4. Global citizenship is associated with
rights and obligations, for instance, the
right to vote and the obligation to pay
taxes. Both rights and obligations
link the individual to the state. We need
to be willing to engage and to spend time
and effort to the community of which we
feel part of.
5. Global Citizenship
"A moral and ethical
disposition that can guide the
understanding of individuals or
groups of local and global
contexts, and remind them of
their relative responsibilities
within various communities."
6. Global citizens might
be a new type of
people that can travel
within these various
boundaries and
somehow still make
sense of the world.
7. Global citizenship does not
automatically entail a single
attitude and a particular
value with globalization.
We must remember that
globalization is not a single
phenomenon; rather, there
are many globalizations.
8. While some need to be multiple
futures for multiple globalizations.
These globalizations created
enemies because according to one
broad view, globalization failed to
deliver its promises. The so-called
bottom billion lacks infrastructures
and has been disenfranchised. The
opponents of globalization blame
either Westernization or global
capitalism.
10. TRADE PROTECTIONISM
involves the systematic government
intervention in foreign trade through
tariffs and non-tariffs barriers in order to
encourage domestic producers and deter
their foreign competitors
11. TRADE OFF
is a different approach to economic
globalization, which emerged as a counter to
neoliberal “free trade principles”. Fair trade
aims at a more moral and equitable global
economic system in which, for instance, price
is not set by the market; instead, it is
negotiated transparently by both producers
and consumers
12. HELPING THE BOTTOM BILLION
Increasing aid is only one of the many
measures that are required. International
norms and standards can be adapted to the
needs of the bottom billion. The reduction of
trade barriers would also reduce the economic
marginalization of these people and their
nations.
13. When it comes to dealing with political
globalization, increased accountability
and transparency are the key issues.
Increased transparency has been aided by
various mechanisms such as transnational
justice systems, international tribunals,
civil society, and particularly the
Transparency İnternational.
14. Like globalization, resistance to
globalization is multiple, complex,
contradictory, and ambiguous. This
movement also has the potential to emerge
as the new public sphere, which may
uphold progressive values such as
Autonomy, Democracy, Peace, Ecological
Sustainability, And Social Justice.
15. These forces of resistance
are themselves products
of globalization and can
be seen as globalization
from below.
16. The impetus for such a
movement comes from
individuals, groups, and
organizations which are
oppressed by
globalization from
above (neoliberal
economic systems or
aggressively expanding
nations and
corporation)
17. WORLD SOCIAL FORUM(WSF)
is centered on addressing the
lack of democracy in economic
and political affairs. A
significant influence on WSF
has been that of cyberactivism,
which is based on the "cultural
logic of networking" and
"virtual movement “ such as
Global Huaren.
18.
19. GLOBAL HUAREN
This cyberpublic was
formed as a protest
against violence,
discrimination, and
hatred experienced by
Chinese residents in
Indonesia after the 1997
Asian financial crisis
20. The idea of global citizenship demands the
creation of rights and obligations. The dynamics
of globalization demands the efforts of the
whole array of inter- governmental
organizations such as the United Nations and the
World Bank; international NGOs like
Greenpeace and Amnesty International; and the
citizen initiatives and community action groups
that reach above the nation- state level like
World Social Forum and Occupy Movement
21. Ultimately, reforms in global
governance are required to
allow world citizens to take
more part directly in all aspects
of human life at the global level
