Short Note Or Summary On Responsibilities Of A Good Citizen

Many thousands years ago men lived in caves just like animals. Later on, they learnt to live together a safer and better life. At first, they began to live in families and then in tribes. Later they settled along the banks of rivers where, in time, grew towns large and small. Life became safer, easier and charming. Some men began farming the land. Some became weavers, some masons, some cobblers and some soldiers. They all worked for one another. As societies grew larger, men became more civilized, new professions developed. Laws were made to safeguard people. Today we have doctors, teachers, engineers, artists, writers, policemen and a host of other workers who all do something for their fellowmen. A man alone can not do all works himself for his need, he has to take the help of other.
It is the duty of every citizen to work honestly. We get the same treatment from others as we treat them. So if we want to be treated honestly, we should treat the others honestly. If we want our right, we must give the right of other. To get our rights, we must fulfill our duties. If we want to solve the problems of the country, we should be honest, we should fulfill our duty honestly.
