A lot of foreign countries function in a smooth manner because of the strong civic sense amongst its people.
With the exception of a couple of lessons in school, not a lot of attention is given to civic behaviour. Schools and homes do not teach their children about the importance of civic sense and how it could make a difference to the quality of their lives as well as the society.
