“Can There Be World Citizenship?”

In order for there to be ‘world citizenship’ things would have to be a lot different than how they are now. However, we have come a long way. People want world citizenship but there are so many controversies that tie along with this. Some people don’t even want world citizenship, some people don’t care, and others are so against it they will spend eight-one years of their life promoting it. I’m not sure if the question should be so much can there be world citizenship but rather can we come up with an agreement of a way to reduce war and terrorism in order to further world citizenship. Complete world citizenship is something I’m sure I will never see in my lifetime. Yes it would be wonderful for our United Nation to serve as one and come together, but the reality of it is just far stretched. People are always going to disagree and that’s just the way it goes. The best we can do is hope to continue to further ourselves as a United Nation.

This article relates to the video we watched of “Talk to an Iraqi.” He was going around trying to find out more information on the war and what Americans thought. Some were for the war others were completely against it. I would say the Iraqi himself was looking for world citizenship. It also relates to what we have recently been talking about our generations. Things were so different just four generations ago. To look back at where they were and their beliefs and how we believe and act now is a complete one-eighty. People didn’t speak up and take action, people didn’t want to have their voices heard because they were afraid of discrimination, and people didn’t want to change things because of fear. Now people can stand up and fight for what they believe just like Elise Boulding.
