Participating in Global Ccommunity

Understanding Global Citizens
 Global citizenship cannot be expressed
in any legal sense.

 it is expressed in other ways that may

have a significant and profound impact on
the development of civics
engagement and citizen-state relations.

 Any rights and obligations accorded to

the global citizen come from the citizens
themselves, growing public favor for
“universal righ,” the rise of people
migrating around the world, and an
increasing tendency to standardize
citizenship
The concept of global citizens

• William Hitt, in a book entitled The

Global Citizen;

• The global citizen has a sense of oneness

with the human family,....Most of the life-
and-death problems facing humanity are
global problems, and these critical
problems will never be resolved by
individual nation-states working
independently. The only way that
humanity can cope......is through building
a global community. .....The issue is one
of identity
