I just finished watching a really cool documentary called the Listening Project. The premise is simple, a group of Americans travel the world and listen to citizens from other countries talk about their views of our country. I found myself thinking about what difference there is between being a “global citizen” and a citizen of your own country, what most of us are used to. I certainly think it is important to be an active citizen of the United States and am proud of being one, but we must learn to balance that with being a global citizen.
How do you do it? Do you see your self primarily as a US citizen or a world citizen?
