Kaip verčiat žodį "pilietiškumas"? (lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilietiškumas)
Nei "Public spirit", nei juo labiau "Citizenship" neperteikia šito žodžio reikšmės, o visokiuose projektiniuose tekstuose jis dažnai pasitaiko. Gal turite kokį tikresnį variantą? Ačū!

Man patinka šie variantai - nuo nuotaikos priklauso, kurį pasirenku :)

Civic virtue is the cultivation of habits of personal living that are claimed to be important for the success of the community. Closely linked to the concept of citizenship, civic virtue is often conceived as the dedication of citizens to the common welfare of their community even at the cost of their individual interests.

'Boston Latin School represents the best of us, as Americans, as human beings. It represents the civic spirit in all its forms; it symbolizes a citizenry of high intellect and deep compassion. In an age when government’s basic ability to do the good and necessary things for society is relentlessly questioned, it is needed now more than ever.'
