Unit 4 Week 4 Response

This week I learned a lot about global citizenship. I learned what global citizenship means, who a global citizen is, and what a global citizen does.



There are many definitions for global citizenship. A global citizen can be described as...
1. Someone who acts or thinks like a global citizen
2. Someone who is aware of a wider world
3. Someone who respects and values diversity
4. Someone who is willing to act to help others
5. Someone who is responsible for their own actions

In order to understand and accept global citizenship, you must recognize and welcome an identity that includes nationality, race, gender, family, and job.

Global citizens are known to take responsibility for making globalization work for the benefits of as many people as possible, in as many situations as possible. They work together to respond to events occurring all over the world. They act and think globally, and see beyond the immediate.

This leads me to think about MY role in our globalizing world. To what extent should I respond to globalization? Should I respond as an individual? As a member of my country? As a global citizen? Should I respond to globalization on all these levels?
