=Universally a Good Citizen=

Most people view citizenship as a representation of what country your from. To me citizenship is much more. We are all citizens on many more levels than just a national one. For instance we are citizens in the state we live in, the city we live in, and also the community we live in. Every one on the planet is a citizen of the world. Many individuals are also citizens of groups like churches as well.

So with different levels of citizenship there is also different criterias to meet to be a good citizen.

At the local level citizens represent the strongest stakeholder. The laws, and decisions that affect everyday life are voted on here. As a citizen on the local level there are many issues that you may face. One of the most prominant is funding. Since the local level government isn't an entity in its own it depends on the levels above it to provide a large portion of its funding. This dependency makes it important for citizens to make sure that their voices are heard in the state legislatures. This task is considerably easier today than it has been in the past, and that is because a citizen can check on exactly how their representative vote online. In some states, including Wisconsin, citizens can view the assembly meetings when they are in session or after they are over.
