This study aims to analyze the role of internalizing civic education values in developing awareness of citizens' rights and responsibilities among the younger generation, as well as to identify the factors and strategies that support civic awareness. This study employs a qualitative approach using library research by reviewing relevant academic literature, including journal articles, academic books, and official documents. Data were collected through document analysis and examined using content analysis by identifying, comparing, and synthesizing findings from previous studies. The findings indicate that civic education plays an important role in developing young people's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior through the internalization of democratic values, justice, tolerance, discipline, and social responsibility. This process is influenced by teaching approaches, educators' role models, social environments, and digital technology developments. The study concludes that strengthening civic education through contextual, participatory, and experience-based learning is essential to promoting balanced awareness of rights and responsibilities. These approaches can contribute to developing a younger generation that respects others' rights, fulfills civic responsibilities, and actively participates in society and national life.
