Civic thinking is fundamental in a democracy because people must respect a set of laws and norms of social coexistence. It is a way of shaping the conduct of citizens who live in the same democratic space so that social interaction is guided by respect and ethics. In a democracy, everyone must respect the freedom of choice and expression of others, especially when it comes to different societies, where the tastes and opinions are the most varied. Civic thinking lays the foundation for people to live together in a civilized manner in a plural and democratic society.
