My original definition of a well informed 21st century citizen was "A well informed 21st century citizen is not just someone who is technologically advanced but also well informed politically and understands how society is changing rapidly and can adapt to the changes." I still mostly agree with this statement very strongly. A well informed 21st century citizen has their own political opinions based off true facts and not whether they received a free "I Stand With Walker" t-shirt. They are also very adapting to all of the changes that happen, whether it be technology or laws. That is where I do not believe that my last definition went far enough, was with the laws. Knowing laws, your rights, and how your government works is such a huge part in the life that we live. Without knowing these you may accidentally self incriminate themselves, or allow an unjust search of their person or home. Even if they are not hiding anything or doing anything illegal, it is just the principal of the matter.In short, a well informed 21st century citizen is not just someone who is technologically advanced, but also well informed politically, about our government, and has a strong understanding of how society changes rapidly and is able to adapt quickly and my views on this basically stayed the same but, I had to add one key principal.
