04/24/2008 | Living a healthy life means being able to be productive and useful to the society. It is our responsibility and only ours. we cannot blame anyone or anything for not doing so.

05/09/2007 | I don't consider this a civic duty, but if you care about your family and/or yourself, it's a smart choice to make.

05/09/2007 | it would be a civic duty to my family and myself to be healthier. what others do are there own business. actually I could do better, with healthier foods, excercise. if I fail at this it is my own fault, no one elses. I have read, and saw programs that talk about healthier lives.so I could do better. it is not my civic duty to monitor other people.

05/08/2007 | Don't see this as a civic duty. Unless I'm so unhealthy that I become incapacitated and am living off welfare, I don't think the government gives a rat's ass if about my health.

08/24/2006 | Yeah actually leading healthy lifestyles is a public concern, especially when you're talking about health care costs that can be passed on to the rest of us. A system that emphasizes prevention over treatment is one that will likely lead to lower costs, not to mention healthier lifestyles with longer life expectancies and a better quality of life.
And besides that, you don't want to live in a place that has endemic disease and a host of other ills. Remember, some diseases can be passed on to other people after all, we don't live in a bubble! Indeed, when it really comes down to it, this is one of the most important aspects of community life.

08/24/2006 | Oh come on... I have a civic duty to eat bean sprouts and stay sober? Oh please! I have a civic duty to do a lot of things none of which are taking care of myself. I have moral obligations to my family- and debauchery is sinful to some degree- but slamming Big Macs down my face has little to do with my responsibilities to my fellow citizenry. As a matter of fact all these draconian drug laws that imprison "dealers" for life terms need to be reevaluated. What's the freaking goal here already? Now we have a lucrative underground cigarette trade and we're filling the jails with the cigarette runners. Why because Joe Camel Six Pack wants to smoke up and not pay two lungs plus an arm and leg to do so? Ridiculous. Individuals have to have the ability to make some bad choices not EVERYTHING is a moral imperative- surely not the the things that pertain solely to how I treat myself.

08/22/2006 | Really, it's a duty to one's self, and to your family to be healthy. A healthy man or woman can live a better overall life. You can do more with your family, you'll possibly live longer, and hopefully, you'll be happier. But I have a problem calling it a "Civic Duty". I dislike the idea of having to be healthy in order satisfy a "Civic Duty". It just doesn't feel right.

08/22/2006 | To some extent, people need to be able to live their lives as they see fit. However, I feel that people need to look after their own health and well being to some extent in order to protect society. Our country makes laws in most states prohibiting prostitution and drug use. Although there are moral issues involved in these laws, they also serve a purpose to decrease disease and other costly tragedies. I do think that people have the right to eat, drink, and smoke what they like, but they also have an obligation to maintain a certain level of health. Abortions, STDs, obesity, alcoholism, and drug abuse all cost our society a lot of problems financially and emotionally. It is a duty of citizens to take reasonable care of themselves to prevent further harm to our society.
