Abstract

The aim of the present study is to point out linguistic, historical, and political differences, which render common thinking difficult in the field of citizenship education. In a historical analysis, we seek answers to questions of the present time.

Amongst all knowledge taught at school, citizenship education is the most dependent on the social-political system of a given state. In this theme precise definitions are more necessary than generally expected in educational matters.

This study calls attention to problems which may help clarify background meanings of technical terms used in different languages and also provide aid in the realization of a more efficient citizenship education.
