Importance of developing global citizenship Global citizenship has become something that you see in just about every country that you visit in today 's world. If you are in America, you will see Americans, Europeans, Muslims, etc. walking around. This has become the new normal. Even in other countries, if you visit, you will see people from all over the world there as well. We will be going over some benefits of being a global citizen, some disagreements between theorists about the definition of global citizenship, two outcomes of global citizenship, two personal examples that I have with

My definition of global citizenship would be individuals who accept culture diverseness and treat others how they wish to be treated at all times. No individual deserves to be treated differently because of where they are from or grew up. Tolerance, understanding, mutual respect, equality, and fairness should be taught among the human race and in global citizenship.
Two outcomes
Valuing Diversity Valuing diversity is a big issue that the world is having. When something bad happens from an individual who is Arabic, everyone tends to fear Arabic individuals after that, which is not the correct way to go. By valuing diversity, you are accepting the fact that every individual in this world will bring something to the table and should not be looked at differently because they are different than you. Just because of one individual who has the same religion as someone else, makes a mistake or does something bad, not every person from that area should be looked at as bad.
Social Justice Social justice is another big thing to think about. Social justice is the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a community or society. Everyone, no matter what color their skin, religion, gender, or sexual
You treat everyone the same way you want to be treated. plain and simple. What is citizenship? I ask myself. So I learned that citizenship is members of the state or nation coming together as one and making society work together.
Global Citizenship & Equity at Centennial College: Global citizenship refers to the social well- being of various communities and its main focus is to minimize inequity which means try to protect our surroundings and don’t harm others. Global citizens support equity at all levels local as well as globally. In equity we have to change different strategy not only changes the version of current strategy to ensure equity.
Citizenship is the legal status of an individual living within a particular country. Having citizenship gives people rights and responsibilities as well as a sense of belonging to a community. Citizenship can influence the lives of people as it gives people a sense of identity and how to live their life.
Citizenship is when a person is accepted as a member of a society due to customs or laws. Another way to think about citizenship is that one does not truly become a member of a society until said person has managed to learn and master the tools and trades that allow the society and its members to go on with their everyday lives.
Diversity can be differences in race, heritage, customs, belief systems, physical appearance, mental capabilities; etc Diversity should be respected and valued because nobody is completely the same as anyone else, even within the categories above. People tend to reject what is different. We must value our diversity in order to work together.
Diversity should be respected and valued, because nobody is completely the same as anyone else. It is everywhere in our lives which makes rich and varied. In our lives diversity can be defined as differences in heritage, race, beliefs, customs, mental capabilities, physical appearances etc. It should be valued because no one is completely the same as anyone else, even within the above categories. If diversity is not valued then it can lead to violence and hatred.
I think that “Great citizenship: society becomes how we behave”, is a variant upon the Gandhi’s saying, ”be the change that you want to see in the world.” This points out the every problem the society faces is everyone’s problem, the ideology of the people “that’s not my
In today’s world, it is very important for every person to demonstrate exceptional citizenship as it proves beneficial to the development of the world. In the video documentary, The Cove, Ric O’ Barry and his team of activists are protesting the dolphin slaughter occurring in Taiji, Japan. Their goal is to reduce the number of dolphins killed each year and hopefully stop the slaughter entirely. Mr. Barry and his team, are model global citizens as they abide by the law, are extremely informed about the cause they are protesting, and display purposeful and active citizens greatly through their work. Therefore, Ric O’ Barry and his team of activists are remarkable examples of global citizens based off of the four characteristics describing a good global citizen.
Social Justice: Justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
Citizenship is where you are nice to people, teamwork, and meeting new people. When you meet someone new you learn new things about that person. When I met mackenzie Johnson last year in soar class we had become friends. You can be in group and you need to use teamwork or others won’t like the way you act if you dont include them.
The impact on minorities due to inequality Introduction During the course of this class I have learned about social problems within the society in which we live and around the world. It is disturbing to learn that poverty, social inequality, race and cultural discrimination, gender stratification, environmental damage, population growth, and urbanization are among the social problems and controversial issues that still exist in the United States.
The concept “Value of Diversity” refers to, understanding each other and moving beyond religion and culture to appreciate the person’s principles and their presence in the society. Valuing diversity teaches respecting individuality while maintaining respect for others. It helps us to highlight the contributions of various groups in making up a community. As evident from the speech by Kofi Annan at Global Centre
Moreover, in what is seen, a global citizen is that of people putting aside religion and political views that cause so much controversy inn the world we live in. What should be recognized are morals and common views that everyone can somewhat seem to agree on. One example is the Gordon Rule- treat others as you would want to be treated. Now the most known example for that is to have respect towards one another. A global citizen indeed should acquire this and understand it fully. In addition, basic morals that seem right also come along in being an ideal global citizen, such as being against dehumanization. Taking away what basically makes you, you is something that is not agreed with the views of a global citizen.
To examine and explore what is global citizenship? This essay will look at the importance of becoming a global citizenship, the role we, as educators play in this development and how the curriculum frameworks and associated learning emphases for global education assist in the development of a global citizen.
The rapid advancement of society in recent years has greatly increased connectivity and communication capabilities across the globe, such as the development of the worldwide network known as the Internet. The increased connectedness between countries has also brought greater visibility to the substantial cultural differences around the world, from religious freedoms to accepted social behaviors. This global expansion has furthered the opportunity to promote the development of global citizenship, which Reysen and Katzarska-Miller (2013) defined as the embrace of cultural diversity through awareness, acceptance, and the promotion of social justice and responsibility. Global citizenship allows individuals from many cultural backgrounds to develop productive relationships by decreasing the tensions brought on by cultural differences, as well as promoting open sharing of contrasting views to develop better ideas as a group (Wang & Hoffman, 2016). Becoming a global citizen is essential to furthering societal development, improving cross-cultural communication, and promoting awareness and acceptance of different cultures.
