Abstract
A major component of any concept of a “good” citizen will address issues of which values constitute such a person. Definitions, explanations or types of “good” citizen are characterized by values statements, such as an honest person, a responsible citizen, or a fair person. These are clearly values, ones that can be developed from a multitude of sources over time, and which together, can contribute to the concept of a “good” citizen.
