Rights, Roles and Responsibilities of Citizens So 4.4 explore how ideologies shape individual and collective citizenship So 4.5 examine perspective on the rights, roles and responsibilities of the individual in a democratic society (respect for law and order, protest, civil disobedience, political participation) So 4.6 examine perspectives on the rights, roles and responsibilities of the individual during times of conflict ( humanitarian crises, antiwar movements, pro- democracy movements, contemporary examples) 1

Differing Ideologies... People have different points of view about rights, roles and responsibilities as citizens. This can be linked to many factors – ideological beliefs and values and personal experiences. 2

RIGHTS, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CITIZENS Chapter 15 : Pages

Respect for Law and Order one responsibility of citizenship is to obey the laws of the community in which you live. These laws are part of a contract we agree to follow as citizens of a community. Laws can be adapted from citizen feedback. Justice system – police officers, judges, prosecutors, ensure the laws are followed. 4

More than just the responsibility to follow the laws.... COP – Citizens on Patrol – keeping communities safe Guardian Angels – volunteers to enforce community laws. 5

Political Participation – Why & How A desire on citizens to affect change may encourage citizens in a democratic country to participate in the political process. – Write a letter to your mayor, MLA, newspaper – Circulate a petition – school, community or online – Organize a rally to protest an issue – Take an issue to the Human Commission if your rights have been violated – Run for public office – Join or support a political party – VOTE! – Join an Interest Group (Amnesty International ) 6

Humanitarianism Crisis situations ( poverty, natural disasters, abuse) often influence citizens to interpret and act on their rights, roles and responsibilities. 7

Protest and Civil Disobedience The freedom to question the decisions made by our government is an important element of democracy. When people feel their voices are not being heard, demonstrations or protests are often organized. Civil disobedience – non-violent action taken against something perceived as unjust. 8

CITIZENS AND GOVERNMENT DURING TIMES OF CONFLICT Chapter 15: Pages

Citizenship and Aboriginal Participation in the First and Second World War Sometimes, despite decisions made by their government, citizens as individuals or collectives, take action based on their ideological convictions. In WWI & WWII, Aboriginal soldiers accepted the responsibilities of Canadian citizenship, even though the Canadian government had not granted them the rights of citizenship. 10

Aboriginal Participation – many Aboriginal people were feeling betrayed by the Canadian Gov’t as a result of colonial policies of assimilation and discrimination But Aboriginal people still volunteered in large numbers for the war effort 11

Aboriginal Participation Many Aboriginal men were skilled trappers and hunters, they were often called on to act as patrol leaders, safely guiding soldiers through dangerous enemy territory. The armed Forces was the only place where some Aboriginal men were treated equally in society. Unfortunately post WWI & WWII, Gov’t benefits to Aboriginals were less than non aboriginal benefits. 12

2001 Governor General dedication GG Adrian Clarkson dedicated the Aboriginal Veterans War Monument in Ottawa – a gesture to thank Aboriginal soldiers for the role they played in fighting for Canada in several wars. 13

Citizenship and Anti-War Movements Individuals can express their citizenship in a democratic society by taking part in movements or protests against their gov’ts decision to participate or not participate in war. 14

Citizenship and Anti-War Movements- The Vietnam Anti-War Movement North Vietnam vs. South Vietnam (USA backed) Attempt to hold back communism Anti-War movement began slowly in the 1960’s as public opinion generally supported limited US intervention. The spread of communism was seen as a threat to the values of Liberalism (Cold War Period) and capitalism and the American way of life. 15

Vietnam With the increase of American casualties, many Americans began to question the legitimacy of American involvement in the war. 16

Muhammed Ali Refused to be drafted into the military – opinion polls showed that the majority of Americans did not think that US interference in the politics of a foreign country was legitimate. Thus the anti-war movement grew. 17

Anti-War Movement Began in US colleges and universities during the 1960’s when more troops were being sent to Vietnam By the end of 1968, soldiers in Vietnam November 15, 1969 – the largest peace march in US history brought protesters to Washington 18

Media and the Anti War Protests - Vietnam Television had a huge impact on public opinion and helped the anti-war movement grow. Many American’s began to question their country’s role in Vietnam and their own responsibility as citizens. 19

Anti-War Protests and the War in Iraq March 20, 2003 the USA, Great Britain and other countries invaded Iraq In months leading up to the invasion many people help anti- war rallies and marches In Canada, anti-war protests were held in cities across the country-Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax. 20

Citizenship and Pro-democracy Movements November , citizens of the Ukraine went to the polls to vote in a presidential election. Candidates: Viktor Yushchenko (pro-Western candidate) and Viktor Yanukovych backed by the Russian Gov’t Problems for Yushchenko during the campaign – interference by Yanukovych and dioxin poisoning. Blood tests showed he was poisoned with a key ingredient of Agent Orange – a herbicide used in the Vietnam war 21

The Orange Revolution On election day, numerous allegations of election fraud, voter intimidation, multiple voting and the burning of ballot boxes in areas of strong Yshchenko support. Yanukovych was declared the winner of the election. Nov. 22 – the following day massive protests erupted against the election results. 22

The Orange Revolution Hundreds of thousands of people, many wearing orange (Yushchenko’s campaign colors) descended on central Kiev to peacefully state their objection to the apparent election fraud and to begin a pro-democracy movement in the Ukraine. It lasted 2 weeks, eventually a new election was held and Yushchenko won. A peaceful protest by citizens changed the history of a country. 23

Pro-democracy Movements in Myanmar Previously known as Burma has been ruled by the military since Since the late 1980’s many clashes between pro- democracy supporters and the gov’t have led to the arrests, imprisonment, and deaths of thousands of pro-democracy supporters each year. 24

Pro-democracy Movements in Myanmar Democratic candidate won an overwhelming victory in a 1990 election, but the results have been ignored by the Myanmar government. 25

CITIZENS AND GOVERNMENT DURING TIMES OF PEACE Chapter 15: pages

Famine Relief in Africa 1984 BBC reported that a civil war and drought in Ethiopia had resulted in a massive famine. Over a million died, 8 million were facing starvation. Canadian Gov’t gave $50 million, but since then money has not been consistent. 27

Tears are Not Enough Canadian, British and American musicians began organizing concerts (Live Aid, We Are the World, Northern Lights-Tears are not enough) donated time and talent to raise $$ for the victims of Ethiopia 28

Responding to the 2004 Tsunami 2004 powerful earthquake off the coast of Indonesia caused a tsunami that hit countries in the Indian Ocean region people died and millions were left homeless Canadian gov’t would match individual Canadian donations - $425 million sent over in total 29

Responding to Climate Change Environmental issues concern many Canadians. The way citizens respond to global warming and its effects depends on how they see their rights and responsibilities regarding the environment. (becomes a global issue) Some citizens join political parties (Green party) which advocates care of the environment 30
