Abstract
Citizenship
has been a topic for many great theorists such as Plato,
Aristotle, Cicero, Hobbes, Locke, Marx, Rousseau,
McWilliams, Mill and many others too numerous to
mention. This senior project focuses on many of these
authors as well as others, in an attempt to construct a
model citizen. There are many bridges to cross before
such a model can be constructed. The road to the model
citizen will require brief glimpses at vast subjects
including what a democracy is, what forms of
representation are evident in our society, the different
levels and concepts of participation, and a host of
others.
The point of this project is three-fold. One goal
is to develop an ideal citizen. The second goal is to
look at data about political activities and see if the
citizens of the United States live up to the ideals of
my citizen. The third area to be covered concerns
recommendations to help the United States have more and
better participation.
