Consciousness of citizenship is self-awareness that combines thesense of responsibility of the national master, the sense of mission and the view of therights and obligations.

Strengthening the cultivation and development ofChina’s Consciousnesses of citizenship is the urgent requirement of promoting China’ssocialist market economy and the development of democratic political. It is theimportant content to raise citizen’s morality construction, and also adapt to theinternational requirements of social development.
