"Citizen" means "member" with the rights and responsibilities of membership. You are a member of your family, school, Regent Park, Toronto, Canada, friendship group, maybe church or mosque, and THIS WORLD.
You each need to be concerned about 3 things:
WORLD:
The preservation of your planet and its resources
Your own contributions to specific other people
Your own contributions to the general good (health, wealth, well-being) of people you may not ever know
“There’s a radical—and wonderful—new idea here… that all children could and should be inventors of their own theories, critics of other people’s ideas, analyzers of evidence, and makers of their own personal marks on the world.” Deborah Meier, educator

I think to be a " Global Citizen " is to be a member of a country or a state or something, to have rights of the country, and the ability to make a living at that certain place. A " Global Citizenship " is to have responsibility for the earth, for example during World War 2, where the " Jews ", "Catholics", etc. Were being executed. ( Over 6 million died ) without the global citizens from other countries to help stop World War 2, all of them would be dead and would probably would have had Hitler running the world. Thats what being a Global Citizen is.
I think a global citizen is a person who lives in the country and has the right to do things like freedom of speech, freedom of religion and most importantly freedom to vote. As canaidian citizens we have the right to vote as our country leader. Canada also reconizes the unfortunate. We give them a hand by raising money.
I think gobal citizen means to have responsiblites and to have rights in the world. We have responsiblitles over the world not only canada. I think that gobal citizen is really important beacause we have responsabiltles and more things. in canda we have every thing but in other countrys they have hard times in the tusami they had hard times. by Famela
I think global citizenship that you
care about the how world not just
your contry.if other contrys have
floads If you are global citizen

I think Global Citizen mean every one has rights in the world. Who ever you are in the world.Also I think global citizen mean just because you have rights. You still have to help the world.To say thanks to every one who help you.This reminds of when I help some one then they help me back. when the hurracan hit New Orealen people helped I think every one should do the same thing in life. This is what I think about Global Citizen. By Samir
I think global citizenship means that we have rights and responsibilities to our earth, like some of our responsibiilties are that we have to respect, protect, and conserve our earth's energy. Our rights are to live on earth and grow. A lot of people all over the world show global citizenship by helping the people that was attacked by the tsunami. They helped the injured and sent some food and some other stuff to help them. If I could do something to help them, I woud do my best to prevent these dissasters, but if they do happen, I would go help them.

Global citizen means to me that I have to be very thoughtful to others and to myself.And to care for others like for example Africa. They have kids there that are having AIDs and stuff we need to help them . LIKE THE tsunami AND THE SECAND WORLD WAR, people from free places had to go and help! I have a dream to be a doctor to help people like sick people. by Ranice
ΩTo me I think Global CitizenShip means taking care of the earth by preventing global warning,helping other people when they need help(not the very bad people that murdurs people,steals car,shoots people for no reasons and robbing houses).I also thinks it means giving the poor some money,things that we don't need and food.This reminds of some people that help the poor(they were very generous).Ω

To me Global Citizenship means responsibilities because you have to take care of the world and not only yourself. What this reminds me of is my home they always like to do things like spring clean, save energy, anything that the goverment says or the mayor. My Family wants to try to do whatever they can. They want to suceed stuff. This also reminds me of the tsunami. I felt really sorry. I want those kids to have homes and friends and family and food. By Stephanie

I think a Global Citizen is someone who thinks about everyone and does good by helping people and helping the world to be a better place.My family sends clothes and things that people need to people in Philipines. Lots of people in Philipines are poor so were trying to help them.

A global citizen means to me is to stop caering for our self and have more time caering for the animal and saving anergy,stop war,save water,and lot's more,I will stop litering and make the earth clean.

I think a Global Citizen is a person who makes a difference in the world.A Global Citizen could be anyone who the world will reconize for their leadership,determination and conflict on the world.If you want to be a Global Citizen you can start by helping your community!This reminds me of Nelson Mandela because he is a leader who made a change in the world.
Global citizenship means to me that you are being good to everyone and ever thing. i will try to help the animals by trying to stop global warming.
What it means to me to be a global citizen is to be a focused student, and be determined to achieve your goals by working hard and not let obstacles stop you. Just like Nelson Mandela, who spent many years in jail but still never gave up his dream. Like Junko Tabei who became the first woman to climb Mount Everest. And it also means to contribute by helping people out. As a student of NMPPS, you can try to imitate one of these traits and do something positive - like ... help raise money for the families who were caught in the middle of the earthquake in China.
I think if you're a global citizen you have to love the world you live in. Like how you love your country, city, town, etc. If you're a global citizen you should respect your world and care for it and care for everybody living in it. For example you wouldn't like to pollute your world. Or you care for people's education and health, like the unfortunate event in China.
Education is a big part to be a global citizen. If you had no education you wouldn't be able to do much. Currency, Economic, Environment effects everyone's life in this world.
I think if you were a global citizen you should help the world like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King.
I think being a global citizen means you are a person who is knowledgeable of the global issues.
these people are usually humanitarians( they are very focused people) they usually know
what they want at a young age.
Examples of these people are: Nelson Mandela, David suzuki,Ghandi, Mother teresa, MLK Jr and Malcom X. I think that if everybody was a little bit more like these people then the world would be a better place. an example of these actions is when Nelson Mandela was put in Jail he Didn't give up because he wanted justice for the whole world. The same story for all of the other people I have Mentioned.
I think to be a Global citizen it means to be respected and known all over the country,also it means to have freedom and not be pushed around and told what to do.It means not to pollute the earth and to live life the way it's supposed to be lived.
If you are a Global citizen,it means you are a member of the world and a person,not just any stupid human. It means that you have proof of being a "somone" and not a "No one".
To me, to be a global citizen is to have the responsibility and respect towards the world.However, just because you have right it doesnt mean you should take advantage of them. Just because we have the privilages that not many other people have in the world, doesnt mean we should take advantage of them.
What is a global citizen? A global citizen is a person who cares for the earth and the peaple in it, for example Martin Luther King jr who wonted all black men and women around the world to be free. Martin Luther king was not trying to get out of freedom himself he wanted to help others. Barack Obama is also a global citizen he want the world to be a good and peaceful place. One thing that makes me a global citizen is that I try not to pollute as much.
Global Citizen has to do with alot of responsibilities. I think that being a Global Citisen is to respect everybodys culture,religion and their looks.
And also a Global Citizen to have the right to do anything you want. In other words to have freedom and to have rights in our world.
And it's also about caring. And I also think it's about peace,fighting,deversity ect.
I think being a global citizen is a person who stands up for whats right or take in charge of the worlds issues. Also, what i think it menas is to take action and stop voilence from happening. And to respect everyone around you and yourself.
I think that being global citizen is a person who cares and does something to help the worlds issues.Also a global citizen is a focused person who is determined to achieve their goal.For example, Nelson Mandela was in jail for 27 years because he was fighting slavery for all the people who were inslaved.
Junko Tabei achieved her goal by being the first women to climb mount everst.Anyone can be a global citizen if they are determined to achieve their goal.
I think Al Gore is a global citizen because he is going around the world trying to stop global warming. He is trying to save the world by trying to stop global warming because he puts the world first. I think Al Gore is a role model for alot of people.
I think global citizen mean, is you and my world is all the people is not only me, we all has to save the world,help and love each other.
last do toger global citizen .
I believe To be a global citizen is to have respect and social justice to them self and others including animals. David Suzuki is an inspiration to me because he cares for animals,the world and the society.
A global citizen cares about people who work in the factories and are making pollution and the world is becoming more hot. This needs to stop. Another example is in Brazil, in Amazonia, where people are destroying the forest and setting the forest on fire. People go to Amazonia and people kill too many animals so the animals are disappearing. The government of Brazil needs to investigate the foreigners who are hurting our rainforest. We need to help the planet. Now I will start by learning science so that later I can protect the animals.
