Defining Global Citizenship: From Philanthropy to Activism
Contributing to the common good takes many forms, from individual acts of philanthropy to ongoing patterns of social activism.
1) How can individual philanthropists make the best use of their resources? What successful frameworks exist inside and outside the region?
2) Do companies have a responsibility to the wider community, or should they simply contribute funds to "specialist" institutions?
3) What can ordinary members of society do to become active global citizens? How can such activism be encouraged?

I respect Queen ... ( 4 months ago by luvmusic200070)

I respect Queen Rania's effort to help the needy. However, more effort is needed to stop the religious persecution including rape, torture, and imprisonment of Christians in some Muslim countries. For example,some Christians were deported from Jordan for practicing their beliefs. I believe in a loving and merciful God who commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Muslims, Christians, etc. should have the freedom to practice their beliefs as long as they're not forcing or killing anyone.

Rania has been ... ( 4 months ago by gzaly)

Rania has been profoundly frustrated by arabic societal disgraceful realities that she was pushed into indirect desperate denial of her culture.She wants to make-for the West-an image of the Middle-East that does not exist.The Middle-East of Rania is a figment of imagination that the West would reject to believe,not for truth sake,but because the West wants the Middle-East to remain backwarded region inspite of all kind ingratiating initiatives and quests of the well-spoken Jordanian Queen.

How many schools ... ( 1 month ago by homer30)

How many schools were bombed during the Iraq war? How many houses where destroyed? How many innocent children died by american forces? How poor is Iraq now as american forces continue its occupation there? This is the result of businesses trying to destroy a country so that they can get in there and exploit its resources so that a CEO in NewYork can seat in his car in a traffic jam. This is a significant cause of poverty in poorest countries.

They talk a lot ... ( 1 month ago by homer30)

They talk a lot about charity, how to save poor countries from sinking more and yet they neglect Imperialism, american imperialism in particular as a significant cause of poverty. How can a business say they want to help the poor when their main objective is to gain more capital? How can a business say we gonna build school in Iraq but first we have to destroy your country so that we can plant a new economic system that will conform to American imperialist system?
