Living with Controversy: Teaching Controversial Issues through Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights (EDC/HRE); Training Pack for Teachers Year of publication: 2015 Corporate author: Council of Europe Learning how to engage in dialogue with people whose values are different from one’s own and to respect them is central to the democratic process and essential for the protection and strengthening of democracy and fostering a culture of human rights. Yet in Europe young people do not often have an opportunity to discuss controversial issues in school because they are seen as too challenging to teach, e.g., issues to do with extremism, gender violence, child abuse, or sexual orientation. Unable to voice their concerns, unaware of how others feel or left to rely on friends and social media for their information, young people can be frustrated or confused about some of the major issues which affect their communities and European society today. In the absence of help from school, they might have no reliable means of dealing with these issues constructively and no one to guide them. The idea for this Pack came out of a call from policy-makers and practitioners in a number of European countries for more effective training for teachers in the teaching of controversial issues.

The power of the state is not only measured by its Military capabilities but mainly by its ability to implement public policies that provide essential services to the citizens, and its capacity to distribute roles within civil society, there by increasing participation and achieving the requirements of political and social citizenship, which is questioned as well, with the emergence of the idea of a global citizenship. 
The Concept of Religion and Citizenship in Modern Country (Yatfakroon Season 3 Episode 22) Year of publication: 2019 Corporate author: Alghad TV The emergence of Islam took a qualitative leap in political life in the Arabian Peninsula, as the new religion succeeded in dismantling tribal structures and changing class concepts based on narrow affiliations in favor of the concept of the homeland, which equates everyone in rights and duties. This was clearly demonstrated in the Medina document that organized the relationship between Muslims, Jews and others, as they are all a nation without the people, and in spite of this, some still call for non-Muslims to be considered second-class citizens, with no jurisdiction or equality with them in Muslim countries. This contradicts the foundations on which the modern nation state was established, considering Religion is for God and the homeland for all! The same question arises: Can the concept of the state be based on religious considerations that exclude the other and ignore his existence?
