Task 2 (P3, M1, D1) A good citizen in my opinion is a person who is helpful to all people in society, somebody who

has responsibility to bring the community together for special occasions or events, also somebody who helps to inform the police of disturbances to their neighbourhood. A good citizen can be anybody who does their bit for society, environment and other people who need assistance or other forms of help within their everyday lives. A difference can be make if everyone just picked up one bit of little and place it in a recycling bin to help the environment, a little goes a long way. Equality is a difficult concept for some people to grasp due to their personal beliefs however, the meaning of equality is people should be given equal opportunity to get involved in specific events or activities. Special efforts may be needed to allow the opportunity for minority groups such as, disabled or gender groups to take part in the events or activities organised, this way more people can benefit from taking part in the event. Being a good citizen and equality is important to be respected because we live in a diverse society where different cultures and races live together in a community, equality is important in civilian life because people will be offended and feel discriminated against by not being treated as equal as the next person in line. However when a good citizen gives all people in that community with equal opportunities, they can work together to make their community better for everybody and the general atmosphere amongst the community will head towards a positive outcome. For example, a ramp or disabled access to a community centre. When equality is disrespected events occur that damage a positive reputation of a community, events such like the riots of Bradford, on the evening of the 7th of July

2001 a group of people who felt they were disrespected for who they were, resulted to violence and damaged the community because they was not treated equally in society. The Police require good citizens to report any disturbances that may occur in the community, the police control crime within the community by policing by consent of the people, when the good citizens of a community contact the police of a crime that has been committed in that community. The police give equal rights and respect to those who wish to be a police officer, they must consider different cultures into the service because there are different cultures in every community all over the country. Other similar civilian voluntary organisations is the neighbourhood watch organisation, this is a group of people from a specific neighbourhood that work together with the police to protect their community from crime and other problems that may occur. Although this group must give equal opportunity and allow the people of different cultures who live in that neighbourhood, to get involved and express an opinion in the collective interest of keeping their neighbourhood safe. It is important to the police or any other public service to respect equality because; some people may need support from the Police and community due to an abnormality of a limb or what ethnic or European origin the person has generated from. These are issues that face the public services in the modern society but what needs to be understood is that we are all human; and no matter how we are all genetically different we are all the same and equality shows how differences are beneficial to the public services. For example, in the Royal Air Force; we have two applicants one is a man approx 5ft 8 and excellent eyesight and another man who is 6ft 10 but must wear glasses.

The differences between these two applicants can determine what trade they enrol into. The shorter man would be ideal to become a pilot due to having good eyesight, the taller man is too tall to be a pilot as it would be difficult to get into the cockpit, however I would suggest the taller man being a logistics officer or an aircraft engineer if he still wishes to be around the aircraft.
