As a young citizen of the United States of America, I am entitled to certain rights. I also have responsibility to others in this country and to my country, as well.
RIGHTS Definition: Things that you are allowed to do
Types of Rights People put rights into all kinds of categories, but here are the two main groups with some examples. Political Rights Allow people to participate in the political process. We need participation to have democracy. Personal Rights Allow people to live how they want as long as it doesn’t get in the way of other people’s rights.
Types of Rights People put rights into all kinds of categories, but here are the two main groups. Political Rights Personal Rights • Freedom of the Press • People can print the • facts they want • Freedom of Speech People can say what they think! • Right to Equal Protection Under Law • Freedom from Discrimination People must be treated equally! • Right to Assemble • People can meet together! • Right to own Property • Freedom to Petition • People can ask the government for change without fear! • Freedom of Religion People can believe what they want! • Right to Vote • People can elect representatives and vote on issues! • Freedom of Movement People can go where and when they want! We can gather and speak our minds!
Most people know who the President of the United States is. Do you? How about the Governor of New Jersey? His name is Chris Christie Speaking of the Right to Vote
Do I Have Rights? Blaaaah blah blahhh blah… As a student, you have rights, but your rights are limited to protect you and your peers. For example, you can’t say whatever you want in a speech at a school event. Your school can require you to be respectful and appropriate. When you are an adult, you have more freedom to do and say what you want. And if it’s in public, it should be truthful and based on facts, not emotion only. It is important for students to have limited rights in school, since most students do not have the maturity at this age to handle the responsibilities involved.
What Do All These Rights Mean For Me? There you go again! Explain yourself! With rights, or freedoms, come… RESPONSIBILITY!!!
RESPONSIBILITIES Oh! Stuff we’re supposed to do! Means: Students are expected to take care of certain things or perform duties
Types of Responsibility Just like rights, there are different kinds of responsibilities. 2. Social Responsibilities 2A. Things you should do! • Stay Informed • Tolerate Others • Protect Public Safety • Register to Vote • Speak Your Mind Yo Mr. R’s class! Wot’sHappenin’ Dudes? 1. Personal Duties 1A. Things you have to do! • Jury Duty • Pay Taxes • Obey Laws • Register for Selective Service • Get an Education
I’m a student… Do I have responsibilities?? Yes! As a student, your list of responsibilities might look a little different. Your list may not include voting, but it probably includes respectingauthority.
See Ya! Now act like responsible young adults!
