What does it mean to be a global citizen?

Due to the political climate the past few years, “citizen” has become politicalized, and controversy surrounding the “Citizen” in Project Citizen has surfaced. When we look closely into Project Citizen, we can see that the “citizen” in Project Citizen is a global definition. A better way to understand the intent of “citizen” in Project Citizen is to identify a big “C” and little “c”. The big “C” is the legal definition of Citizen, constitutional. The little “c” is the global definition—We are all part of being a global citizen; inhabitant of a city or town.
