Cidadania

Abstract

The profound changes of the world demand a widening of the concept of citizenship produced by the rise of the bourgeoisie, that had its acme during the French Revolution. Defined basi­cally by the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen, of 1789, reite­rated in 1948 by the UN, citizenship cannot dismiss the social and ethical duties that we all, have in view of a true just society, one that rescue the human being within the citizen.
