Global Citizenship and the Rights of women Global Citizen A “Global citizen is someone who identifies with being part of an emerging world community and whose actions contribute to building this community’s values and practices.” (Kosmosjournal.org, 2016). Global citizens are all of us who identify with taking action against world issues. Global Citizenship (cosmopolitism) looks at us as needing to be patriotic to our nation-state, but also needing to put humanity and the greater good globally first
Citizenship is a concept that is composed of three parts. The first part, described by Jean L Cohen, states that citizenship assumes the citizen ‘a juridical status of legal personhood’ (Cohen, 1999). Each individual is granted a legal status within the country to which they claim citizenship, granting them the political and social rights that the nation state holds. They are obliged to follow the laws set out within that state and therefore they obtain the right to claim the law’s protection. Secondly
The high presence of immigrants in ‘vulnerable’ labor markets make the pathways for migration and citizenship critical in accessing agency. The legality of labor for immigrants affects the vulnerability of immigrants. The ‘under the table’ nature of many economic opportunities presented to immigrant populations changes the stability of accumulating capital or creating economic mobility. The ‘off the books’ nature changes the agency to immigrants to gain their wages, protest exploitation and to attain
When I think of America I think of freedom and citizenship. The right to vote or the right of free speech are aspects that, as citizens, we posses. Being born in America automatically gives you these rights and many more, and most importantly, you become a citizen. Now, with citizenship comes responsibility such as obeying the law and paying taxes. So if you follow these simple rules does this make you an effective citizen? This question, in my opinion, is almost impossible to answer for a number

As an immigrant to the United States from El Salvador, I was really inclined to attend Robert Koulish’s talk titled “Citizenship and the Right to Public Education for Undocumented Immigrants.” I came to the US when I was six years old in 2000, it has been 16 years since I have been here. I remember very little from my birth country and most of my memories have been made in the United States. The community that raised and helped to sculpt my values is not in El Salvador, rather it is in Maryland,
people since the era of exploration. Americans have notoriously fallen victim to this. Since the first British Colonist sailed over in the year 1585, there has been a tradition set to fear the foreign.

The Health Care System as A Lucrative Business versus A Right of Citizenship Summary Many people contest to the statement that America's health care system is the "best in the world" (The Basic Dilemma). The ones that agree wholeheartedly with this quote are those who are on the outside looking in. Surely they are ignorant of the statistical data proving that the land of the free is plagued with the horrible "disease" of insufficient medical coverage. This issue has always been a problem ever
