Civics

What is civics? Civics is the study of or science of the privileges and obligations of citizens.

There is civic responsibility which are things we should do but are not required to do such as helping people in need, not loitering, and being respectful to others. Civic duties are things people have to do for their country such a voting and obeying laws. Both are things to make life for yourself and others better and more efficient.

Civics overall is the respect that everyone, not matter where they are from or where they live, should know and follow. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people do not respect others while they are talking. This includes interrupting someone who is speaking, ignoring a person who is speaking, or being loud and disruptive while someone is speaking. This means that the civic responsibility that I see to be most important is to listen and respect people while they are speaking. You might disagree with them, or they may be saying the stupidest thing you have ever heard but you should not rude enough to start talking while they are halfway through their thoughts.

So do not interrupt someone else while they speak, it is rude and disrespectful. And it just creates a mess. Wait for people to finish their thoughts before starting your own. No one likes to be cut off halfway through a sentence, so why do you do it to others?
