How should I, as a citizen, respond to globalization?

Globalization is the process by which cultures and nations around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent. This interconnection affects the economical, environmental, and social health of a country. Legacies of globalization, such as discrimination against culturally diverse groups, continue to impact the quality of life of cultural and national groups around the world in detrimental ways, often resulting in violent responses to these destructive legacies that frequently violate human rights. Although globalization acts as a powerfully influential force in numerous people's lives around the world - and some consider its effects to be supportive of overall prosperity and the improvement of human life - the aspects of globalization contribute negligibly, if at all, to sustainable prosperity for all people. As a global citizen, it is my responsibility to increase awareness of global issues, advocate a reasonable quality of life for all people, and strive to protect and promote the rights of all people, regardless of their race, color, gender, or nationality.
