Global civics suggests that [[civics]] can be understood, in a global sense, as a [[social contract]] between [[global citizens]] in the age of interdependence and interaction. The disseminators of the concept define it as the notion that we have certain rights and responsibilities towards each other by the mere fact of being human on Earth.<ref name=case>{{Cite journal|last=Altinay |first=Hakan |title=The Case for Global Civics |journal=Global Economy and Development at Brookings |year=2010 |url=http://www.brookings.edu/papers/2010/03_global_civics_altinay.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100603104201/http://www.brookings.edu/papers/2010/03_global_civics_altinay.aspx |archive-date=3 June 2010  }}</ref> [[World citizen]] has a variety of similar meanings, often referring to a person who disapproves of traditional [[geopolitical]] divisions derived from national [[citizenship]]. An early incarnation of this sentiment can be found in [[Socrates]], whom [[Plutarch]] quoted as saying: "I am not an Athenian, or a Greek, but a citizen of the world."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wcaa.org.au/|title=Global Parliament &#124; World Citizens Association (Australia)|website=australia|access-date=19 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190819194210/https://www.wcaa.org.au/|archive-date=19 August 2019}}</ref> In an increasingly interdependent world, world citizens need a compass to frame their mindsets and create a shared consciousness and sense of global responsibility in world issues such as environmental problems and [[nuclear proliferation]].<ref name = feasible>{{cite journal| last = Altinay| first = Hakan| title = A Global Civics: Necessary?

Baha'i-inspired author Meyjes, while favoring the single world community and emergent global consciousness, warns of globalization<ref>{{cite book| chapter = Language and Universalization: a 'Linguistic Ecology' Reading of Bahá'í Writ | first = Gregory Paul | last = Meyjes (also: Posthumus Meyjes) | title = The Journal of Bahá'í Studies | publisher = Association for Bahá'í Studies | volume =IX (1) | year =1999 | location = Ottawa | pages = 51–63 }}</ref> as a cloak for an expeditious economic, social, and cultural Anglo-dominance that is insufficiently inclusive to inform the emergence of an optimal world civilization. He proposes a process of "[[Universalism#Non-religious Universalism|universalization]]" as an alternative.

[[Cosmopolitanism]] is the proposal that all human ethnic groups belong to a single [[community]] based on a shared [[morality]]. A person who adheres to the idea of cosmopolitanism in any of its forms is called a cosmopolitan or cosmopolite.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cosmopolitan|url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cosmopolitan?s=t|work=Dictionary.com|access-date=7 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160102020627/http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cosmopolitan?s=t|archive-date=2 January 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> A cosmopolitan community might be based on an inclusive morality, a shared economic relationship, or a political structure that encompasses different nations. The cosmopolitan community is one in which individuals from different places (e.g. nation-states) form relationships based on mutual respect. For instance, [[Kwame Anthony Appiah]] suggests the possibility of a cosmopolitan community in which individuals from varying locations (physical, economic, etc.) enter relationships of mutual respect despite their differing beliefs (religious, political, etc.).<ref>Kwame Anthony Appiah, "Cosmopolitan Patriots," Critical Inquiry 23, no. 3 (Spring, 1997): 617–39.</ref>

Canadian philosopher [[Marshall McLuhan]] popularized the term ''[[Global Village]]'' beginning in 1962.<ref>Marshall McLuhan and Bruce R. Powers (17 September 1992) The Global Village: Transformations in World Life and Media in the 21st century . Oxford University Press: 17 September 1992</ref> His view suggested that globalization would lead to a world where people from all countries will become more integrated and aware of common interests and shared humanity.<ref>Chapman, Roger.
