Global citizenship is the way of living that recognizes world in an increasingly complex
network of connections and interconnections that nurtures personal respect and respect for others
wherever they live. It is the idea that all individuals have rights and responsibilities which comes
with being a member of the world with philosophy and sensibilities than a citizen of a particular
place or region (Marshall, 2011.). Global citizen is someone who is aware of wider world and
has a sense of their own roles as a citizen of world who respects values and diversity and takes
responsibility for their actions. Global citizenship teaches leadership\, service, ethic, awareness
and personal responsibility. Global citizenship recognizes part of one individual, expands
definition of community, discover values of world community, makes a person aware of policies
and programs and engages with organizations that are trying to govern the world. Global
citizenship focuses on internationalization which is central to quality education and emphasizes
that it is a means not an end. It benefits encouraging of students to consider their responsibilities
to communities and to world, institutions and society (Oxley and Morris, 2013). The major
concept of global citizenship is promoting happiness for other people to bring the same in return
and becoming a global citizen is based on the attitude of ourselves and with others. Global
citizen think, acts ans speak with virtue and integrity and have a healthy respect and
responsibilities for themselves, others and for intellectual properties.
