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
unemployment level. A good citizen is someone who puts others first and may even go

A volunteer in the public service has good citizenship skills as they are devoting their own personal
time they have on members of the public and helping the community, but whilst they are doing this
they are not being paid in any way. They are also gaining life skills and experience at the same time,
this is important for them if they want to join a public service as this gives you a better chance of
being chosen in the selection process.
