PROMOTING GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

A GLOBAL CITIZEN

A Global Citizen is someone who: is aware of the wider world and has a sense of their own role as a world citizen, respects and values diversity. Every problem in the world, every global conflict whether it takes place hundreds of thousands of miles away, or right next door, is a global one. It’ll take a global effort with global citizens to stop them. We have a duty to protect each other as humans. It is time that we worked on improving the present, before many more people have to suffer. We are all citizens of this earth, and all share three common goals: liberty, equality and the pursuit of happiness. These goals can bring together people from all over the world, which is why it’s important to be a Global Citizen. People don’t need to actually travel outside their own country to be Global Citizens; they can do it simply by having a human conscience, and learn about the world from a global perspective as opposed to a single one. Through this, global peace can be reached because if everyone thrives and helps each other in their life journey for these three common goals than half of the world would not be inflicted by greed, war, conflict and poverty. In the pursuit of improving the world, being a Global Citizen and being the change we want to see in the world will make more of an impact than anything else. We, as citizens of the world will create a global consciousness for what is right, and what is wrong. And in terms of what is right, human rights will always prevail. Humanity first, before anything else. This is the priority for people around the world, and this is the goal and importance of being a Global Citizen.
