Abstract

Cultivating citizenship, particularly its moral foundations, is a key
aspect of educational development. However, Taiwan, which is intertwined
with the global context, has always faced three major challenges in this

area: (1) Old and new ideologies restricted and distorted moral meanings.
(2) Social and intergenerational injustices undermined moral principles. (3)
Digital network and emerging issues are challenging moral standards. This
article proposes several modern citizenship theories to meet the needs of

democratic society, and to respond to the above-mentioned challenges. The
essential requirements of cultivating citizenship are as followed. Firstly,
emphasizing critical thinking and moral reflection. Secondly, initiating social
justice and multicultural recognition. Thirdly, rebuilding caring relationships

and sustainable development. In addition, this article evaluates citizenship
and social education practices in Taiwan, aiming at constructing new moral
foundations of cultivating citizenship and a more mature civil society.

Keywords: citizenship, critical thinking, morality, social justice, sustainable
development
