Years ago I saw an engaging debate on CCTV-9 on "Global Me ...Vs... Local Me".
Last week I read this insightful article on Global Citizenship from an e-journal.
Below is a quote from that article.
"" Most of us on the path to global citizenship are still somewhere at the beginning of our journey. Our eyes have been opened and our consciousness raised. Instinctively, we feel a connection with others around the world yet we lack the adequate tools, resources, and support to act on our vision. Our ways of thinking and being are still colored by the trapping of old allegiances and ways of seeing things that no longer are as valid as they used to be. There is a longing to pull back the veil that keeps us from more clearly seeing the world as a whole and finding more sustainable ways of connecting with those who share our common humanity."" .... Ronald C. Israel. (Link)
In a world where we are being taught to greet a stranger with "Where are you from?", I wonder whether the very thought of ever becoming a "Global Me" is a mere utopia or not.
Your thoughts, please.
