1. World Citizens
Recurre a la vieja historia de Diógenes el cínico –
“A Greek male refuses the invitation to define himself by lineage, city, social class, even free birth, even gender. He
insists on defining himself in terms of a characteristic that he shares with all other human beings, male and female,
Greek and non-Greek, slave and free. And by calling himself not simply a dweller in the world but a citizen of the world,
Diogenes suggests, as well, the possibility of a politics, or a moral approach to politics, that focuses on the humanity we
share rather than the marks of local origin, status, class, and gender that divide us.” 1
