Civic Sense

What is Civic Sense?

Civic Sense - The Sign to a Civilized World. It is the need of the day. Let us make a civilized world. Civic sense makes us human beings. If we are not civilized then what will be the difference between us and animals. Even animals are civilized and I would say they are good and some are best.

Choose a leader

As a group of people, we need to choose one person as a leader. Then follow him whether he is right or wrong. If he is wrong you can give him your opinion with all your knowledge. If he thinks you are right then he might accept it or reject it depends upon him. Some times the leader knows more than you do and under this situation, he is not able to share it with you for some reason. He might be looking from the top. He has a great vision for the plan. So if we follow him we will be civilized and will be one united group otherwise we will be a broken group unorganized and uncivilized. This civics we learn from education.

Good use of Education

Some time education takes us to become an arrogant landlord and in the long run, makes us warrior and we start fighting with weak to acquire them. Here at this moment, civic sense comes in. Why one person is greedy? Greediness is human nature. This is where patience strives. Education and learning make us human being. When we are good and polite everyone likes us. We always give ways to others and care for others. Caring comes from civics. We must learn to care for all that is elder and youngsters. We also have to be good to the animals as well.

Adopt a queue system

Another example of civics is making a queue at a public place. This not only looks good but it really saves time. I had a personal experience. It was such a nice example of civic sense when I was in London in 2003. I wanted to go from Wimbledon to Marble Arch by British rail. At that time I was all alone and went to the ticket machine it was a bit new for me. I started looking at the machine how to use it it took me some time. By somehow I just looked at my back and found there was such a long queue behind me and I got a bit panicked. I apologized. I asked a man at my back to please help me and he helped me in buying the ticket. This is called civics. All the people were watching that I was new and was juggling to get a ticket. No one made a fuss or shouted at me to be quick.

Amend yourself

Sometimes I wonder where are we moving. Is this civilization? I have seen many herds of animals when they are moving they move silently and move in a polite manner they have one leader and sometimes there is a trained dog which guides them where to go. Why can’t we do this? Whom we are impressing? How do we get out of this stupidity? I am sorry to get a bit harsh but these are my feelings. We have to finish our ego for the sake of others and for the sake of our nation. Just Think.
