GLOBALIZATION ALSO CAPTURES IN ITS SCOPE THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHANGES THAT HAVE COME ABOUT AS A RESULT.  GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP IS ABOUT THE SHARED HUMAN EXPERIENCE. IT ACKNOWLEDGES AND CELEBRATES THAT, WHEREVER WE COME FROM AND WHEREVER WE LIVE, WE ARE HERE TOGETHER. OUR WELL-BEING AND SUCCESS ARE ULTIMATELY INTERDEPENDENT. WE HAVE MORE TO LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER THAN TO FEAR ABOUT OUR FUTURE.  GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP IS THE UMBRELLA TERM FOR SOCIAL, POLITICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND ECONOMIC ACTIONS OF GLOBALLY MINDED INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES ON A WORLDWIDE SCALE. THE TERM CAN REFER TO THE BELIEF THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE MEMBERS OF MULTIPLE, DIVERSE, LOCAL AND NON-LOCAL NETWORKS RATHER THAN SINGLE ACTORS AFFECTING ISOLATED SOCIETIES.  GLOBAL CITIZEN A GLOBAL CITIZEN IS SOMEONE WHO IS AWARE OF AND UNDERSTANDS THE WIDER WORLD – AND THEIR PLACE IN IT. THEY TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND WORK WITH OTHERS TO MAKE OUR PLANET MORE PEACEFUL, SUSTAINABLE AND FAIRER.  BENEFITS OF GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP BUILD THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING OF WORLD EVENTS.

DEVELOP AN ARGUMENT AND VOICE THEIR OPINIONS. SEE THAT THEY HAVE POWER TO ACT AND INFLUENCE THE WORLD AROUND THEM.  REFERENCES: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC (N.D.) GLOBALIZATION.
