What Does A Global Citizen Mean, And Why Is It Important To Be one?


  A global citizen is someone who understands and is a part of the world community, they are more than willing to participate in world issues. They are willing to participate in multiple ways, such as economically, socially and politically. Being a global citizen is extremely important, because they understand the importance of the earth, and they are willing to do something to help the earth, and they value it so much. Also, they work very hard to keep our environment going for future generations, and they are very "green".  Global citizens raise the standard of living in all areas of the world. Global citizens play a huge role in our world. Example: Child labour! When a global citizen buys something that's fair trade, odds are children wouldn't have made it, and the adults that did get paid fairly. Global citizens pay attention to products they purchase, and make sure whatever they buy is going to benefit in more ways than one. Not to mention they are more aware of what's going on in the world, compared to someone who isn't a global citizen. If it wasn't for them, our earth would fall apart, and no one would truly care. Global citizens are definitely needed in our world, and we need more of them.
