First-Year Seminar: What Does it Mean to be a Good Citizen?

What, if any, responsibilities accompany democratic citizenship? Voting? Active participation in political meetings? Obeying laws? Volunteering in one's community? Preserving natural resources for future generations? Adhering to certain values? Protesting unjust laws? This course offers an overview of the different ways in which Americans have answered these questions. Students may not receive credit for both SCLL 85 and SCLL 185 .
