Responsibility of a Good Citizen

responsibility-of-a-good-citizen
Long before, men lived in caves like animals. They liked living alone. They hunted wild animals and fish for their eating. It is because of these habits, they are called savages. Men realized that living together was safer and better. At fist, they lived in families, and then in tribes, later, they settled along the banks of rivers. Bit by bit, there grew town, small and large. Some took fertile lands to cultivate them, some became bricklayers, some become shoemaker and some became solders. They stared doing something for one another.

 As men became cultured, as societies grew larger, men started looking for new professions and occupations. It was the result of their collective efforts that many more professions developed. Gradually, men thought to have a safer and happier life, for this purpose, laws were made. Today we have almost every sort of people, such as, doctors, engineers, artistes, writer, and policeman. They are doing something for their fellow-men.

Have you ever thought that how many things or services you use in one day?
Milkman brings milk for us and keeps cattle for our benefit. Baker bakes bread, printer prints our book, drivers drive bus in which we go to school or place of work, doctor treat the sick, teacher teaches pupils at school. Workers and engineers run mill which weaves cloth we wear. Shopkeeper sells articles of daily use; traffic police regulates the traffic so that we may travel without any fear of accidents. It is only possible in organized society.

Primitive man did live far form river. They took it to hunt fish and use to drink its water. We now turn on the tap and fresh water flow out. We press the switch and light come on. The cleaning of the streets and removal of filth and garbage are only possible in organized society. Telegraph, telephone and train are all benefits of collective efforts, and then TV and radio give us both enjoyment and instruction.

We must repay society for all these gifts. If a shopkeeper gives shot measure and sells sub-standard good, he must be prepared to get the same treatment from others. If a milkman maxes water in milk, how he can expect to treat him fairly. If we ignore traffic rules, we not only put in danger other lives but our own as well.
  
 It is our responsibility to be patriotic and loyal to our countries. We must understand the problems facing our country, and cooperate with government to solve them. Most of underdeveloped countries have the same problems, for example, Poverty, illiteracy and population growth. They start programs to solve them; these programs include programs for rural development, literacy and adult education, health, sanitation, social welfare, and population planning. Education center, family and social welfare and population planning center are set up throughout the country.
