During this semester we have learned about the topic of "global citizenship". A broad topic with no exact definition associated with it. In and out of class we were asked to read a series of articles and book excerpts to help us formulate a definition of exactly what the term global citizenship means to us. So what exactly is global citizenship? Global citizenship is not simply defined as one thing; is a wide range of various definitions. The basis of this is that global citizenship is being a responsible and active member of the global community. For me a global citizen is a citizen of the world. While global citizenship means being a citizen of the world, it takes more than simply caring about global issues. Global citizenship means being aware, caring and acting on global issues. We cannot consider ourselves global citizens if we do not take responsible actions and try to make a difference. Being a global citizen means understanding what global citizenship is, taking action and making a difference, and being able to communicate responsibly. Global citizenship is more than simply caring about the world and the people around it. We must be able to understand that a decision affects people all over the world. In addition to understanding, we must be able to communicate and take action against things. To be a global citizen we must understand the problem and act for change, worrying about it is not enough. A citizen usually refers to a resident of some place; often your identity is tied to a particular place. Usually, one's identity is tied to a certain city, state or country and perhaps also refers to the rights one has in that area, to make them a citizen. Global suggests something... half the paper... send. Global citizenship is made up of more than one term, more than one action and more than one definition. Not everyone you ask will have the same answer to the question “what is global citizenship?” but no matter how you define it, it all comes back to the same idea. Global citizenship is the idea of ​​being part of a global community. You don't have to travel the world or change the world overnight, you just have to care and take a stand. Global citizenship means understanding that everything is connected, we are all connected. Global citizenship is more than caring for the world; global citizenship is being part of the world. To be global citizens we cannot limit our cares and concerns to just our nation, we must make decisions that will benefit the global community as a whole. Global citizenship is citizenship of the world.
