Please read few features about tribalism, democracy,propaganda and characteristics of good citizenship.Tribalism is the state of being organized in or advocating for a tribe. The same is a culture of thinking or behaving in which people are more loyal to their tribe rather than their friends, their country, or any other social group. Tribalism implies the possession of a strong cultural or ethnic identity that separates one member of a group from the members of another group. Based on strong relations of proximity and kinship, members of a tribe tend to possess a strong feeling of identity. Objectively, for a customary tribal society to form there needs to be ongoing social organization and exchange.

Tribalism has a very adaptive effect in human evolution. Tribalism and ethnocentrism help to keep individuals committed to the group, even when personal relations may fray. This keeps individuals from wandering off or joining other groups. It also leads to bullying when a tribal member is unwilling to conform to the politics of the collective. Socially, divisions between groups fosters specialized interactions with others, based on association: altruism (positive interactions with unrelated members), kin-selectivity (positive interactions with related members), and violence (negative interactions).Tribal propaganda is unethical. Propaganda is Common media for transmitting propaganda messages through news reports, radio, television, websites etc. Propaganda campaigns often follow a strategic transmission pattern to indoctrinate the target group.

Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally either directly or through elected representatives in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally either directly or through elected representatives in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. It encompasses social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self determination. Democracy contrasts with forms of government where power is either held by one person, as in a monarch or where power is held by a small number of individuals.

This principle is adapted by the democratic civilized world, which Somali-land shared with their presumption and principles, but unfortunately, some Somali-land politicians has translated this principle as tribal weapon to defend illegally in the event one of their blood related personality commit illegitimate deeds .In accordance with customary world-wide, no one can has right advocating for issues, which is harmful to national interest, as a number Somali-land politicians are busy engaged creating and forming confrontation just for the sake of their self interest or tribal interest which is possibly can consequence unsteadiness and insecurity of our country.

A good citizen is one who is a good person who respects his country’s government various institutions and free from tribal mentality as exercised by Somali-land politicians like Boobe Yusuf Duale. It is a man’s everyday behavior and his everyday virtues which count and contribute to his character. A good citizen is one whose behavior is consistent with the canons of self-respect and social justice and he should be reliable both in peace and war. The first and foremost quality asked of a good citizen is patriotism. He should have a genuine love for his country and should have a sense of involvement in its day to day affairs, in its economic policies and its international relationships. There are many views as to what good citizenship but it is generally labelled as those how performs a role to become a useful member of society. This involves duties and possibilities that may be expressed through laws and regulations, or implied through the recognition of right and wrong. Citizenship, in its general sense, is being part of a community, with the person acquiring the privileges and responsibilities of such citizenship. Particular emphasis must be made on the fact that citizenship is a privilege, and its grant is left to the discretion of the state whose citizenship is being sought.

Good citizenship lies mostly in the recognition that members of a community must work together to improve their lives and enhance their relationship with one another. Essential factors toward achieving this include doing volunteer work, initiating community programs, and participating in economic affairs. Some countries recognize the importance of knowing and understanding what good citizenship requires and have created citizenship education programs. Education promotes good judgment, thus it is considered an essential factor for good citizenship. A good citizen is a necessary part of a progressive of his country. As covered by the common convention theory, a government is established to manage interaction among citizens, define an individual’s rights, enforce these rights, and make sure just compensation is obtained when these rights are violated. From this leadership arises good citizenship, allowing every citizen to expect others to accord respect for his or her legally demand-able rights.

There are other many characteristics of good citizenship, but the most basic is the moral duty to recognize the rights of others and take care not to infringe upon them. Another important characteristic is the ability to listen to the views of others, because from these views may spring solutions to problems deliberated upon by the community. A good citizen is also willing to adapt to new situations, as well as make quick decisions in matters that need immediate attention. In conclusion, a good citizen knows and obeys the laws of the land, for he or she acknowledges that laws are promulgated with his or her welfare in mind. Based on these factors, good citizenship is said to utilize both the intellectual and social skills of a citizen. Every good citizen makes his country’s honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and it’s conscious that he gains protection while he gives it. All of us are citizens and citizenship carries responsibilities.
