27. “The truth is that we are all profoundly affected
by the decisions and actions of people whose
faces we may never see, whose language we
may never speak, and whose names we would
not recognize – and they, too, are affected by
us. Our well-being and in some cases our
survival, depends on recognizing this truth and
taking responsibility as global citizens for it.”
~Mark Gerzon, American Citizen,
Global Citizen, p. xii
29. “The shift of worldviews begins with Einstein’s
counsel: ‘We cannot solve problems at the same
level of awareness that created them.’ So even
as we pledge our loyalty to different nations,
carry different currencies, serve in opposing
armies, and follow different leaders, we must
shift our level of awareness to include what is
global.”
~Mark Gerzon, American Citizen, Global
Citizen, pp. xvii-xviii

32. “Citizens 1.0-3.0 want to believe that their
group, or their country, is right and others,
therefore, must be wrong. But as we evolve into
4.0-5.0 we recognize the likelihood of
encountering multiple versions of reality and
we accept that it is our responsibility to learn to
make sense out of them. . . . The challenge of
global citizens is to un-learn the half-truths
that separate us and re-learn the deeper truths
that connect us.”
