Global citizens are people who
have a global mindset,
understand the world at large,
and their all-important role in
it.
They are big citizens of
the small world who take care of it. They take an active role in
various global projects and work both individually and with others
to make our planet more harmonious, sustainable, and peaceful.
De Facto Global Citizens and De Jure Global Citizens
De facto describes practices that exist in reality whether or not
they are officially recognized by laws or other formal norms. De
facto global citizens are true global citizens. De jure citizens of
the world are all professional of the
United Nations system.
"It is no longer country vs.
country or city vs. city. Ideas,
instead of countries. Those who
have ideas that
gain traction will be able
to put up a
virtual flag and engage a
platform of participants that
transcend geography and
political affiliation.
Affinity in ideology is what
creates momentum in this new
space."
