Kimberly Pacheco Ms. Shelton Enc 1101 16 February 2012 What is a Global Citizen? The concept of what defines a global citizen varies, for people have their own opinions and say about how they see an ideal one as. Kwame Appiah wrote Cosmopoltianism, and in his opinion, a global citizen is seen as one who sees no division within themselves and “others”; that it is necessary to agree with one another to behave morally. The view of an ideal global citizen has been altered for centuries, and in every culture it is uniquely seen and educated differently. Many Americans may agree when asked, “what is an ideal global citizen”, their responses would be, following the laws, paying taxes, helping out around the community, having a job or American soldiers, for instance show strong patriotism to our country because they are willing to kill others that are either a threat to us or stand in our way. The same goes with the group we are fighting with on the other side of the world. They have so much pride for their country and are fighting for it on a daily basis. No matter what the outcome maybe turn out to be, it’s the fact that they’re showing devotion to where they were born and grew up. A global citizen is yet far from that, on top of that, the image of world peace is number one. World peace is something that a global citizen would promote. People being free, respectful to each other, and as well as helping one another to have a better future and life for everyone living on Earth. One must understand what hurts the earth such as war, pollution, natural disasters, and/or ignorance of one another. An ideal global citizen to me is one that is eco friendly and as well caring for everything around or on Earth besides humans, such as animals. From using recycled bags to put your groceries in, to buying hybrid cars, which ever it may be, an ideal global citizen will do such things to better earth itself. When it comes to animals, yes, we don’t necessarily have to all become vegetarians, but possibly the way of handling animals in a slaughterhouse is one to be thought of. Being cruel and inhumane to
Are you a global citizen? Yasi Dehdashty 09/15/2014 A person who claims to be a global citizen is someone who identifies themselves as a member of the “global community” rather than a citizen of one nation/ place. Global citizens believe that a person’s identity can transcend geographical or political borders. A global citizen does not renounce their identity with their nationality or home community, but they give precedence to their role in the global community. I believe that coming from…

Lion and the Cat Third world debt is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary of Business as, “money that is owed to rich countries by the poorer countries of the world” (Cambridge Dictionaries Online). This vague interpretation of the term leads citizens of the first world (developed countries) into a labyrinth of ambiguity and delusion.

representation of Former Vice President Al Gore’s thoughts on global warming; he sees an event and says that it was caused by global warming when it clearly was not. Gore filmed a documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, in 2006 about the dangers of global warming. Just like the Party, he tries to convince people to believe in his assertions. His documentary contains a great deal of facts that are misconstrued. In 1984, the Party propagandizes its citizens to become orthodox in terms of the Party. Events such…

others in a significant way. This character cares about the treatment of himself and others and because of his actions, he was able to die a free man. All of these attributes demonstrated in the movie, are why I think Piet reflects the ideals of a ‘Global Citizen’. The movie “The Power of One” demonstrates a lot of racial segregation in South Africa between the years of 1953 and 1994. Though out the movie PK (the main character) and Doc are forced to live in a prison containing several innocent black people…
distress as we now experience. Resent changes in the earth’s climate have given way to the theory of global warming threating the world with social unrest and environmental disasters. As whole countries, cultures, races and governments fall victim to this global epidemic, we can understand how these different groups deal with, view and understand global warming as it pertains to sociology. Global warming has just recently come to the attention of our government as it poses a threat to our national…
