Answer:

Well, in the dictionary to be a citizen means "an inhabitant of a city or town". I think that it's much more than just that. To be a citizen is participate, fight for the right thigs, work together so we can have a better place to live.

Caring is an important trait for all citizens to have. One must care about others, the environment, the well-being of schools, and even the person driving in the car next to them. One of the assets of living in America is that Americans are a caring nation. They are a nation built on helping others and looking out for our neighbors. This is evident from the various programs such as Welfare and Social Security that help even our most floundering citizens get their feet back on the ground. It is imperative to be caring as a part of Citizenship. Citizenship is being caring.
