Global Connections Quotations

• Individual Reflection: Choose one. Write on the back . . . –How does this relate to you personally?–How does this relate to you

professionally?

• Table Talk: Share either your personal or professional connection.

• Listeners respond to the quotes and/or the connections shared.

“The truth is that we are all profoundly affected by the decisions and actions of people whose faces we may never see, whose language we may never speak, and whose names we would not recognize – and they, too, are affected by us. Our well-being and in some cases our survival, depends on recognizing this truth and taking responsibility as global citizens for it.”

~Mark Gerzon, American Citizen,Global Citizen, p. xii

“The shift of worldviews begins with Einstein’s counsel: ‘We cannot solve problems at the same level of awareness that created them.’ So even as we pledge our loyalty to different nations, carry different currencies, serve in opposing armies, and follow different leaders, we must shift our level of awareness to include what is global.”

~Mark Gerzon, American Citizen, Global Citizen, pp. xvii-xviii

The 5 Stages of Becominga Global Citizen

• Citizen 1.0 – Worldview based on one’s self (egocentric)

• Citizen 2.0 – Worldview based on one’s group (ideocentric)

• Citizen 3.0 – Worldview based on one’s nation (sociocentric)

• Citizen 4.0 – Worldview based on multiple cultures (multicentric)

• Citizen 5.0 – Worldview based on the whole Earth (geocentric)

“Global competence is the capacity and disposition to

understand and act on issues of global significance.”
