Global Citizen
We each have a native origin from which we build our national identity.
That nation has its own sovereignty by which it chooses who has power to govern its resources for the benefit of all its citizens.
Sometimes that power is used wisely and justly to create fair conditions for all to benefit from that nation's resources.
Other times that power is used unwisely and unjustly to benefit the few and leave destitute the many.
This is a call to your global identity.
You were not only born into a particular country, you were born into this world.
No single country or government has sovereign power to govern the resources of the entire globe.
This world is, in fact, the possession and native origin of every person living upon it.
You are a global citizen.
You have the right and the responsibility to help shape the way its resources are used to benefit every person living in it.
