Globalization is explained, as the trend of increasing interaction rate between people of different regions or continents in the whole world (Globally), due to advancement in technology like transport and Social Media. Behavior changes Globalization has influenced behavior changes, whereby people have started to copy the behaviors of each other from different states,

Terror attacks, due to interaction with many people through globalization, have led to the development of terrorist groups, which has led to the loss of many deaths and suffering the. These terrorist groups have led to immerse property destroys and also causing loss of lives and suffering like the one of on Omaha beach attack on June 2009, which caused the death of many people example in Normandy cemetery in America.

Behavioral changes, globalization has led to behavioral changes whereby people develop queer behaviors' because of what they are facing from the visitors. I.e. people have changed the dressing models, which is different from their native ones. Example nowadays due to globalization it is seen as a common thing to many people walking on the streets half-naked,

Political changes, globalization has made many states to have political changes as they try to copy other states political setups. Hence, leading to clash of politics, this sometimes results in some states having political instabilities, (Samuel. Huntington. The Clash of Civilization and The Remarking World).Through globalization their hope for tomorrow is revived, this is where we believe that our tomorrow will be better to than today because our today is better than the yesterday.

Global citizenship is an idea where anybody has equal rights and civic responsibilities of becoming a member of the world .i.e. being the member of any state he or she wishes live. And shouldn't be restricted to one nation only and he will enjoy equal right like native members of that, the state without being discriminated, (Parmenter, L. (2018). Politics, Global Citizenship and Implications for Education. The Palgrave Handbook of Global Citizenship and Education (pp. 331-345)).

(Parmenter .L.) Article explains how politics and education influences globalization, it further support that politics literature always provides useful notions for conceptualizing global citizenship. Pictures important issues such as political leadership changes, developed authorities globally, development of change debates in many nations globally. Global Citizenship has also led to more implication on education like a need for further politics research from under re-presented perspectives and gives one potential to think for change every time.

Global citizenship has helped me to know the importance of coping with the nature of the world especially in education and technological developments, by embracing global citizenship concepts, am able to interact with many people globally and communicate with them professionally. Since global citizenship entails accommodation of aspects of foreigner's cultures hence helps me to foster understanding between teammates, from different nationalities', globally. In addition, this eases my communication with them.

Global citizenship has changed my personality and reasoning whereby nowadays I can work with anybody despite their nationality. Global citizenship ship has broadened my mind in the community also in coming up with new inventions that can help them to cope with the current technological growth in the world.

Global citizenship has enabled me to come to new ways of thinking and developing deeper senses on cultural empathies and keeping up with current situations in my personal academic and professional goals. Whereby am able to have a meaningful conversation with foreigners and this has helped me to keep up with current situations and events in my academic and professional goals. That has helped me to know how to apply the knowledge I have learned through technology to help me achieve my dream academic professionals. Example when am learning online courses, I get the information globally through computer internets and social media technology since I can understand many communication languages globally.

Global citizenship, (world citizen) is an idea that anybody ha right and civic responsibilities that come with one being a member of the world, with whole world philosophy and sensibilities rather than member or citizen of a particular nation. In addition, global citizenship explains that one identity transcends geographical or political borders and that one right is derived from membership in a broader class.

Intergroup empathy

Global citizenship has led to intergroup empathy, also known as the in-group favoritism; preferring one group because of their race, color, or racial discriminations. This has led to enmity because of the increasing global citizenship many of the people being discriminated the who have different colors that are different from theirs. Example the black skin color for the people who had acquired global citizenship they may be discriminated or looked as the odd one out, in everything leading to development of racial discriminations on basis of skin color. This intergroup empathy had been witnesses in many parts of the world and even causing wars and clashes like the Negros and whites In USA as well I South Africa apartheid crisis.

Social justice,

Social justice is one of the major outcomes of global citizenship, because since it raises the concept of fair, and equal distribution of resources, And between the individuals and society it is also viewed, in terms of wealth distribution in the community. This was influenced by global citizenship, whereby the knowledge, material resources, and technology from one state are used to benefit another nation through global citizenship interactions or individual interactions too.

Developing value of diversity, through global citizenship and too much interaction am able to recognize differences between people and acknowledges, hence being able to respect everybody in the society that am living i.e. I value their diversity despite their nationality.

Developing intergroup helping altitudes, global citizenship has enabled me to have personal cross-group friendship attitudes globally, despite my geographical region, am always ready to help people and develop a friendly relationship with everybody I mingle with in my life i.e. I have developed positive interaction across real-world group boundaries.

English, through learning of English general education courses, I am able to develop fluent communication with many people globally and interchange each other ideas too while using English as my language, despite their nationality and their native languages. In addition, English courses have made it possible for me to access all technologies in the whole world since most of the information is written in English.

General History courses, through the study of history courses, I am able to understand different traditions and social cultures of different people globally, and how to interact with them, according to their beliefs, customs, and laws they use. Having broad knowledge of different states political systems and political stability globally hence enabling me to be able to carry myself in a better way as a global citizen.
