Assignment 3 (Good Citizens)A good citizen is someone who contributes to the community and or their local area. They
could be collecting litter or recycling to help reproduce used bottles. A good citizen also pays
all bills what are due on time, pays taxes and work hard at their job, reducing

time they have on members of the public and helping the community, but whilst they are doing this
