Characteristics of a good citizen

What are the characteristics of a good citizen?

          For me, a good citizen is a person who cares about his city and the people who lives in it. One characteristic that this person has to have in order to be called a good citizen, is respect. A person who understand that his rights end when the other people's right begins, would probably be careful of the acts that he does. These acts must not bother other citizens, instead, they should be a good thing to repeat for others because they show the level of education that the person has. For example, throwing the garbage in baskets and not in the street, teaches you that person probably has been educated to mantain clean the city because he cares about it and may suggest you to repeat it. Another characteristic is the concerning of the development of the city, by doing things that help the society to grow and encouraging other people to work together without necessary looking for personal objectives. For example, those doctos who offer free surgeries for poor people or the students who clean squares and repair the old broken games for children.I think these acts really represent a good citizen.
