Week 1: My definition of global citizenship

Before we learn what global citizenship is based on the readings and videos shared in the course, I would like to share what being a global citizen means to me.

For me, a global citizen is someone who considers themselves part of the global community instead of being from a particular country or nation.  Having lived in the Middle East where the population is made up of a people from many different countries, I believe that even though we can come from different cultures what brings us all together is the idea that we are all from one global community with shared values. I hope throughout the course my knowledge of global citizenship would be enriched via the course material and discussions.
