Perfect Citizen Concept Map

Perfect Citizen Concept Map

1. Utopian Society

   • In my own utopian society, the perfect citizen is peaceful, progressive and follow the moral and values of its society, which are based on the 6 pillars of character: caring, respect, responsability, citizenship, trustworthiness, fairness.

2. 1984

   • According to George Orwell, the perfect citizen is one who rebels against it´s own government. A citizen that thinks for itself regardless of the government´s laws

3. Thoreau

   • Thoreau describes how a perfect citizen is one that is selfless but selfish as well. One who is emotionally strong and independent with an unbreakable will, morals and values.

4. If- Kipling

   • Kipling´s viewpont of a perfect citizen is one that is a true man and his concept for man is beyond explanation. Basically, everything that makes a person outstanding: determination, ambition, strenght, worthy, empathic, humble, make a perfect citizen. I would agree only with Kipling´s style beacause IF there is a perfect government, THEN there could be a perfect citizen

5. Civil Disobedience - Auden

   • Auden´s mindset of a perfect citizen is the one that relates to my view of it the closest. I believe there is No Perfect Citizen and Auden describes it briefly as an "unknown citizen". It doesn´t really talks about a specific being, it´s closer related to a collective view of an certain ideology. The "unknown citizen" can be any common citizen or it can be non-existant.

6. Political Correctness

   • What defines what is political correct? The government may dictate what is political correct or not, but our values, morals, and emotions can influence in our actions towards a situation where a person commits something that, according to that person´s government, is political correct. Based on this ideology, it is possible to have a perfect citizen if the government that dictates political correctness is perfect by definition.
