Global Citizenship
Title of the Article

1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)


i. Development cooperation
ii. Verhoeven’s roles typology
iii. Republican citizenship theory

2. Insights (What new insights or learning did you gain in discussion/ activity?)

i. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I didn’t know what global dimension
of citizenship was and if I had a guess, it is a citizenship given to all of us people of
globalization.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now realize that global
citizenship’s definition doesn’t fall to our normal definition of citizenship. Whereas the legal
definition of citizenship is the state of being vested with the rights, privileges, and duties of a
citizen. the character of an individual viewed as a member of society; behavior in terms of the
duties, obligations, and functions of a citizen residing in a society. From my reading I
understood that global citizenship is actually a behavior that does justice to the principles of
mutual dependency in the world, the equality of human beings and the shared responsibility
for solving global issues. Global citizenship as I understood is a behavior a person practices
by contributing to global progress and sustainability.

ii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I didn’t know anything about
citizenship theories and what are expected of citizens.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize that we
citizens have formal and moral dimensions to follow. Formal dimensions are legalities of
being a citizen while moral dimensions are the ethical actions a citizen has to do to contribute
to the society positively. In this article they discuss 4 citizenship theories that varies on the 2
dimensions and context. The first citizenship theory is liberal citizenship theory that simply
revolves around the idea that citizens of this theory prioritize their self-interest and follow
certain formal dimensions as a citizen. They are not pushed to participate in the society thus,
there’s no moral dimension in this theory. The second theory is communautarist and it’s the
opposite of liberal. This theory encourages the citizens to contribute for common goals of the
society. This theory expects the citizens to actively participate in the community thus
fulfilling the moral dimension. the third theory is the republican citizenship that is almost
similar to communautarist however, the citizens of this theory focus on the political
community. In short, the citizens are expected to proclaim political acts that will help the
community. The last theory is neo-republican citizenship theory, which emphasizes on the
idea that previous theories don’t take into consider the current state of diversity we have. This
theory simply expects the citizens to be reasonable and accept diversity. From those, I
realized that the most applicable theory for a society is relative however, in this more
integrated world, its good to practice neo-republican.

iii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that sustainable
development would be more effective if the common goals the citizens have achieved would
be combined by the government and then offered globally as the contribution to sustainable
development. I thought that communautatarist citizenship would be more effective.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize that in our
diverse yet integrated work, it is more important to look inward and contribute individually
than to reach for common goals and let the government combine the efforts. Global
citizenship tells us to be more aware about crises and problems and will ourselves to
contribute not only for the present but also for the future. I have realized that being
knowledgeable individually and putting an effort individually would be more effective than
combing society efforts because sometimes, other citizens don’t contribute anything.

3. Questions (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas you want more
explanations about?
i. Is global citizenship required to have a successful sustainable development plan?
ii. Can the theory of liberal citizenship, with its focus on self-interest, still be used to
procure sustainable development?
iii. Isn’t global citizenship too far away of an idea for poor countries?
