Ancillary #2

I do not identify with either term. Rather, I most feel like individual of my home-state. I hesitate to use the term “home-state”. I am from Hawaii; a kingdom whose statehood status the United States exacted illegally.

Conflict Between National and Global Identities

I see myself as more of a global citizen rather than a national citizen, however this isn’t a constant feeling. In my mind, a national citizen is someone who thinks about their actions and the wellbeing of the nation, while a global citizen might…

Global Citizen

Do I see myself as a global citizen or do I identify nationally? Growing up as a Moroccan-American in the United States this has always been an internal conflict that I’ve dealt with — battling which nationality I should choose to identify with or rather should I see myself as part of a larger globe…

Me as a global citizen

Global citizen is the term which I identify myself with. I do admit that being both a global citizen and local citizen are important for the development of the humanities for the world. But, starting the day I knew there were many countries on this planet, I became a global citizen. I am…

If We Help Others, Who Will Help Us?

I am leaning towards having a national identity because it is important that we ensure our necessities before being concerned about the well-being of others. Imagine yourself in a plane about to crash, you see the oxygen masks falling down from the ceiling. You…

On global identity and the internet

I view myself as a global citizen. My lifestyle and mindset are certainly influenced predominantly by American midwestern culture, though I always strive to view the world through a cosmopolitan lens.

Global Mindedness

I identify as a global citizen. Growing up in Serbia and moving to the US at a young age allowed me to experience two completely different ways of life and cultures but still identify with both of them. It opened up my eyes to how incredibly big this world is and how limiting it is to our growth…

Nationalist VS. Global Citizen

I am feeling more nationally for the simple reason that I have been brought up in a nationalist country, thereby I have only ever been exposed to such a regime. I have always felt this was the total norm. Coming from the United Arab Emirates, a country literally so united with people who adore…

Ancillary #2- Global Citizen? or National Citizen?

I identify as an American national citizen first before I identify myself as a global citizen because of my loyalty and pride towards the country that has given me everything. Growing up in the United States as a Japanese-Chinese-American, I…

Global Identity

Currently, I lean towards being a global citizen because I want to understand how my own actions and my country’s actions affect other countries and people with different cultural backgrounds within the U.S. To me, a global citizen is someone who is aware and accepting of cultural differences and…

Ancillary #2

I would say that I’m leaning towards a global citizen because It seems like it has greater potential than national citizenship. National citizenship doesn’t promise or even suggest a more equal society. It has resulted in ethnonationalism in the past, and that has resulted in genocide, injustice and…

Ancillary #2: Individual Global vs National Citizenship

Wanting borders in a borderless world?

I am tempted to say that I am a global citizen; at the very least, my views on many political issues lean this way. My experience of life thus far has been very global. I spent the first 7 years of my life living in Russia, attending an American school, and have…

Global Identity

I identity as a global citizen mainly due to my background. My nationality and ethnicity are Chinese, however, from the age of six I grew up surrounded by Latino culture in Chile. These two parts of me have always been a conflict when it comes to identifying myself, and the simple answer to “Where…

Why I am a Global Citizen

I am leaning towards a global identity because I come from a moral perspective that we should always help people, and when we restrict our actions, our privileges, and our opportunities to one place, we create a false sense of superiority or success that not only clouds our…

Identity’s Origins: A Collective World & Mindset

I am leaning towards a global identity because I have always seen myself from a conglomerate of cultures, a mixing pot of ethnicities that transcends a nation’s borders. Every time I introduce myself as Filipino, I have always gotten the…

Ancillary #2 Global Citizen

I identify as a global citizen.

With my mom immigrating to the U.S. from Iran and my dad from China, I feel a deep connection to both sides of my diverse heritage. Choosing which nation I feel more strongly towards is a decision I am incapable of making…

Ancillary #2

Currently I am leaning towards identifying as a global citizen because my family ties are internationally based. I do not feel as though I belong to just one culture or nation just because I grew up in America. At the end of the day, I am still Filipino and the main language spoken at home is Tagalog…

Ancillary #2, My Identity

I would identify my perspective neither as one of a national nor a global perspective. I was born in New York City and since then have spent perhaps a few weeks beyond our nation’s borders. I listen to American music and attend American schools. Even when I turn on the news, it is…

Ancillary #2

I sound like a grandfather, but I think it’s true.

If I had to pick between these two, I would say I identify nationally more than globally. I do think globally, though — one of my own personal ethics tests whenever I’m faced with a moral grey…

Why I am A Global Citizen

I identify as a global citizen because I truly believe we can not solve any national issues without addressing those of the world.

One of the largest problems facing our world today is the Covid-19 pandemic. While some countries attempt to close their…

What am I?

Until now, I always defaulted to the answer: global citizen. I have to be. I grew up in two countries: the United States and India, and I was pulled by both cultures. But thinking about this question over the past few days has plunged me into ambivalence.

The way I identify

I see myself as a global citizen. Global citizen refers to someone who sees themselves as part of a community who helps internationally. I come from a family that is both Guatemalan and Mexican which is why I feel that I am connected to more than one country. I was born in the United States but…

Ancillary 2

I see myself as a global citizen.

The core of the discussion between global and national views lies with the boundary of where our interest radiates. It is similar to what we consider the concept of private and public, neighbors and strangers. In our own lives, we care so much for…

Fall 2021

The primary problem in the world today is climate change. The continual degradation of our planet and its environments are the result of a lack of global awareness for the earth, the oceans, and the ecosystems that surround us. I believe all other problems —…

Ancillary #2

I see myself more as a global citizen rather than identifying nationally. I would define a global citizen as one that considers other cultures and countries when making decisions.

Because my family comes from China, my grandparents, aunts, and uncles all reside there. Therefore…

Ancillary #2

I see myself as a global citizen and nationally because I believe that the terms are mutually exclusive. Just because we choose to identify ourselves as a citizen of the world whom comes together with other people around the globe to solve problems that affect our greater global community, does not mean…

Ancillary 2

Having lived and studied in multiple countries throughout my life and having sentimental bonds with each one of them leaves me no choice but to identify as a global citizen. In my experience a global citizen sentiment can benefit people and the world in countless ways. People become more culturally aware…

Ancillary 2: A National Identity

I identify myself as a national citizen because I feel that it is more feasible to relate yourself to a nation rather than the whole globe. I think part of this is because the majority of my life I have spent in my home country rather than exploring the whole globe. In my…

Ancillary #2

I see my values and intentions to be aligned with being a global citizen, but feel sort of in a limbo. For example, I want to improve the state of my country and the lives of those around me, but also believe we must prioritize working together globally for initiatives that are going to help everyone…

Ancillary #2

I believe that identifying as a global citizen is critical to building a sense of self. Growing up as a Taiwanese American in the United States, My two different backgrounds constantly clashed with each other. Whether it was something small like taking off your shoes or leaving them on when entering the…

Ancillary #2

I am leaning towards a mixed identity between global and national. This is because I believe that in order to identity globally we must first come together as one in a national identity. With regard to the issues of nationalism and globalism, they both have their benefits and their drawbacks. Firstly, we…

My Global Identity

I identify as a global citizen. My parents grew up in Belarus, a small country next to Russia. Since my brother and I are the first generation Americans in my entire family, the rest of my family lives throughout Belarus and Russia. With this being the case, I have a strong personal connection…

Ancillary #2- Identifying as a National Citizen

Currently, I see myself as a national citizen because of its role in cultural continuity and maintaining diversity of thought. A nation acts as a form of identity for many groups and individuals. There is a sense of loyalty and family that comes…
