ACTIVITY PHASE 4: Answer this question briefly, “As a student, how can you become a global citizen?”

To become a global citizen, one must have the behavior, knowledge, and skills to take an
action to solve a problem individually or collaboratively. And as a student, I can become a global citizen
by being able to communicate and collaborate with others, being able to solve problems, being able
to make decisions, and most of all, being able to think outside the box. It is an important skill for a
student like me to be able to think imaginatively as it helps in understanding and gaining more
learnings about the world we live in especially with the diversity of identities, cultures, and beliefs,
and to be able to find solutions to problems that seems unimaginable. Moreover, being able to
communicate and collaborate, physically or digitally, with others makes it easier for a student like me
to learn and understand diverse cultural views and perspective, and all other issues therein. Lastly, as
a student, I can become a global citizen by being able to decide for myself and do what is right may it
be online or offline.
