What's a global citizen you may ask?Basically, a global citizen is someone who has an understanding of how the world works culturally, politically, socially, economically, and environmentally. Also, it's someone who is more than willing to participates in, and contributes to the community not only local, but global too. They raise that standards of living everywhere. Global citizens act to make the world a more sustainable place and takes responsibility for their actions. They respect and value diversity.
In my opinion, a global citizen is an extremely important person, who has the ability to address global issues that may involve countless countries, along with solutions to solve them. A global citizen can help limit down the chance of child labour. How? Well, they can purchase fair trade products, which would cut back the chance for child labour to happen. Therefore, global citizens are cautions about the products they're buy, by making sure that they will benefit them multiple times. A global citizen can help encourage equality in countries around the world; not just the one we live in. It is an outlook on life, an understanding that we can make a difference.
Wow Taylar, I had no idea how big of a part a global citizen plays in the world. You're right, being a global citizen is important and your explanation truly shows it !
ReplyDeleteReally great points Caeleigh! Being a global citizen is something that, in my opinion, should not be as rare as it is today. I also think that being a global citizen should be talked about more. Your point of not knowing how important global citizens are is evidence that people and society need to be better educated.
DeleteI have to agree with Caeleigh who knew how important it is to our world to be a global citizen! Great job you explained it really well!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Taylar. Especially on the comment you made about the importance of being a global citizen- without them, some countries could become very poor, damaged and achieve an overall unhealthy standard of living. Although, I did not know how many aspects there were to a global citizen (cultural, political, social, economical, and environmental). Very well written Taylar. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Mikaela about Taylar's comment on the importance of being a global citizen and all the things that could could go wrong without them. Also I never thought or considered how important they are and how they effect all of us.
