From the beginning and again and again. In the end, humans emerged from evolution. We have no scientific explanation as to why he was born or should live. His existence seems to be a coincidence. Or is it? Over the millennia, we have learned, sometimes better, sometimes worse, that we are not alone on this planet. Cultures, homeland, societies and personal circumstances have shaped us and we have learned from them, and are currently learning again, that we are not only dependent on each other, but also strongly dependent on each other.
At the beginning of the world, people from all continents were born with equal rights and dignity. During our personal development, we matured from subjects to citizens. This results in locations of the branch, affiliation, rights and obligations. A survey in 59 countries has shown that 70% identify as “global citizens” with an increasing tendency. Humanity is often referred to as one big “one family”. The question remains: How do we, as individuals or as part of the big family, deal with other people in other societies, in other families? Historically, history has shown many models of coexistence and a wide variety of people have had a wide variety of experiences in the world in the course of their lives.
Challenges as opportunities. Every inhabitant of the earth has grown into a citizen of the world by participating in living together with others. A citizen of the world, truly grown into the “unique” of his kind and ancestry. There is only him as an individual, whether he wanted to, sought it or not; He was never asked about this. He is there now and will be forced by the social systems to take a personal path in life and to take responsibility for his existence. Over the years, his behaviour will betray his innermost being: either he rules himself or he is governed.
