Savenkova O.L.

What is my role in the life of the state? Am I a good citizen? What is my civil position? Over the years, I increasingly think about these questions, because both my life and the life of society depend on the answers to them. Who is a citizen? A citizen, for me, is a conscientious member of society who loves his homeland, fights for its good, does not remain indifferent to its problems and works to make tomorrow better than the previous one.

From the moment of birth, a person becomes a citizen. The state takes him under its wing, providing him with security and confidence in the future. In turn, a citizen not only undertakes to follow the basic law of the state (the Constitution), but also to be an active member of society, work and live for the prosperity of the state.

In addition, a modern citizen needs an active civic position, because expressing his personal opinion about what is happening in the country and the world is one of the ways to influence the solution of any problems.

My civil position is very simple. And every aspect of it is reflected in my large and friendly family, which, despite its ups and downs, continued to love its Motherland and works for its good.

Any family is a part of the world. And therefore, a lot depends on the fate of an individual family. For example, the family of A.S. Pushkin with N. Gorcharova. It was Natalie who became the support and support of Alexander Sergeevich, and thanks to her, priceless poems were born, which are the property of world literature to this day. Another example is Walt Disney, the famous cartoonist who gave the world Mickey Mouse. Who would have thought, but the idea of ​​creating a cartoon, he owes his uncle, who told then young Walt that he had a clear artistic talent, and provided him with a workshop, in the form of a garage in his house. Thus, family relationships, mutual understanding are inextricably linked with the culture of society as a whole. One of the greats said: “It is important for a person to know his roots - then the air we breathe will be healing and tasty. Fatherland is not just the country in which we live, it is the land of the fathers, which we love and protect ”.

Native land. She feeds us with bread, drinks from her springs and surprises with her beauty. But she cannot defend herself. We are obliged to do it for her! It so happened that our grandfathers and great-grandfathers lived in wartime. A difficult and honorable fate fell to their lot - to defend their Fatherland so that their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren could live better.

Both of my great-grandfathers fought. Even after death, they are for me an inexhaustible source of valor and courage, courage and heroism! When they went to the front they were not even 20 years old! And which of our youth will decide on such a feat, for the sake of their Motherland, for the sake of their children to live in peace? My answer: units. And not because they are afraid, not at all. And due to the fact that they do not feel patriotism in their hearts, do not see the beauty of our homeland, do not find a reason to fight for it ... This is not the fault of the feelings of an individual, but the degradation of the values ​​of society as a whole. Therefore, one of the points of my civil position is patriotism, imbued with the spirit of love for the fields, rivers, for the endless riches of the Russian land!

A full-fledged citizen, for me, is a person who not only loves the Motherland, but also a person who has a family and who knows his roots. The biography of the family forms the biography of the whole country! Words by O.S. Savinkova fully reflect my attitude to my family, to its role in my life.

My family is my anchor

the only thing that keeps me alive.

Without what was and will be in my family,

everything loses its meaning.

I remember and love everyone.

My family is a conscientious unit of society, each of whose members throughout their lives fulfilled their duty to their Fatherland. My grandparents were born after the war and they had a difficult task - the restoration of destroyed cities. They volunteered for the construction site to reconstruct their native and beloved city of Sevastopol. After the wedding, we moved to the city of Primorsko-Akhtarsk, where my dad and four of his brothers were born.

My heart fills with special warmth when I start talking about my mother. She and dad are my support and support. My mother is a kind and loving woman who devoted her whole life to raising me and my older brother. As far back as I can remember, she always remained strong, she demanded the same from us. Family is what helps us not to be alone in a lonely and indifferent world. Therefore, everyone should have it, because each of us is worthy to love and be loved. This is how the fate of a small family intertwined with the biography of a huge country.

I and the people around me are indifferent pieces of an inseparable puzzle called life. But you can often find in life people who live according to the principle: "My house is on the edge, I don't know anything." This is the principle of indifferent people who violate the moral norms of society. And I think that we need to actively intervene in life, not wait for others to do something for you, take part in specific deeds. And do it now, do not wait until you grow up, become an adult, and you will have more opportunities. As the French philosopher - materialist K.A. Helvetius: "Be a citizen, for your homeland is needed for your safety, for your pleasures, for your well-being." And I completely agree with him.

Meditation

My civil position

What is meant by "civil position"? Civil position is a conscious participation of a person in the life of society, reflecting his conscious real actions in relation to the environment, which are aimed at realizing social values ​​with a reasonable balance of personal and public interests.

The components of an active civic position are: social activity, civic consciousness and civic qualities.

To define my civic position, I turned to these components.

The first component is social activity. It can be defined as a conscious, creative attitude to labor and social activities, as a result of which the self-realization of the individual is ensured. My self-realization is carried out through social life in the classroom, school, district, region. This is participation in promotions, contests, events of different levels and directions.

I like to be at the center of all undertakings

participate in competitions, school affairs.

Plan a way to achieve goals,

Show yourself only from the good side!

The second component is civic consciousness, which develops based on a life position, awareness, assessment by a person of his moral image and interests, that is, a holistic assessment of himself as a bearer of a socially significant position. Currently, my socially significant position is expressed in getting an education at school. Studying at school allows me to gain knowledge, not only within the framework of the school curriculum. There are all the possibilities to determine the range of your hobbies and realize them.

In our area, among many schools,

There is one in which I came to study.

There is one, but, however, do not take into account everything,

The first school is my pride and honor!

The third component is civic qualities. This is, first of all, a feeling of love for the Motherland, a sense of responsibility for their actions and actions, initiative, independence. I can say with confidence and pride that I am a proactive, creative, responsible, independent person.

I am the main assistant teacher in the class,

On the Student Council, I am the commander.

I lead like-minded people together,

We are learning to build life brick by brick!

In addition, an active civic position, I believe, must necessarily presuppose the presence of interest in public work, initiative, diligence, awareness of personal significance, the presence of organizational skills.

Citizenship should not be in words, but in concrete deeds.

A person gets the opportunity to show his attitude to people, society, to find ways of practical realization of himself in interaction with the world around him in activity.

Unfortunately, modern Russia is in short supply of disinterested people. And therefore it is glad to hear that schoolchildren in our city are happy to join the ranks of volunteers. I am one of them. This fully demonstrates my active civic position.

Voluntary work allows you to realize a sense of personal civic responsibility for what is happening. Volunteering provides an opportunity to gain social experience, get recommendations for further advancement and career growth.

I am the leader of the "Young Volunteer" volunteer team

I am leading the propaganda of a healthy lifestyle.

I help the elderly and only live with goodness.

Being a volunteer is cool!

After all, if there is strength, they cannot be wasted.

And it is better to spend them for the good - to help people.

It's nice to see gratitude in the faces of those who forged success for the Victory of the Motherland!

It's nice to see the happiness of joy in the eyes of children, and the world becomes brighter from this.

It's so nice to help people, and not for money, without a reward - just like that!

To be a volunteer today means to openly declare your readiness to help those in need of social protection, to take initiative, to strive for self-development and self-improvement, it means to be a moral person, spiritually rich, internally free, able to be happy and bring happiness and goodness to other people, it means to be worthy citizen and patriot of his country.

I would like to conclude with the words “I want the successes of my generation to form the basis for the development of our beloved city”.

"My Citizenship"

There are things that cannot be entrusted to others.
There are things to be done personally.
Vladimir Putin

A prosperous state! .... It is hardly possible to find such a person who would not dream about it. This is to my liking, and to me, a young citizen of Russia, who lives in a small Kuban village, where everyone who leaves is seen off as his own, with tears in his eyes and with pain in his heart, where, like a drop of water, all the problems of a big country and its citizens are reflected. But I love this land, I was born here, and my childhood passed here. It, like a spring from which a song begins, gives strength - wings to a person for life. Magic land!

The blessed Sun Valley is spreading! And here is my friend, a crystal clear spring under a cliff, beating from the very heart of the earth. In summer, the water in it is so cold that it gives off a pain in the teeth. From this inexhaustible source begins the road of those who go to the army and those who go to study in big cities. He will gladly meet those who return home after school to help earthlings renew their nest. I often ask myself the question: what will I return to my home, how will I thank the people who have done so much for me, how I will decorate that home corner where I took the first step, my first discovery of the world and where I am going to raise my children.

Many are looking for a better life, go abroad, to warmer regions, and then suffer from nostalgia. I want to live my life with my people and share with them both sadness and joy, and give my strength, knowledge, talent to serve them. A person becomes a person through love. Love, strengthened by labor for the good of those with whom you live next to, grows into a great feeling of an inextricable connection with the Motherland. This feeling makes us fair and unites us in the fight against those who disturb the order in our common home. Do we always remember that we, the people living on it, decorate the Earth? The fate of the country, the fate of the planet depends on how we live our day, and even more so our life. And this is not an exaggeration.

I am grateful to my school that she taught me to think about life's problems, to look at the world with serious and amazing eyes, and most importantly - to take responsibility for a lot that happens, even if you are stuffing yourself with bumps. I am 16 years old, I am an adult, and I do not want to be an outside observer in this life, I want to be in the thick of things, I will never sit in a hole like a wise minnow.
Nobody was obliged to create the World of Paradise Pleasure for us. Nobody promised us that we would sit under an apple tree, eat apples and drink jelly from a jelly swamp. This world is like a training room for our souls, and it cannot be blissful. Rather, the opposite is true. The world is good for our spiritual growth. And we young people are ready to transform it. We will come to where we are needed: to the factory, to science, to power. Who, if not me, will take responsibility for this village, and people, and nature, and the country.

I believe that deep knowledge, colored by a strong feeling and special attitude to the world, will make behavior purposeful and consistent and help you achieve success. Only young people have a special view of the world, we have non-standard ideas, and most importantly, we are eager, we are interested in everything. I am glad that my age to get the right to vote starts at 18 years old. The state provides us with equal opportunities. We get access to various rights, and their implementation depends only on the person himself. So I want to use the right given to me. Who if not me? Here is my civic position!

Life is stressful every day, carefully checking ourselves and controlling, it is probably difficult, but this is the necessary charge of reliability, without which we will feel insecure.To educate ourselves as a reliable person means to educate ourselves as a state person, because only seriously and creatively treating you can achieve success for yourself and for others. If from childhood you touch the concerns of the country, and they become your own, then a sense of responsibility for its fate will always guide your actions in adulthood.

Local self-government bodies provide ample opportunities for citizens to participate in the political process, make it possible to play an active, political role. I think for active young people this will be the first experience of getting involved in state affairs and the first steps of management, manifestation of their active life position.

For a prosperous state, it is necessary that citizens obey the laws. In a large family, everyone must do his own thing: the legislative branch develops and adopts laws, the executive one implements, and the judiciary monitors their violation. Bad laws in good hands are good; and the best laws in the hands of bad executors are harmful. Responsibility is the price we are willing to pay for power.

I believe that the future of our country depends on us; we are full of strength, energy, it is only necessary to develop faith in ourselves, to prepare ourselves to become good legislators and executors. We will have to go through a difficult path, but there will always be senior comrades by our side. They will help, direct our energy in the right direction. But, first of all, we must earn the respect of people who would believe us and entrust their destinies to our hands. In the meantime, I study, diligently study law, social science, literature, history and culture of our state. I am engaged in scientific activities, I strive to think large-scale, I learn to defend my own position, I try to ensure that no worthwhile business in school and the countryside passes without my participation and, of course, I struggle with my shortcomings.

We must prove ourselves as active, thinking, proactive people who do not allow compromises if they run counter to people's interests. In this readiness of the young generation to come to the authorities, in the striving for continuous renewal of society - a source of faith .... No, not everything is decided at the top!

It depends on each of us how we will live tomorrow. One cannot be indifferent to the fate of the people and the country, because indifference is worse than betrayal! My faith in small lights warms me in my soul, and it becomes brighter and more joyful to live. I believe that in two years I will read my name on the ballot - for the sake of this village, my fellow villagers, my beloved spring and the great country that we call Russia. After all, life is just beginning!

Active youth is a prosperous state! I would like to add: and happy people

I thought for a long time about this topic, what does it mean to be proud that you are a citizen of Kazakhstan? It turned out to be incomprehensible and somehow distant to me. A citizen is, first of all, a certain subject involved in politics, with all the ensuing consequences.

In this case, I could only be proud of the beautifully written constitution. A citizen is something faceless, he can be of any nationality, be born anywhere, speak a completely different language, keep a different country in his heart, but have Kazakhstani citizenship. Yes - a citizen, but what's next: rights, duties, as such, do not mean anything for the soul, for patriotism, for love in the end for the Motherland. And I just decided to write about my historical homeland - about Kazakhstan. About my feelings for her. For a person, there is nothing more precious and more beautiful than the native land, native speech. We feel our belonging to something through the prism of art, poetry, science, through people, through the nature of the native area that surrounds us, and which soars in an invisible wind in our souls, wherever we are. We are who we are - the children of our land. What for me personally is my homeland is the side in which my heart lies, cute knick-knacks of manual labor, a slightly familiar smell from childhood that will cover for a second and suddenly - then the heart will squeeze in the memory of those who are not around. Pine forests from childhood that seemed so large and dark. And as if in opposition to them, the memories of the huge, almost endless yellow fields of sunflower. ... The fields of wheat spread out under the high southern sky, solemn fences of poplars and birches. The way the sun reflected in the lakes shines blindingly, jumping like bunnies along the wavy edge of your land. You are different in my homeland, but you are so alone in every corner. They died for you, for your dear land, where people keep their hearts. For the people you bring to this world. You had a great past, and I want to make your future just as great. If someone knits the threads of your story on the needles of fate, then I will try to become a part of this thread. Or at least give me the opportunity to see how you will rise and wake up for new events, for new people, for what lies ahead of us. However, this does not mean that Kazakhstan is so perfect, no. Not always, not in everything and not everywhere. There are moments to which we close our eyes, and brush them aside as spoiling the view. Every day we meet with what is unpleasant for us, what is unworthy of our homeland. Only we ourselves can fix this. You just don't have to think that nothing depends on us. We must learn to express ourselves, to show our best, high-quality sides. Not live only a consumer life, but develop, read books, listen to interesting music, be interested in scientific achievements, politics, communicate with good people, develop your creativity, bringing something new to this world. Raise children and talk with them on spiritual topics, reveal talents in them. And then, perhaps, there will be something to be proud of in the future and present Motherland.
