Citizenship and diversity
Citizenship is the state of being gifted with rights, privileges and duties of
a citizen, or a member of society who behaves in a respectable manor
and treats everyone equal. No matter race, ethnicity or sexuality, and
citizen is a person who lives in their place of residence, but you can
become a British citizen if you are not from the UK. You may be eligible
if:
You have a British parent
You have another type of British nationality
You do not have a nationally of any country (stateless)
You have previously given up your citizenship
You were born in the UK, but your parents aren't from the UK you
could be eligible to be a British citizen.
You have been married to a British citizen for the last 3 years
But there is a criteria you must follow upon becoming a British citizen you
have to:
Be 18 years of age
Have a sound mind: you have no mental health concerns and
that you are not going to do anything stupid like a terrorist attack.
Be a good character: have no criminal record or any prison time
, Knowledge of the language: so you can read your bills that come
through the door or that you write a cv out
Five years in the UK: this is in place as if you have been in
the UK for 6 months you could get you citizenship then go back to your
original country
If you are eligible for a citizenship, there is a 6 month process you will
need to go through. Which will include several different parts, but the
main ones are the application process, the test to see if you know enough
about the UK and the history. you will need 18/24 to pass and be allowed
to live in the UK, and the last step is when your collecting
your certificate you have to say the oath or the affirmation of
allegiance to her majesty the queen and the pledge of loyalty to the
United Kingdom this a formal promise to her majesty the queen.
The public services view on citizenship is helpful. As the citizens that
report crimes or being witnesses, but the biggest one is the
specials. These are the voluntary police, they do around 4 hours a week
and have the same powers of normal police, but they don’t get paid. So,
this helps the police out as they have more men and women. As well if
everyone were a good citizen the police would have no job to
do. So, the more, good citizens the better.
