It really varies from nation to nation as a construct. However, if we are discuessing what makes a good citizen then I think some sense of civil duty/service should be there. The important thing isn't what you do so long as you feel a sense of responsibility to your fellow man and neighbor and want good for them. The broader the concept of neighbor the better, if you ask me.
