"We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependant on the well-being of other nations,far away...We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the world, members of the human community."
-Franklin D. Roosevelt, Former US President, 1945
This quote highlights the importance of supporting a Global Community, united by a common goal to move forward as one. "We have learned to be citizens of the world" this part of the quote really stood out to me as the main point. For I believe that to be a citizen of the world means that you participate in activities around your community to raise awareness about global issues - such as raising awareness about the environment or a natural disaster that has struck a foreign country - such as the earthquake in Turkey.
I totally agree with you that we as a global community move as one with the common goal pushing us forward. I like the fact that you picked out certain parts of the quote and explained it in further detail with your opinion added on to it. I also like the fact that you put your own thoughts on how being a global citizen, we should raise awareness about global issues. I feel as though that is an important role that we should be acting on if we are global citizens because it helps us fulfill the responsibility of a being a good citizen.
