Global Citizen and Your Importance

A global citizen is a person who is in involved in our developing world and contributes to the development of our world, preferably positively. A global citizen should be willing to stand for issues they believe are important and raise awareness of the issue for others to do the same. In the world we live in, we are all global citizens whether we recognize this or not. My reasoning for this is that we all (consciously or subconsciously) care about and advocate for issues we believe are important, whether it's something as small as what's being served in the cafeteria to something as huge as human rights violations. You may not think you're doing much by casually talking to your friends about society's problems, but you may plant ideas in their mind that were never there before. You may not think it's important enough to advocate the world about it, but they might.

You may be asking yourself what you have to do with any of this, and that's a fair enough question honestly. Take my blog topic for example: sexual identities. By reading my blog (or learning information on this subject through other sources) you can educate yourself and eventually educate others on this subject. This could maybe spark some interest in their minds and cause them to do something great for the contribution to putting a stop to the  discrimination of lgbtqiap individuals. In other words, by subconsciously spreading awareness on a subject, you could be indirectly changing the world. Express your opinion (as long as it does not hurt anyone) because you never know what could come out of it.
