Global citizenship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Global Citizenship is both a moral and ethical disposition which might guide an individual or groups' understanding of the local and global contexts — and their relative responsibilities within different communities. It is motivated through a complex set of commitments to local interests (love of family, communal fairness, self-interest) and a sense of universal equality and notions of care for human beings and the world in its entirety. Global citizenship, as participatory action, entails a responsibility to alleviating local and global inequality, while simultaneously avoiding action that hinders the well-being of individuals or damages the planet. This notion is closely linked to an understanding of globalization and cosmopolitanism.
In the field of education, the concept of Global Citizenship Education (GCE) is rapidly incorporating, and at times superseding, references to "Multicultural Education", "Peace Education", "Human Rights Education' and "International Education".
In terms of international relations, global citizenship may refer to a nation-state's responsibility to act with awareness of the world as a global community, by both recognizing and fulfilling its global obligations, and recognizing the rights of global 'citizens'. Global citizenship is related to the idealist school of thought, that states should include a level of moral goodwill in their foreign policy considerations. Whilst a judgment of 'good' global citizenship is a subjective one, some widely agreed upon examples of cases requiring a level of good global citizenship include the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, and the upholding of the UN Charter for Human Rights. Many states struggle to strike a balance between being a 'good' and 'effective' global citizen.
The concept of global citizenship dates back as far as the Stoics of ancient Greece and Rome who pledged primary allegiance to the universal ideals of justice and honor over their allegiance to the polis or city-state. One of the earliest known declarations of global citizenship that is frequently cited by scholars came from the ancient Greek Cynic philosopher Diogenes. When asked where he came from, he would reply, "I am a citizen of the world."[1] Various intellectuals since have addressed this subject, such as Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense (1776) who wrote, "My country is the world. My countrymen are mankind." Albert Einstein, another popular intellectual, addressed the need for more of a global approach to citizenship when he wrote, "Nationalism is an infantile sickness. It is the measles of the human race."
Many challenges are presented by the term 'global citizenship', extending to a total rejection of the notion as even possible. For example, one prominent challenge is how global citizenship is closely intertwined with the concept of ethical universality (e.g., parcelling out individual responsibilities for the global). Ethical universality can frame global citizenship in terms of managerial tasks that are somehow coordinated by a larger (cohesive) entity. Global citizenship can also be seen as motivated by economic imperatives whereby one nation state encourages fluency of international markets/cultures/languages with the intent of being more competitive within a global economy. This is often identified as a 'neoliberal' approach to global citizenship. Global citizenship is people all over the world working together everyday making the world a better place.

Global Citizenship is what citizens sail round the world in.

Thanks Doc, my son thought friendship was a boat for all his mates.
Thanks for all the best wishes. I'm doing the power point tutorial as we speak!

I got the job in spite of my mouth which seemed to go into manic overdrive during the interview. I spoke a load of drivel. I'm much better in text! Anyway, I start on 9 June eeeek!
I nearly didn't get to the interview as Freddy fell of his trampoline the night before and landed on his head and then later threw up. So down to accident and emergency we went. He got the all clear and the sickness has turned out to be a virus. What a stressful 24 hours. Thank god I got the job though and it is term time only so I can carry on with Make it Science in the Hols.

That is good news and I am happy that you've got your job,
Well done Sharon

Congratulations, Sharon -
(as your agent, I get 10% - I remind you of the contract and the enabling of your application.)

No it is Sharon's sister holding a flying dildo. Sharon doesn't have any hands so her sister needs to hold the dildo. (remember, Sharon looks like a plastic bottle.)

Flog him!

Yes, go back to bestial behavior. Typical of the underclass who just cant take a joke. Corporal punishment has renounced by civilized people for over a century - except in Singapore.
I'll pray for your collective souls.

Where they have 1 of the lowest crime rates.
Murders - Houston 248, Singapore 14.
Rape - Houston 70, Singapore 1.
Aggravated assault - Houston 471, Singapore 21.
Total reported crimes - Houston 11,453, Singapore 1,934.
Singapore has more than twice the population of Houston (4.5m against 2m).

Only Small parts of it.
"civilized" according to the dictionary I use (the one that came with Mozilla.)

Ah, an American dictionary. That explains it.

Ah, American! As if "Colonial" were a dirty word. Not even Jaguar isn't even English, nor Land Rover or "All That is English."
-
Not even Jaguar isn't even English,
Let me put that through my Extremely Bad English machine to see if it can make any sense out of it.
-
You Brits are good at the extremely bad English machine - Never buy an English auto of any make unless it comes with a mechanic named "Percy"
-
hmmm... let me see.
Aston Martin? 1 of the best marques in the world.
Morgan? Hand-built by old school craftsmen.
Lotus? OK, Lotus are rubbish at reliability.
TVR? Bits fall off them all the time because they don't fit properly. Oh, wait a minute... they're built from American parts, aren't they. Anyway, TVR is owned by a Canadian these days. Well known for building cars, Canadians are.
Now, where was I? Oh yes...
Nissan Micra? 1 of the most reliable cars in the world. Built in NE England.
Mini? Wonderful little car and incredibly reliable. Built in Oxford.
Noble? You can't fault them. (OK, they're built in South Africa; but designed in Britain. However, they have now been bought by an American company based in Cincinatti but will continue to be bult in South Africa)
Ascari? A supercar to rival Ferrari & Lamborghini. Built in Banbury
Marcos? Face-stripping acceleration from this supercar.
Pro-drive Subaru Impreza WRC? Banbury again.
And all of the above can actually go round corners and don't need a sports stadium to do a U-turn!
American cars are still in the Dark Ages. For instance, the new Mustang has a live rear axle. WTF! Europeans got rid of those suicidal contraptions decades ago!
And when it comes to bhp per cc, the Americans are waaaaay behind. Pro-drive get over 500bhp from a 2litre 4-cylinder engine. Americans need 8litre V8s to get that much power.

"Yes, go back to bestial behavior. Typical of the underclass who just cant take a joke. Corporal punishment has renounced by civilized people for over a century - except in Singapore."
The ultimate in corporal punishment is the death penalty- still used in the USA- notably by a Mr Bush.
Most civilised states have given it up. I believe most of them also have lower murder rates.
If we want a debate about the death penalty let's put it in its own thread and leave this one to congratulate the originator.
Go! MakeItLady!

Yes it is my side business. I make them for Tim to use at Wimbledon.

Pity he's retired then

Nonsense.....come on Tim!

He retired last September.

*sob* so I've been making these rackets for nothing then? Damn, another failed business!

Sic transit gloria mundi

You have been plagiarizing Edmond Rostand again, I see. The phrase is spoken by the character Bellerose in the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand to comment on the defeat of Valvert by Cyrano.
(Blaster creature cannot even be original - plagiarizing hack Latin phrases.)
-
ooow! Hark at her!
-
I though "sic transit gloria mundi" meant vomiting exuberantly in a van at the beginning of the week.
-
See, plagiarism - he has provided the proof himself! The Beve didn't even know what he was saying! GAWD. The imbecility of some creatures!
-
"The Beve" [sic] knew exactly what he was saying. I merely feigned ignorance and you walked straight into my trap.
-
What trap?
"Beve" is the derogatory feminine of Beaver.
-
What absolute poppycock!
-
the admins should move this to the 'poppycock' section.

Never, never, never give up.
--- Winston Churchill

Did you know that Winston Churchill had a stammer. The king at the time of the war had a stammer so I guess talks at the palace took a while.
-
Lucky Bruce Forsythe wasn't there too.
-
wh... wh... wh.. who?
-
He was big pals with Sammy Davis-Junior and remarkably, unlike Sammy, is still alive and living with his gorgeous much younger wife. He is an entertainer par-excellence and although retired he still hosts Strictly Come Dancing on the TV. You have the same show in the US but I think it has a different name.
He is renown for his catch phrases, big chin and slight stutter. The latter makes him more endearing and easy to imitate by impressionists. (I don't mean painters!)
-
He's 80 now & can still tap-dance with the best of them.

k kkkkk ok

I think I had said before, that my son stammers. He is off to Swindon at the end of June to be assessed in order to go on a course. It has taken me 7 years for his stammer to be taken seriously by the professionals. I think that because he is bright he finds ways around things.
Winston Churchill was known as a great orator but actually his elaborate language was a symptom of avoiding certain hard constanants.
-
Sharon, I know it is not something that we should take lightly. I'll refrain hence force from taking the easy shots at those who suffer from speech disorders. Instead, I concentrate on the mother of the subject child who is so very flawed that making light of her for any reason - even just being - is so simple that you need to lock yourself in a closet and just repent - for being. You're wasting air.

You'd know all about that, wouldn't you.
-
Yes, I do. I am trapped in a space-time continuum where I am actually talking to some nutter why believes himself to be a beaver! This is rather bazaar, to put it mildly.
-
You obviously find it a truth hard to accept that you really are chatting with a beaver.
-
No, that I am chatting with a human man who is delusionally a beaver. And not a very funny or smart one at that.
-
So, you're denying that I'm a real beaver?

I DENY A BEAVER ON A KEYBOARD
YOU ARE SOMETHING - IN YOUR OWN MIND - FROM THE SAME PLACE AS ALICE IN WONDERLAND AND THE MAGIC MUSHROOMS OR OPIUM OF LEWIS CARROL.

I thought as much - Jimmy is in denial.

That depends. Are you riding a keyboard?

First day at work today! Boy am I going to need a sense of humour!

did you ever have one, and if so, where did you last see it a millineum ago?

How was work?

I don't suffer fools gladly, hence I seldom keep a job for very long.
