Who is a citizen and what is citizenship?

Citizen is one of those terms that we use almost every day, but we seldom think about its meaning. Whenever, there is a discussion on this subject, the discussion is confined to a series of general definitions and implications of theology, and finally to a handful of historical discussions. But who is a citizen at all? Citizenship is an identity situation that regulates one's relationship not only with other members of society, but also with institutions of power.

Citizenship has four basic elements; The first pillar is membership and belonging; That is, I am accepted as a part of a society and I belong to it. The second pillar is rights; When I become a member of a community, I get paid. The third pillar is the duties and responsibilities I have towards society; And the last pillar is participation. I am actively involved in promoting personal and group life, as well as promoting community values
