Or the Holy Grail for your thank you for the work that you critics of this project. This lets me know that the energy that we put in to you what you're doing in your educational experiences that I've been out of college is well worth all the time effort and energy that we put in so thank you for being the proof of our putting And that's what the Second here is a request. I like all other presentations because I think that you are giving good advice and I would like to listen very carefully to what you said. So if you would pass on to Dr Birch feel good copies that he would like for me to have I will be thinking quite carefully about how we can incorporate your thoughts and we can make you plan a couple of the first book you just came to the central and I didn't really see that then in the studio. How do you weigh in with what is your primary and then also what do you do you address. I'm not asking questions. So I'm wondering why that phone might wind up or is it something you might want to bring home. It's your place you know I mean it's you and he is going global citizenship. Why I think you know you just find it seem like part of the definition of being the local citizen is having the slightly more cosmopolitan. Right. And so do you do Georgia Tech students identify more as global citizens or they have more power then you know I think about that and then also at home I feel a tad more students and all that because I think that's really what it was wrecking but we had talked about like a long term survey that would've been more in-depth and have questions like first asking the person that you know what their identity is like Asian Pacific coast before services access and change and we just ask they consider taking myself so there's a good question. I see where it goes from I think in terms of where your primary income to just what you're doing really especially when you look at all our different diversity programs. I think one hundred you'll see it's like we have the diversity but here we have so much here nationally from medieval fifty two countries the media. We are all this is written or well do we have the diversity not just in terms of your graphic which is a cultural But what tends to happen is as we focus not only in our major player or stations or in our research we take in kind of purposely bird making that person purpose would use to be ourselves with in those. This is old and discusses like I'm the engineer and some people here are counting down with the worst of the world are the same thing. The Muslim League brought a lot of the I didn't cost us more closer to home in terms of improving that one of the biggest issues you see on the organizational basis and from two different solutions is that true cooperation instead of just say cross cultural support So let's say but African-Americans two years in India could have enjoyed the day that promotes different aspects of those courses you don't see that because the communication is not there. Every legitimate institution is to seal point from the student so we really don't always see a whole lot of different colleges to you Can you don't you know introduce from your classes. You'll see in our classes like this that really brings up an issue so why. So it's really that two pronged Yes I was if the students are a reflection of part of it institutes. I was just really just dollars program where I had to go you know I think it's because me how to take three of these Special Topics class and then you whatever you want to be a very strange creature and there's a interesting and you know this next a completely random natures and you know how you can extend that to the entire It's disputed especially images like B. and you know I guess like space to take three letters but that's really helps. And I take it one or two places that are specifically focused on teaching. There's one in telling that's just all it's to change. So yes students heading up into students and vice versa. Except for us here and I am still in place and they said about classes in Chinese you will interest in your disciplinary education but it's an adventure and offers a wide range of crazy. So if you're part of my state that's basically as an international. It But any major It can join our easy work of Dr. Another way to promote the cause and hold your own in the world is you volunteered for so there are a lot of organizations. Give us a just moving red cross burnings you know the law and hearing and serving in the Atlanta area think it's just all about understanding why it's the longer it being your group talk you know you don't even know everything Midrashic offers in terms of their national education and then just to think about service out of the Survey Group results we saw that volunteer got like volunteer working was probably around like sisters and so because I think those all those really low percentage of all of the participation like taking it to like that actionable that shows that our students kind of we have the beliefs and like we our church is actually guided by diverse campus and we are in such a that it will light a college campus but a lot of students have trouble kind of finding outlets for kind of that will push them to make that next step. So I think that because I was designed out this presentation the third presentation a lot of resources are getting pretty invested in finding her extended respects in goods abroad which I think is incredibly important but I do think that in order to today because of how to understand campus Yasuni because some of those resources on the students so bad products that our universities are making because we're we're the ones who are going to be the global leaders one day and I think and I think that's all right. I want to offer her more individual history simply right. What we can do as. Me here who pulls this point. Down by having a pretty good sort of class of all time help team. Teaching and some want to do and in their classes through our national student minority students are sitting on the margins and teaching gathers for the ready international students and faculty member has a large role but I think students also playing important role and why you hear this. You know crossing the lines and really trying to do that. And this microcosm of the Divergent are so global and you do the same thing and lead to more kind of missing from that that's a really perfect example. I think of what shall talk about when you're discussing crosscut cultural empathy and the dynamic between the insider versus outsider status and how so you when you think of the word global citizenship you think of someone who while least idea initially off the bat someone who like goes abroad and like helps the world's kind of or has a conception of the world but how can you be a global citizen without leaving your own community and that's where you have your The Insider. How can you embrace other cultures without leaving your own home. Let's embrace in the outsider and when you go abroad or you are the outsider and you expected. You expect to be embraced by the insiders you know. So yeah I think that's that's a great way we can practice global citizenship without leaving campus because no matter how hard we try we everyone will not be able to study abroad but I feel the way I see it like I don't know where. Actually make sure I think classes are interacting and you know people are talking here I don't have a good idea who this person is that I'm forced to speak but it would be like I mean just like in high school or the school you have a seating chart you never did manage to get the white the person to the left or right your right or if they were different especially in those times when everyone is different. And I think that is a big reason why you know a lot of people who I think that you know where that where that structure is put in place you gain a lot of across time but you're forced to commit something that's younger that you actually don't smell like you actually are nice. You know you get this feeling of being good like and I say that we can joke but you know you have a point. So I mean that is so we could widen the problem we've got everyone like a kid. What you call the security situation here. That's probably I'm fortunately something that psychologically just happens you know where you don't get I mean frankly I think really everybody here in the playground here you know you can see that people can't walk. That's what it's like just I wish my legs basically no I guess they feel like they're still just like one of those who are just what you want to I guess so she really really has a home so I think the sign advertising. If we lived to be a very small ball of couples on the go with paid to Leno's thirty seconds at a time. Tito you get a look into some of the work so you know something can happen Tylenol camp is like to have time for me to really like the posters and know that potential is what it is what it is like when this is when you hear somebody in the country into the world who lives here like we could do so. Who would be the first got sugar cane and something like that goes something like you know so we can call it like relate to like Bill and Hillary fusion. Yeah you know let's just ahead because it was all I. Like question international this is really just for a primary you know what you get there on a day like I think a lot of respects you are and that they should say well this is a really engaging. There are differences and stuff and I think because they don't have to deal with. For example and the other project. They're choosing to get one because it's from nature and she has access to you and I think that's because she's from the people who respond to her way of speaking in a negative manner and a president has the right of where they want life in the fact there are just differences and they didn't like it for the actors and here it is it has so I think really it's an issue again like that in the station bases where they can recognize their differences and engage in a way that's not something I have to go through and you have two more things to here with me so I don't know but the other is to emphasize what you just heard strikes me that one of the one of the outcomes of what you do today is that understand the goal of globalization is not to come out and so what's to come to really keep their heart. Their goal is not for them was just you're right that you know this to engage just to do a whole lot of other things other than come on. Isn't there and to learn to respect all those differences and not try to make everybody. You are just like me just like me. But that's OK because the other thing is really a commercial one of the reasons that I was late today. I had a meeting at MIT shared. You know the organization minutes here we have Georgia Tech students who are already working there through the biomedical program but they're also looking for volunteers because they pack up things and what I saw today is just it's just the closest to the hole and if you are at all interested in the lives really matter call related resources all over the world through this remarkable way that makes your hair collecting and then you go out it will be wonderful experience you have to have transportation however because you know if you're interested that Dr Birch because that's really what I have to go out and I do invite all of you to the I mean our college rejuvenation station which is starting now. Not your intercessor at the student success thank you so right there. Thank you so much. Can't wait to take to have fun and when I thought it was all right. All right. I never said response to that one which is ridiculous because we've all been participants or at least years. Maybe you can't avoid it. You are accountable so there's something wrong with our educational system. If people don't know how to. Yeah there's the question I think you know I don't know what the question we did it was we don't have a question. But you know it's up to people understand what we're talking about just like I've done. You know I think people using They know that the other more often than not the other one where the mistakes are just sharing with you that was where they are becoming more serious and thoughtful and looking at you know why and I like to understand why people will sit and chippers not only cordial but absolutely necessary and the necessity. I would call it isn't coming at all from technology right now that the technology would not be at all important Facebook or any of these things that simply the underlying reasons that we have to worry about global citizenship. I don't hear any mention of those who were there talking about it here is the reason that we have all this technology on this planet to do because of population growth and because the world's him a population has to it is going so fast that it's a serious fall and the corollary to that is that the population is growing for that. So we have eighty three percent of the world living in urban communities of course the kind of activity there actually real life sentence work and what we have it is really quite more whole world is becoming a living. Rather than like you know historically there. So there's a reason for global citizenship to be so partly And of course that connected problems issues. That's a gymnast importantly a global warming and reduced resources we don't have the resources just put these cities right. Like I was seeing and I'd like to soon think a little bit cooler that the new debt a little more depth of what you're sending here it's not just leadership it's not just social connections. Just like I remember that Jackie said of engagement. It's a solving real world problems that says you know all of the things that I would say well I mean I actually want all the students response I'll try to be brief and you know how challenging that is for me and I did I was really disappointed that the first group didn't focus on big the second group project that you did which was exactly that speaking to growth global problems and so you know one group did climate change. For example. So maybe you could speak to that but I will leave it at that I don't know who was first granted Yeah I mean I much was pretty quickly. I thought what you did I thought of the way that you kind of just brought that out very gracefully by the way because I think that it's not in the sense of I think it's a generational because I think it's I think that there is the idea I think of myself just within this community being global citizen I'm a first world uses and whatever what not everyone here and I think when I'm in the middle of the day to day grind what direct attack yes I had to. I had to seek my wife that I had to seek my why as far as like why I'm here. Why I stay. Why I'm getting this degree what technical skills that I'm going to use long term and I think that for the in general just in general consensus and you know maybe wrong is my opinion but I think that when you have a technological school where it is so heavily based on what you produce which is great because that's what ultimately the world is about that you do with your mind and I think that the why does get lost in Georgia Tech and lot of circumstances where there are times where just due to the nature of maybe it's the students and with the times or maybe it's the nature of the classes or to be the professor you know that my wife either can get lost in or gone and I had to find that I saw this course as a reason for me to be like Google says. Yes that's much more bigger that it's something different that I never seen before. Just as a chemical engineer I could go through everything of course I need to as an engineering graduate never took a course set for me in my can you talk about the why. And so I think that it's I think it's more in the sense that I think of my parents I think of order. You know generations where there was a time when there wasn't all that technological technology tech that weren't right. And you know things were the values and morals of change. You know family time was much more secure back then than it is now. And so I think that there is fighting back to why do it for me you know why are we doing all this so we can all be together that you can stay connected and I think that Georgia Tech just in general and maybe just my personal experience I've been either the head of the Tao This is what it is and what this is the mechanics of what you have to do and then if you find a line if you see that that's a plus. So I mean this whole thing I think you're printing. Now we have all your time with the White House right. Yeah yeah that's right. If you want to find I find that a TED talk that identified with the movies or go by writing and the apple example but you have to bring up the more concrete about why black white tents were to tap why the couple of the citizens. What was the question that every second that you are right now it's just I think I think Brit in the piece said what I was will turn. Why go through this. If you don't like it as a high school or a school everybody who says that kind of if you like to be useful for good purposes. That is like the evangelical right now especially the readers will always be especially about here to be clear about just to let the idea of those who say that because of course because that was going to be up to us to actually come to realize how we got to college who always has time to actually dance just a little below. If you will because in the people there we have such a crowd she has to. Point that we kill somebody here it's like this will come up with a wooden invention that it's crashed in Computerworld he lowered his leg or just like a lot less money but I'll be a little colder than that all cancers and then kill everybody but he's going to be up to us to know how we used to take that kill take what we do and how our progress is visited how he is only really for the past the health of the whole population or I'm going to work. What we think about the big myself as you think about how about we do what we want money for use everything learning explaining the schoolteacher is there to use it or thank god. Here's what I did you know like it's going to be as he put us up to earth so that's why because he says that's the White House Bill says just because every technology is advanced in we we need yet to be socially responsible when no one because the words are point eight right now there were of people those who would really get large advances so rapidly all of a lot that you know we could look at that could that were possible out of fifty six years ago. So that the Able to the ship is that is going to be the determining factor of our office of our kind of life. So to answer a question about what the wives expound on or how I think of the why there is two components of it. One is well why do you want to do something everyone what can you actually do with the technical knowledge that how are you different. And what I mean by this is like the first part of why it's like what we question about the motions like you know what were the dice fire to be like with this sort of love to have a lot of this great things you know the engine functions I'm learning about the world work to actually get my what I wanted to touch into the world and the second part is what I can actually do with this kind of goes back to what you're talking about all these problems with like you know scorched resources like water. Of energies that are you know coming about and what we actually do there are some that you know like so so that we may discover that you know we're we're not technically whipped or to the quick glance Yes you can type you want to certain you know challenge like the many aspects of global warming. For example that in that case we need to vest more in the house with you put knowledge of you know why we're doing this you know we have a more of a steering wheel we can steer more clearly the direction we want to go or you can just come down to the whole you know this whole theme of course is a ship like we have the solution we have to go ahead. But we need to require everybody to get their share. Sometimes So it's a policy issue like you know every country needs to become aware that global warming for example is a national effect policy in years myself so with every This policy issue together and you know so with that you have to you have to understand like how you can reach the solution through working together with global citizenship values or the lack thereof which could result in civil rights. So I think there's there's two things we ourselves what we can actually aspire to be with the knowledge of Miller and there what we can actually accomplish through you know dialogue through interact with people from policy through technology. This is very interesting to me to hear you on the thing with limitations now because I think a lot of participants don't think that there are limitations but there are going to be what I think you're looking at this is this is clearly that and I think having spent some time in Congress. I feel like there's a gap that George how can we have a technological expertise and we kind of have the beginnings of what you said but I think there is there space for some sort of institutional realisation you find technology as X. so I guess humanities me to discuss this which is very hard. There's an interest. I can just get a little better out of I guess we're going to actually just combine the humanities and technology a little bit more there's a lot of places to go you know expressing this very well that we can start contributing to contributing to a culture where tech like technologists scientists wasn't really it's not that I think policymakers listen to experts. There's a lot. Well I think we're actually likely to like some steps in that direction. Like I mean that's very you know that's right up here in the book over just like you would like with let's put it very high tech and so because of our democracy and the Internet it's sort of lying around sort of into perspective where you know different things. When they're still reading and also you're hearing for good. Which is doing right. A lot of these are all very tactile so I think we're to steps in that direction that could be one of the biggest issues just like you're talking about but it's always safe to say that the and I think most people I at least through it myself with on this campus have good intentions I mean I was the one that I'm like I was going to be you know I think that I go back a little bit you know I did the general already the general by from people I mean I love being in the services that you have with your single question about what we do and that the Fosters are really really good. So everyone here is if you're not really new security why don't you meet me feel like you are you know and I think that's kind of like you know I think it's like the first feel if you literally could have a job anywhere in Europe. Look at this and I really get me that I was just just waiting to hear your numbers actually very much. So anything. There is well just other people and it's like you know I think that your wife has you here for some reason and you know maybe we could talk about it sometimes but it's like I mean that is ultimately no matter what skill all the stuff that you know and everything that you can read off of your head that means nothing if I don't know why you're in your life. And so I think that that's kind of just like it's in a row. You can kind of put across anyone just like you know I feel like a professor is why is actually just because he cares what people invest in my life and wants me to go far. I don't care if they're not the smartest person ever seen or if I care that they are you know it doesn't matter. Alternately if I feel like i'm them and they have a way in the practice of skills of getting that across technological stuff I mean I'm going embrace that and so I think it's the grow up kind of person burka those pictures of that stuff coming. I guess I think I really appreciate your comments and your questions and I would like to revisit you are so because as you as you prefaced it it's. It was a critical one. And you pushed and that's what I think we try to just about every class and one of the challenges of this class was that there is no this isn't a body of work. I mean like other courses that we all have taught in our disciplines or even when we done other joint jointly top programs global citizenship actually is an invention. It's a social construction it's a concept we see that it's you know it has different just says by different individual different institutions and I think that you know introducing that first to the students that look you know we make a lot of assumptions and I saw some evidence of that even in some of the presentations that are still you know some categorical assumptions about big challenging concepts that have been around a long time. Globalization identity citizenship and we started this class with the question What is you know first things first. What is citizenship and we explored in our lives. Just a nutshell kind of the it's the notion of citizenship in the antiquities. And there was no there was no anchoring in the nation at that point and then you know we spent time looking at how the concept of citizenship has evolved historically and part of the thing I know you all appreciate this and realizes that we still we've outgrown a lot of the concepts and institutions of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries but we're still operating in those institutions and I think your question is really about how with population increase and with different technological changes we we can't escape the reality of an increasingly globalized world globalized society and so our concepts are just concepts their ideas their inventions of the human mind. With individuals fashioning political institutions or other social institutions that help us deal with all of these issues that we're grappling with. Right. Including very tough challenges from the natural world scarcity pollution depletion of the of the ozone layer and these things and if we don't have concepts philosophies ideals worldviews habits of mind and practices that allow us to get out of those outmoded ideas from the eighteenth or nineteenth and even the twentieth centuries writing. We can't really fully realized global citizenship in all of its complexity. So I think ultimately this class has decided we've had a lot of debates about whether or not our enterprise here that we're engaged in producing some definition or statement. That it's a real it's not so clear. We don't want students or faculty or anyone in the Georgia Tech community taking this lightly and assuming localization is here to stay and we've got to be global citizens and that's not the we're doing it for fun right. I mean one of the things they get you mentioning we looked at globalization as a contested concept as globalization is not necessarily inexorable there are a lot of forces. You know agitating against globalization including nation states trying to really really enact policies or put up walls and fences and borders. So everything has been you know as a contest station but we still I think as a class. I think I can speak for everyone. We want to we're pleased that Georgia Tech has this goal and we want to have credibility and in doing that we think it has to be a dynamic process and one that allow students and faculty and different groups like us to continuously visit and revisit this goal and this you know this the meaning of global citizenship. What are your answers what you say it's really good because for example when they just couldn't description a requirement for exactly a similar to the globalization requirement the verbiage that is used is just too nonfunctional all it did was take my words from the previous requirement and put it in global issues. You know so if it was humanities would require humanities who request a global issue period. So the description in the curriculum requirements is in the description. So that's really good practice for us. I guess as a sort of yet ten or so ten intention is just to solve it. We'd like to see more college where we are trained to see problems and help fix them using our or you're focusing so much on my. On Earth missions going to be operational and it's going to be more of a mystery to everybody. It's interesting I have to say this one last thing one of the engineers in the class who when we had to this is going to pay men with the definition you know what just right up your definition where you know great works of the way into the semester or maybe it was even more so everybody did that then we had a new can in the session we read each other's definitions so where. And one student I happen to be an engineer said I think being a global citizen is comfortable being uncomfortable. That's an engineer writing. That's not someone from the humanities and that's really abstract to write but it has real meaning and I think it really tapped into Amy's important contribution to the course and talking about their cultural learning concepts in our cultural sensitivity as a developmental process. You know it's not something that we think that you can memorize these traits and try to you know be good citizens and then you know why you get a gold star you're good global citizen it's much. It's it's hard and it's about you know challenging your own assumptions. It's about enhancing self knowledge which is you know fundamental goal higher education. It's all it's it's very difficult to distill it into this one statement and we're not sure yet if we're going to produce that statement or do we do we think it's important for Georgia Tech to put that somewhere on its home page on the Georgia Tech website. This is what we mean by and by the way this is what we need and it will be like being comfortable being on the cover or you know any string of interesting and provocative ideas that all of the students have produced throughout the course of the semester. We that's to be continued to live a good. But it's needed. I mean I would say that you have to like to go to the strategy which is like our expectation of our very brightest are going to work for you if you go out there. I don't see how we can unite kind of have a more of a definition of where are going to persist and where is global citizenship in the eyes of Georgia Tech because again you can really get this from now on the local Jacinto perspective but from the international perspective it's when people are going about their daily business they we want to ask what this Georgia Tech thing we are in a sense striving to be that technological or economic or social cultural city or for other places and like how can they leave us if we don't know what it's all about. I want to thank you all again for. Right.
