Making your participation more impactful: global citizenship and social mobilization
(Option 2)

CRITICAL QUESTIONS

1. How do you define citizenship?


a. A citizen is a person who lives in a country, I am a Filipino citizen because I live
in the Philippines. That’s what citizenship means, in the most literal sense. But after
watching Hugh Evans’ TEDTalk, the word can mean so much more. Being a citizen
is a simple concept, but being a global citizen means that we connect to other people
around the globe as if they’re our neighbors. Their problems are our problems and
vice versa. In order for change to happen, we must collectively put our efforts
towards the problems that we need to solve.
2. What does globalization have to do with the rise of the global citizenship concept?
a. Globalization is the inevitable end whenever you grow a brand, a product, or even
a concept. Ideals, beliefs, and culture will influence other international cultures and
thus bringing globalization. Globalization goes hand-in-hand with the global
citizenship concept because; if we want to bring global development, globalization
is bound to follow suit in the form of introducing foreign concepts to communities.
These concepts might not help said communities even if they have similar
problems, as the causes of said problems might be different. Even so, it wouldn’t
hurt to test out these concepts.
3. Are we abandoning our national citizenship when we become global citizens? Why or why
not?
a. No, we are not abandoning our national citizenship. Being a global citizen means
that we, as a collective, concern ourselves with problems that not only affects our
communities, but also affect foreign ones. Its about tackling problems as a
worldwide community, and not just one country taking care of its own problems.
Patriotism for our own nation is also affected as we try to solve our nation’s
concerns, it just so happens that we want other countries to get swept by the
solutions that we create.
