Citizenship
In our current day system anyone born on U.S. soil automatically becomes a citizen. In the Integral system the title of citizen brings with it many privileges. Citizenship is earned; only the productive person can earn the right of citizen. Simply being born in the country or sneaking across the border will no longer be all that is needed to reap the benefits of citizenship. Children of citizens will also enjoy the benefits of citizenship until they reach the adult age, then they must enter into the society as a contributor to the advancement of the nation. Non-citizens will live as second-class people who will no have access to the vast benefits of the Integral system but still may exist as free individuals, or if they prove unfit for living in a free society (due to criminal, or repeated serious undesirable behavior) will be put into the Recovery, Labor, or Prison systems.
In order to obtain and maintain citizenship certain requirements must be met. A person seeking to obtain citizenship must complete two years military service or civil service after completing high school. After service people will have the choice to start college, continue a career in the military, or join the work force.
Duty of the Citizen
The duty of a citizen of America is to be a productive, law-abiding member of society. Productivity is measured by the action of a person. Either by completing the schooling needed to advance oneself into positions of interest or maintaining a job. Each worker is highly valued and should put importance in their tasks. Each job is a cog in the wheel that is our nation, and should be looked upon as such. Every job is important and vital to our neighborhoods, communities, and nation.
Civil Service
Civil service will mostly consist of shovel ready, keeping the community clean, agricultural and landscaping jobs, in addition to filling positions in services offered by the community. Citizens wishing to start college immediately after completing high school will have the option of a 20-hour civil service workweek, instead of the normal 40-hour normal civil service workweek.
Benefits of Citizenship
There are many benefits to being a productive person and citizen. For citizens, the basics of life will no longer be a burden. Housing, public transport (including The People's Car) and food products will be sold to citizens at no more than five percent prophet than the cost of manufacturing and transport. If a society is to be willingly productive and active then the people cannot be burdened by debt for needed items such as a roof over their family's head, a car to go to work, and food to feed their families. Beyond the material benefits is the overwhelming benefit of living in a clean, decent, united, peaceful and progressive society.
