Am I in “Civic” engagement?

During the class, we first learn about what is  “civic” and the several examples to become civic. We were able to be civic in many different things.  We become civically engaged through everyday life.     Personally, I did not notice that individual life includes in “civic” engagement but through deep consideration, I was able to understand that the actions we take were part of the society.  Simply think about your everyday life. For example, in many communities or cities have recycling bins that provide us to separate recyclables and get them recycled by putting them out at curbside when the city picks up RCL. Or remember the time when in your elementary school about the pledge of allegiance, the act by ritual repetition than by actual words. We repeat the acts from certain special celebration and take a nice break. You do not need to be engaged in “special” or activates, but ordinary life in yourself can explain you are one of the “civic” member.                                                                                                                    If you like to Facebook that can be part of civic engagement, watching news, reading newspaper or be part of the organization can be civic engagement. Beyond the morality and ethnicity, all human beings can be part of civic duty. People tend to think civic engagement as “large” movement such as political engagement or economical decision for a country. However, civic engagement can be “small” but also affect the society. How do we decide the president? We use voting to select the president from our hands. Every single person might see as a small civic engagement but our ordinary life can shape the country’s culture and society.  We live in the large organization called “Country” and we are accustomed to live in the society, influencing us to civic life.
