MODULE 7. UNFOLDING THE EMERGING FACETS OF THE SELF

            All of us are members of the society; we are obliged to contribute in our community. As a citizen, we have our duties and responsibilities as well like the elected officials. We have the power to vote the rightful people to have a position inside the government. Politics runs with power. No one can run for politics if no one has money. Some people have high positions due to their power regardless if they are qualified to be in that position. As long as a running candidate has the power and connection, he/she may win. Active citizenship is defined as the process of sharing decisions that may affect one’s life or the life of the whole community. It is also a practice of democracy.
