First of all it really depends on what country since I am from the Philippines, it would

not be difficult but it's not easy if i were a first world citizen. But since i am from the philippines

and im a filipino, and the philippines is a third world country so basically i'm a third world

citizen, it's very difficult since i was born in a family were not wealthy or other words not so

privilege family some people called it middle-lower class. As a member of this country or even

a citizen I have a responsibility to be informed on what is happening, what is the issue, what is

the situation of our country or our world. Meaning to be a proper citizen we need to be

open-minded and willing to accept and learn other people's opinions or ideas on how to improve

our world. rather than dragging every person down. It means appreciating diversity and

appreciating the distinctive viewpoints and experiences of individuals from various cultures and

origins. Even when you disagree, you must be willing to listen and have civil conversations with

other people. In short terms being a citizen means seeing yourself accepting that everybody in

this world is unique and you're accepting it open-minded and respectfully.

When we say global citizen it means someone who cares and is aware about our world

and place where they are currently staying and living in. Also as a member of this kind of

citizen means that as a citizen I'm responsible for making this community great for the new

generations to live in. and the attributes of a global citizen. Cultural

awareness,empathy,responsibilities,communication,open-mindness. When we say cultural

awareness since everyone knows even people in other countries know that in countries there are

multiple people that have different cultures,religions and beliefs. We should respect each other's

culture no matter what even if it's not to our liking, the best way is just to respect their culture

so that people will respect your culture too.

 The word global citizen means someone who can clearly demonstrate that they belong to

the entire global community. It contains the notion that everyone can be a part of a single global

community, regardless of nationality or place of origin. Global citizens are aware of and

concerned about issues that affect people and the environment outside of their purported nation.

They are aware of how intertwined all of the world's problems are and are committed to fighting

for a more just and realistic world. On the other hand, national citizenship refers to a person's

official affiliation with a certain nation. It can be acquired through birth, marriage, naturalization,

or other legal processes, and it frequently confers certain rights and obligations inside that nation.

Benefits of national citizenship frequently include access to social services, and the ability to

participate in national legislative debates.

Despite their obvious similarities, there are a number of notable differences between

global citizenship and national citizenship. Global citizenship is distinct from national

citizenship, which is tied to a particular nation or legal system. National citizenship could be a

legitimate status that confers rights and privileges inside a specific nation, but worldwide

citizenship may be a philosophical concept that empowers the thought of worldwide harmony

and shared responsibility.

As a global citizen here in the Philippines I can say that there are too many issues and if I

am given a privilege to take action and make a positive impact.

The first would be poverty. Poverty has been one of the most famous problems here in

the philippines, and according to the statistics in google philippines has one of the highest rates

of poverty in Southeast Asia with around at least 21% . As a global citizen I am concerned and

if I have the wealth and power to help I would probably focus on poverty first before anything

else.
 Second will be corruption. Since corruption happens not only in our country but in others

too it can take many forms not only in the government. As long as it's related to power like for

example bribery or embezzlement and use of position for personal gain that's corruption. And

as global citizens, the only way to fight is to educate other people about choosing the right

person to lead as and let them know what would be the cause and consequences if they choose

the person who will not lead wisely. It is crucial to speak up and inform the proper authorities.

This may also serve to prevent others from suffering harm as a result of corrupt behavior by

helping to expose it.

Third will be Human right violations. such as extrajudicial executions, forced

disappearances, and torture, have a long history in the Philippines. As a global citizen, you can

support organizations that fight to advance and defend human rights in the nation and speak out

in favor of laws that uphold and defend the rights of all people in order to address these

problems.

The last and fourth one will be the Disaster response.Since we all know that typhoons

love to hit the philippines It has the potential to seriously harm and displace. Supporting

organizations that seek to aid affected areas and advance disaster planning and response across

the nation can help to lessen the effects of these calamities.
