandela, ex-president of South Africa, has been known in all his life as an active citizen. As leader, he has all the features of a team player. He worked with men of his race to end the Apartheid, and as a politician improved the socio-economical progress of his country that now is the main powered nation in its continent. All that stuff at expense of a lot of sacrifices. He taught us, at the same time he was helping to build a new motherland, that the respect for Human Dignity and the defense of Human Rights, begins with the accomplishment of the solidarity duties with our fellow men. This means that the struggle for the interests of the most needed is the main base for the practice of an active and efficient citizenship. In front of the problems that Colombia has, I don’t consider myself an active citizen because my participation in the searching of solutions isn’t important. I need to work more to accomplish my duties with my fellow men. An active citizenship is necessarily an active participation in the building of a more fair society for all Colombians.
