Fourthly, as a result of, especially, both the first and third meanings, today we often use ‘citizenship’ to signify not just member- ship in some group but certain standards of proper conduct. Some people – those who contribute to the well-being of their political community, church, lunch club, or other human association, and do so frequently, valuably, at some cost to themselves – are understood to be the ‘true’ citizens of those bodies. Others who free-ride on their efforts are mere members who do not seem to under- stand, embrace, or embody what citizenship really means.
