인권[Human Rights]--Right to a Nationality<17>

Parker loves school, especially his social studies classes. Today, the teacher discusses nationality. Parker is a little bit confused.

 

When he gets home, he asks his mother, "What does nationality mean?"

 

His mother explains, "Our nationality is based on the nation that we live in. It means that we are citizens of this country. We identify ourselves with this country, with this nation. Does that make sense?"

 

Parker says, "It depends ... Is it good to be a citizen?"

 

"Well," his mother smiles, "you get help and protection from the country and you can participate in elections. This is when you help choose the people who will lead the country."

 

"That sounds great!" Parker exclaims, "Then I want to be a citizen of this house! I want to get help and protection and chose who will lead the family!"

 

"Hey, not so fast!" his mother laughs. "The right to a nationality is an important right and it comes with responsibility too."

 

"Responsibility?"

 

"Yes, Think of a family," his mother explains. "You get to live in this house and identify yourself as part of this family. The house gives you protection and you work to make the family better. You have responsibilities. You have chores. You do things to make the family and household run smoothly. It is the same with nationality. You are a citizen of this country so you have a responsibility to be a helpful citizen."

 

"Oh, I think I understand," Parker says. "Nationality is pretty cool then. I am glad we have it!"

 

"Yes," his mother agrees, "me too!"
