MyImpact Challenge: Defining Citizenship
Lesson Two – Defining Citizenship
What does citizenship really mean? America’s founders thought that a free society could only stand if citizens answered the challenge to be “virtuous.”
In this lesson, you’ll learn how the founders defined virtue, and how those ideas can translate to “civic virtues” embodied in your own project.
Objectives:
- Define citizenship and its connection to civic virtue.
- Explain why the Founders viewed civic virtue as necessary among citizens.
- Identify individual civic virtues and articulate civic virtues tied to your project.
