Abstract

The Word “citizenship” has lost strength today. In this word is implicit the idea or territory and responsibility toward the others. According to Aristotle, citizenship is the one who is able to rule and to be ruled. The modern individualism is forcing us to re think democracy. We have to remember what Pericles said: if you want to be free, must work.
