One day...

Global citizenship is a state of mind...

Talking about gender...

Paulina Chiziane about the Westernization in Africa:

"We move forward and backward. I am glad to be an African women, we can not self-colonise ourselves".

From Martha Nussbaum

The parameter "US-THEM" seen in the text of Nussbaum can be used not only for a critical reflection about American values related to blind patriotism and radical positions beyond the national borders. It serves also to think in cultural stereotypes that are consolidated by the lack of information from "them" (the other, that basically is "us") and the lack of opportunity to know peoples realities without the dependence of sight abroad.

I have a Question...don´t you ?

Actually, I have many questions and I would like to hear from you, starting here that desirable intercultural dialogue...
Are there possible answers or different questions related to our latest days topic?

Here are mine:

Is the idea of Global Citizenship as global as globalization?


How is it possible to extend this concept worldwide considering our sociocultural global diversity?

See you!

Where is charity?

... in a smile of understanding and tolerance, in kindness to strangers; in attention to the talker, in respect of the confidences of a friend, in respect to the habits and the scars of the other...
