what makes a good global citizen?

Global citizen is a new term that has appeared some later years in many countries creating a fantastic movement in the youth nowadays. Global citizen is conception of the awareness toward global issues of all the human beings, especially for the youth in all over the world. As Ox ham, an international confederation of 14 organizations working in 98 countries worldwide to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice says: “We see a Global Citizen as someone who is aware of the wider world and has a sense of their own role as a world citizen; respects and values diversity; has an understanding of how the world works economically, politically, socially, culturally, technologically and environmentally; participates in and contributes to the community at a range of levels from local to global…”. In my opinion, there are several qualities that make a good global citizen.
First of all, a good global citizen needs to be empathy and understanding. It means we need to put our heart for the people we don’t know in over the world. A good global citizen always shows empathy for people around; especially those are in need such as poor people, the olds, orphaned and disabled children... A valued understanding and empathy action doesn’t always mean big and remarkable things; small and modest things are always respectfully counted. For example, there is nothing great to compare to an action of raising thousands of dollars to do charity, but it is also so kind of a student willingly to help an old man across the roads in a chaos traffic jam. Besides, as a global citizen, understanding and sharing suffer of people around us also bring happiness.
