Citizenship: 7th International Don Quichotte Cartoon Contest 2013

Citizen, a person that has certain rights, freedoms and obligations that is determined by the constitution of the state, a person who has a citizenship status. Citizenship in its most basic terms, citizenship represents a legal status which entitles a person to the state he/she was born and raised or lived for a certain amount of time. However, citizens usually share something more than just by being born and raised or living in a piece of land. Such as religion, language, ethnicity, tradition, history, etc.
In political science, "citizenship" has a deeper meaning which refers to the equality in fundamental rights and freedoms among all citizens but when we take a glance at countries which has a significant amount of immigrant populations, we can witness examples of the poor application or even offense of these fundamental right and freedoms.
