global citizens
Borderless identity holders
Global citizens are people who identify with humanity as a whole rather than primarily with a particular nation or culture.
The term suggests awareness of and engagement with worldwide issues—climate change, human rights, economic inequality—and a sense of responsibility extending beyond national borders.
As global citizens, we need to consider how our choices affect people everywhere.
The concept is aspirational and sometimes criticized as vague or as a luxury of the privileged.
