 Question 1

1.1. Discuss what is meant by the following:

A) Modern democracy

Modern democracy refers to a form of government in which the power to make decisions and rules is
held by the citizens of the country or exercised on their behalf by elected representatives. In a
modern democracy the citizens of a country vote and elect a political party to rule the country on
their behalf. Citizens have human agency in a democracy and participate in a collective self-ruling
government. Human rights are being protected and people have a active role or participation in
ruling the country. (Chapter 4 - Page 96)

B) Citizenship education

Citizenship education refers to different ways of developing people as members of a society or
nation and educating children from early childhood to become clear-thinking and enlightened
citizens who can participate in decisions concerning society. Such education contains but is not
limited to teaching people formally or informally about values, norms, practices, duties, and
obligations that they need to adopt to function optimally in a society. Citizenship education gives
people the knowledge and skills to understand, challenge and engage with democratic society
including politics, the media, civil society, the economy, and the law.
(Chapter 4 - Page 95)

1.2. Discuss the two types of citizenship education, and indicate which approach (active or
passive) you think is the best one for learners. Substantiate your answer.

There are two types of citizenship education: active and passive. Passive citizenship education is
characterized by the transmission of knowledge about citizenship through the formal curriculum,
while active citizenship education emphasizes the development of skills, attitudes, and values
through active participation in the community.

Active approach is the best one for learners. This is because active citizenship education encourages
learners to engage with their communities and take an active role in shaping their society. It
promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, which are essential for
effective citizenship. Active citizenship education also fosters a sense of responsibility and
commitment to the common good, which is important for building a strong and cohesive society.

Passive citizenship education, on the other hand, may not be as effective in promoting active
citizenship. It may lead to a passive acceptance of the status quo and a lack of engagement with the
community. While passive citizenship education can provide learners with knowledge about
citizenship, it may not necessarily translate into active participation in the community.
