Henry David Thoreau was an American Philosopher and essayist that advocated for principles like self-reliance, and individuality. To be a good citizen means being interested in the affairs of one's nation and participating actively to bring about solutions.

It is not the same as being a good man. A good citizen might be living a bad life secretly, but still obey the laws of his land and seek the good of his own society.

Aristotle explained that being a good citizen is not the same thing as being a good man. A good man manifest goodness in every aspect of his life.

A good citizen, however, only does what is best for his society. He might be committing crimes in other societies or living a morally bad life.

In my personal experience, a popular celebrity in my country was committing crimes in other nations but paying taxes and running legitimate businesses in my country.

Thus, he was a good citizen but not a good man.

Answer and Explanation:

Being a good citizen is the individual who complies with his or her duties, who is responsible for his community and who demands that governments fulfill their duties and be fair to society. In short, a good citizen is one who is aware of his civic obligations and works to ensure that they are long and promote the general well-being and compliance with political and governmental precepts. This is not the same as being a good person, since being a good citizen is linked to civil and legal responsibilities, while being a good person is linked to kindness and the fulfillment of society's ethical and moral concepts.
