I will serve in my community five years from now. The real value of an education lies in being introduced to different values. Individuals have a responsibility to help solve our social problems. I enjoy discussions with people whose ideas and values are different from my own. I enjoy talking with people who have values different from mine because it helps me understand myself and my values better. My family has enough money to live comfortably. Voting is the only real obligation placed on me as a citizen. The world is run by a few people in power and there is not much the average person can do about it. I am confident that in the future I can help in promoting social justice. Disagree Disagree slightly Neither agree nor disagree Agree slightly Agree Most inequality around the world is due to structural inequality and exclusion. Learning about people from different cultures is a very important part of college. I enjoy taking courses that challenge my beliefs and values. I am confident that through service I can help in promoting equal opportunity. As a global citizen, I can apply knowledge in ways that solve “real life” problems. I am comfortable in situations where I am a minority. I am able to interact easily with people from other cultures. The courses I enjoy most are those that make me think about things from a different perspective. It is very important to work toward equal opportunity for people all around the world. It is very important to me to be involved in efforts to improve the community. Disagree Disagree slightly Neither agree nor disagree Agree slightly Agree It is very important to me to be involved in efforts to improve the world. I am a global citizen. It is very important to me to develop a meaningful philosophy of life. Contact with individuals whose background (e.g. race, national origin, sexual orientation) is different from my own is an essential part of my education. I enjoy things that are intellectually challenging. It is very important to me to give 3% or more of my future income to help those in need. It is very important to me to find a career that provides the opportunity to be helpful to others or useful to society. Individuals should sometimes give for the good of their community, country, or world. Having an impact on the world is within the reach of most individuals. Many misfortunes that occur to people are frequently the result of circumstances beyond their control. Disagree Disagree slightly Neither agree nor disagree Agree slightly Agree If I could change one thing about society it would be to achieve greater social justice. My family struggled to provide for basic necessities. I can describe the connection between my role as a global citizen and issues of social justice. I feel I can make a difference in the world. It is important to consider an occupation’s social ramifications when choosing a career. My family is wealthy. By choosing to vote or not to vote, I affect people around the world. Political issues are often too complex for a simple, obvious answer. The United States should consider the affect of its policies on other countries to a greater extent than it currently does. My family struggled to have enough money. Disagree Disagree slightly Neither agree nor disagree Agree slightly Agree Individuals, regardless of their nationality or citizenship, have an obligation to consider how their actions affect people around the world. It is important to be aware of current events. I identify with being part of a global community. I understand how actions in my local community may affect others around the world.
