The development of modern morality is a process closely
linked to the social and cultural development of the various
populations and humanity. Some evolutionary biologists,
especially the socio-biologists believe that morality is the
product of an evolutionary work on individual level as well
as at the group level by selecting a group to discuss a
controversial topic in the theory of evolution. Some of them
affirm that the theory of evolution is the result of the human
behavior development and a large evolving ethics that
offered the benefits of increased evolutionary success.
Consequently human feelings evolved from the “ Pro-social
"" such as feelings of empathy or guilt that respond ethical
behavior. However biologists stated that the morality of
human beings arise from the "Altruistic instincts".

7.
(Cohen, 1999 ؛Kymlicka Norman, 2000 ؛Carens,
2000)
According to civil, political and social rights:
Citizen has the right to freedom & to act according
to the law and to claim legal protection;
The right to social and political participation;
The right to be a member of the political
community which aims to deliver an excellent
source of identity
3- Methodology/ Concept of citizenship in
three key elements
8.
Citizenship responsibility
Citizenship refers to the fact that the citizen should be member of
his/her community and participate to community activities that
aims to create a better environment , happiness and harmonious
society. As democracies, citizenship relies on the dissemination of
awareness among citizens about their rights and responsibilities as
citizens to express their opinions about their needs to social
participation and its impact on local communities and citizenship .
Who are the righteous citizens ? The ones who have the knowledge
and understanding about: the laws and rules of voting for the role
of government offices and the impact on the diversity of human
rights and the media, cultural, finances, the economy, the
environment and the concepts of sustainable development, such
as: democracy, justice, equality, fairness , freedom , the power and
the rule of law.
4- Social Integration
9.
Dimensions of citizenship
It can be said that citizenship contributes to social integration and the
relation between the three dimensions that define the rights of citizens
through the available political activities while the concept of
citizenship is seen as a source of identity through the promotion of self-
esteem (Rawls / in 1972.544).
Relations between the three dimensions are complex:
the rights a citizen enjoys will partly define the range of available
political activities while explaining how citizenship can be a source of
identity by strengthening her sense of self-respect (Rawls 1972, 544). A
strong civic identity can itself motivate citizens to participate actively
in their
society's political life. That distinct groups within a state do not share
the same sense of identity towards „their‟ political community (or
communities) can be a reason to argue in favor of a differentiated
allocation of rights (Carens 2000, 168–173).
10.
Citizenship allow community leaders to contribute to
nation-building and national duty. Consequently
psychological dimension submit people with
appropriate profile. It will not affect the collective
identity in the political community power.
If citizens have a strong sense of political affiliation, it
will enhance social cohesion and social integration as
an important goal or problem to achieve citizenship
11.
Active Citizenship
Active citizenship refers to organizations and their philosophy to
participate to social responsibility and in the building of their
nation-states, despite the fact that these figures may not have
specific roles in the government. They can be seen as active
citizenship rights versus responsibilities. If companies give rights
of the people in its jurisdiction, it means that they assume certain
responsibilities. This will be the most pronounced in any country,
or the level of the nation-state, but it can also be broader, such as
global citizenship. This means that effective citizen may obtain the
rights and responsibilities in a balanced way. The responsibilities
of active citizenship is in fact more complicated than writing a list
of rights despite the fact that the vote may be considered as
fundamental responsibility , there are some people who are not
able to fully participate in the voting process.
12.
An active citizen is a person who takes part in the
community. In other part volunteerism work has been
identified by writers like Jonathan Tisch, who wrote in
the Huffington Post in 2010 calling for Americans to
provide assistance to others, particularly through the
provision of professional experience in areas such as
banking, education, engineering, and technology to
help the less fortunate people. The active citizenship
includes volunteering, donating, and recycling.
13.
since 1970 feminist theory has been criticized in models
of the Republic and liberal in the private and public
spheres. Feminist criticism has led to the development
of alternative conceptions of politics and citizenship. In
the classic formulation, the Republican concept of
political public sphere is seen as a world of freedom
and equality & has considered that the citizens male
and female have the equal freedom to engage in civil
society for the benefit of the public service, and to
decide what is fair or unfair, harmful or helpful
(Aristotle,1253a11)

According to philosophy, religion, human rights, medicine,
and law, the term dignity is used in the moral, ethical, legal
and political debates and show that humans have the innate
right to live and enjoy all the fundamental rights. The ethics
are an extension of the underlying concepts of rights to
protect people from abuse and harm. For example dignity is

peoples, to the cultures, the religious beliefs and to the
Supreme examples and animals used for food or plants. Also

20.
Theory of Ethics
Morality can be divided in to four main areas:
1-Meta-Ethics
Is the theory of moral values that determine the truth
2-Normative Ethics
Is a practical theory that determines the moral action. However realistic ethics
arises moral theory for the commitment of the people and very specific actions
for specific situations, such as in work and business

ethics that seeks to resolve problems and to deal with human beliefs like the
concepts of good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime
issues. It is the philosophy of public problems, such as those associated with
reality, presence, knowledge ,values, reason, mind, and language.
21.
It is a philosophy that address the problems on basis of
rational. However the philosophy of "can refer to"
organized religion as a set of beliefs and cultural
systems that are related to humanity, many religions,
stories, symbols, and sacred history which aims to

In other part, human beliefs originate their ethics
according to religious laws and a pattern preferred life.

Morality and ethics
Morals (also known as moral philosophy) is the branch of
philosophy that addresses questions about morality. And "is

sometimes used in the ethical principles
And "the word morality" include certain types of ethical
theories such as deontology, descriptive and normative that
Indicates the meaning of "morality" to personal and cultural
values, codes of conduct or social customs. However the
standard refers to the "morality" on everything that is
actually right or wrong, and that may be independent of the
values or norms held by the people or the specific cultures.
24.
Realism and Anti-realism
Philosophical theories about the nature and origins of
morality (and this is the meta-theories of ethics) and is
divided into two categories:
Moral realism and Ethical realism
Are theories that show a moral report based on
objective facts that recognize social conformity in
shaping individuals' decisions, and remember that
those cultural norms and customs define a moral right
behavior.

Moral anti-reality

provide objective moral truths. Instead, we see that
moral judgments are false allegations beyond the moral
truths objectivity (error theory) both claim attitudes
about personal rather than objective facts (Self moral
and ethical self), or else no attempts to describe the
world at all, but something else , such as the expression
of feelings, issuing orders (far from the cognitive
school).

Declarations and conventions

variety of writings as a reason for making peace and
promoting human rights.

They are endowed with reason and conscience and should
act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth
in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as
race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other national
