Defining global citizenship...
A global citizen in the 21st century is mindful of other cultures. They incorporate the successful ideals of other societies into their own. They help advance their communities. A global citizen feels responsibility to improve their surroundings by instilling change. They resolve conflicts and consistently have others in mind. A global citizen feeds off knowledge and change. Margaret Mead would agree with this because of her studies in anthropology. "Never doubt that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have." Mead would believe that if everyone felt responsibly, if everyone cared, then we could discover something great. Also, Pablo Picasso would agree with this definition because he believed in change. He was a leader in cubism, a field of art where many perspectives are represented from one angle. This relates to feeding off change. Finally Winston Churchill would agree with the definition because he believes in stopping all evil, and appreciating all societies. This is evident in his experiences with World War 2.
A global citizen uses technology as a tool, and occasionally for entertainment. They notice pressing challenges using their knowledge of technology and recourses. They then attempt to fix these problems by either reporting them to the proper authorities, or figuring out how to fix them themselves. Global citizens are aware of their limits and try their hardest to exceed them. A good global citizen uses technology to resolve setbacks. Thomas Edison created thousands of tools that people used for communication, convenience, and entertainment. He created the telegraph, the phonograph, and the lightbulb. Using technology for entertainment, while also using it to do work that was previously unthinkable without it. Edison would agree with our definition. Fusajiro Yamauchi would also agree because he made technology as entertainment. He founded Nintendo, and he created the many video games. He thought that technology should be used both as a tool and a toy. That is what global citizenship is.
