cosmopolitanism
Borderless human community
Cosmopolitanism is the idea that all human beings belong to a single global community, regardless of national or cultural boundaries.
The cosmopolitan feels at home anywhere in the world and values exposure to diverse peoples and customs.
The term can describe a philosophical stance, a lifestyle, or an urban sensibility: Her cosmopolitanism showed in everything from her reading habits to her dinner parties.
Critics sometimes use it pejoratively to suggest rootlessness or disloyalty to one's own nation.
