«How can we be better global citizens?»

    A citizen is basically a member of a group of people represented by an entity like a city, a state, a country, or the whole world.

     Who is a global citizen? Who can be called a global citizen? These questions have come to my mind for several times. It’s known that a citizen has certain rights conferred upon him by the group by virtue of being a member of the group. A citizen is a man who knows his rights and obligations and, most importantly, has a sense of public participation in matters large and small. This is a man who understands his civil duty that has civil responsibility and civil conscience. This high value of the concept of "citizen" came into the world culture. But not everyone can be called a global citizen.

    I’m quite sure that to be a global citizen doesn’t mean to get some identification among other people.

    In my opinion, to be a global citizen means to have a great vocation for being involved in different spheres of human lives and even being ready to sacrifice yourself as your country, its  citizens, the whole world need your help and support.

    Nowadays individuals are engaged in active citizenship. Do you know people who are ready to sacrifice their personal gains for the sake of the public interest?

    Being a global citizen means to be concerned, and to care about the world around you, and then act on the problems and become a part of the solution. The worst thing a person can do is to say: “I have no faith in my community. And I also don’t keep helping it to progress.”

    A global citizen is very interested in global problems, such as environmental devastation, wars, etc.
  The processes of globalization have been actively discussed by the scientific community in the late twentieth century. All social processes are assessed today, only considering the processes of globalization. The peculiarity of globalization is to strengthen the ties many different, sometimes contradictory phenomena.

    Some of the areas of globalization are ecology and natural disaster. Natural environmental disasters are activated by the development of the ecological crisis. Within the territory of Ukraine geological and tectonic conditions may contribute to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, dust storms, fires, heavy snow, heavy rains, droughts, shifts, etc. Shifts are very typical for the Black and Azov seas. Thermal storms and fires destroy steppes and forests. Heavy snow, heavy rains, high winds and droughts occur periodically throughout the country.
   Everyone knows that the development of natural disasters is activated by human activity. Now human beings are killing our planet. Many species of animals and birds are disappeared. Millions of animals die every year because a man has polluted their natural homes. Besides, every year people cut down more trees, build more roads, and use more land for farming. This leaves fewer fields and forests for wildlife.  

    It’s quite difficult to answer the question: "What should I do to become a citizen of the world?"  First of all we need to protect animals, as well as plants and forests. We should remember that we don’t just pollute the environment. We pollute ourselves while we are staying apart from these ecological problems. We must try to solve these problems. How can it be that a person should enjoy beautiful green spaces and clean waters but do nothing to preserve them?

    If you’re indifferent to what is happening around you, you’ll never be called a worthy citizen of the world.
