Citizenship In Antigone And Cool Hand Luke There is a booklet distributed by the state of Georgia that lists the principle components of citizenship . They are honesty, compassion, respect, courage and responsibility. Each of these requirements represents an aspect of human personality that is characterized as “good” traits. To better understand the vague concept of citizenship, I looked up the term on ask.com and received numerous hits regarding it. Many of the hits were definitions that mostly read “the legal status of being a citizen of a country.” When I found the booklet distributed to elementary age children and it listed all the qualities of a good citizen, I realized that maybe the reason that we, as a society, have such a vague mental definition of citizenship is possibly because the characteristics of a good citizen have been ingrained into our being since childhood. We are no longer able to differentiate being a good person and doing what is right from being a good citizen. Even though sometimes being a good person morally is not the same as being a good person according to the rules of citizenship. Sophocles’ Antigone is a prime example of a citizen, though not a typical one.
