Similarly, I recognize that global citizenship is the idea that geographical location should not define a person’s identity. Mankind is interdependent and connected. To be a global citizen means that one is aware of the wider world, is willing to take action for an equitable world, and is revolted by social injustice.

In the US, the working and housing conditions of migrant farm workers are hierarchically organized according to race, ethnicity and citizenship.

people in the world. The stamp on our passport or our citizenship on paper does not solely define us because we are Canadian by heart, and our responsibilities, leadership and voice make us who we are. To define citizenship, we would have to compare it to a warm blanket and a bonfire on a cold day to protect us from the pure-white snow and icy ground.
