Global Citizen: Explanation and Importance

What is a global citizen? Is it someone who works to make the world better? Or is it someone on a lower status that works as an activist to make their own community better for the environment (which could still impact globally)? A global citizen shows prominent actions to make their community more habitable, preferable, and suitable for their fellow citizens- whether it be on a local, or global scale. The importance of being a global citizen is huge! We have to maintain our globalized world in order to raise the standard of living as a global community. Take our poverty issue for example; the countries that suffer severe poverty would not be able to move forward without the help of global citizens. People and organizations that help out these developing countries and communities are all example of global citizens. It is very important for our world to have global citizens as it helps keep our world globalized, and helps to ensure the development of our world will move at a steady rate.
