Young people need to understand that being true
“global citizens” is not limited to United Nations
costumes and having the most number of facebook
friends. Global Citizens are concerned and
proactive citizens of a world that is growing
smaller and smaller everyday. They must realize
that beyond the pageantry and festivals around the
world, there are challenges that need to be met and
overcome, and their youthful idealism, energy and
creativity might just be what the world’s most
troubled nations need.
