2. Recapping Effective Citizenship
What does effective citizenship mean?
Is it exercising our civic rights and responsibilities in relation to belonging to a nation? i.e. voting.
Or is it about contributing to society for the greater good of others?
Is it only defined as belonging to a nation or can we define citizenship, as belonging to a democratic society within a nation, which is part of a wider international context and a shared democratic culture.

Greenpeace some actions have been outside the realms of international law. In trying to protect endangered species and to preserve the environment, anti- whaling and anti-logging groups have had to take actions which have broken the nationally and internationally agreed upon laws. Therefore the group doesn’t always work within established institutions and systems but is working towards transforming and creating international systems for environmental protection.
Sea Shepherd Consider the recent example of Peter Bethune, anti-whalng activist. He broke international maritime laws. Were his actions a step too far? How did Greenpeace view his actions?
