Discussion 1
| Answers must be meaningful and relevant; please do not respond by simply saying”I agree” or “I disagree” without explanation. 1. This week after reading Chapter 9 and the online readings: Many Americans have formed their mental images of the Old South form the movie of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind. Was her portrait of the antebellum South accurate? Was the region merely a land of large cotton plantations worked by hundreds mostly contented black slaves? [Please read the question carefully, it does not ask you watch the film in order to take part in the discussion] Include some reflection after reading “Gouge and Bite” article. 2. The Underground Railroad by Levi Coffin 1850 What is the duty of a citizen? When something, morally questionable or even morally wrong, is sanctioned and even actively supported by the government, where does the duty of the citizen lie? Does the citizen oppose the government outright and thereby jeopardize his livelihood and his family’s welfare, or does the good citizen obey the government? Is the answer somewhere in between? | 22 |
Classmate response:
Citizenship refers to the right of the main body should make or not make a certain behavior constraints, such as the enjoyment of a certain right of citizens or legal persons should bear the responsibility. Citizenship is one of the constituent elements of legal relations, to rely on the country’s coercive force (legal or administrative) to ensure the implementation. Any right shall have a corresponding obligation, as provided for by law, in the form of an express (such as a norm of obligation, a prohibition statute), or by implication (as in the case of an authoritative statute). The basic obligation of citizens is the constitutional obligation, which is defined by the Constitution, in order to realize the public interest, the necessity of the citizen must be or not for a certain act. It is the citizens of others, society and the country’s primary legal obligations, is the state and society to create citizens of the general legal obligations of the constitutional basis. Citizens’ basic obligations and fundamental rights together reflect and determine the political and legal status of citizens in the state, constitute the common law of civil rights and justice.
