1. It means people have a broader awareness of society than the small
world of their community.
2. It means that they have an awareness of how political forces work to
shape that world and their lives.
3. It means one has some level of awareness that members of a society
must be active in the governance of their world.
4. It means that one has some form of faith in collective action and is
willing to engage in it.

11. The importance of global citizenship cannot be
undermined mainly for two reasons.
First, many of our issues are global because of the
Westernization of the world
Second, many of our problems are caused by the
impositions of a dominant globalized rationality with
its systems of production, governance, and cultural
production and so, local action alone is often
ineffective.

12. GLOBAL COLLECTIVE
ACTION

13. People are called to global collective action
because of global problems such as:
● Global poverty
● Global warming
● Gender issues
● Good governance
● Sustainable development
● Global trade, fair trade, solidarity economics
● Terrorism and peace
