#37B GLOBAL CITIZEN

I do not primarily identify with any particular nationality, religious or ethnic group. I think of myself first as a global citizen, and try to be  knowledgeable of people, customs and culture in regions of the world beyond where I live.  In ethical decision-making considerations involving “people” and “place,” I identify all human beings with the former, and planet Earth with the latter. No one is excluded from my ethical concerns tenteveryone is inside, all are family.  (Note: global citizens seek to think / behave / vote based on protecting our planetary home and the well being of all its inhabitants.)
