Citizenship

This paragraph is about the development of citizenship.  The growth of citizenship through civil rights, political rights, but not social rights.  Civil rights were the legal power that was reduced by prejudice and lack of opportunity to earn money.  Political rights were the potential power and who so ever utilized it demanded experienced personnel within and organization with the changing of ideology being the correct function of the government.   Social rights were not considered part of citizenship at that time due to its lack of influence.  The purpose of citizenship was to reduce the ignorance of poverty without disturbing the regularity of inequality still knowing that being poor is the unpleasant consequence of action.

            I chose this paragraph because I thought it was interesting how the writer was explaining the growth of citizenship at the time.  Also I was able to understand the growth of citizenship at that time because of how it was broken down into the 3 rights.  In conclusion still understanding that poverty was the consequence for the inequality more than likely due to racism.
