Well, my Turkish friends, this is sort of an inquiry question with only two of the above options and only one answer to choose,
Answers such as "both" or "none" are not gonna be accepted..
Just select one of them, and explain me why..My personal answer is "world citizen" Guess the answers to this question will show us how much we r ready to integrate with the "others"

clever question but kinda missing in parts.
Should the people living outside Turkey not judge me with the crescent and the star in my passport, I could confidenlt claim to be a world citizen.
No consulates in Istanbul accept me as a 'world' citizen but always require lots of documents in order to prove that I'm a decent person before granting me a visa.
WHY? Cause they take me as a Turkish citizen!
When it comes to integration with others, I don't have much initiative anyway.

I am from Greece which is EU - supposed to be more global - but
when i think what i trully am, i really feel greek - turkish - iranian - pakistani - eastern person. Our culture is similar, same words, same food, same temperature, same brotherhood.
I trully feel that Turkish ppl are more helpfull than cold close-minded Europeans ive experienced living in England.
So in ur terms, i dont think any ethical person would like to be such a citizen, cold with no feelings apart from the taste and color of money. But if u ask about brotherhood, yep Turkish *ppl* offer it and its value is greater than that of gold.

Nobody is world citizen in planet. Don't say lie to yourself. People have their own habits, culture, religions etc. Families, cities, regions, countries too. World citizen is a dream, let's try to find right way to live together with respect our cultures, religions, habits etc.

I am a Turkish citizen, I am against globalism if that's what you are asking...To me globalism or global movement is a game of the powerful and big..
Still this movement is with us every single moment of our lifes, cheap American films, fast food, clothing with labels etc.. are just a way of globalism (or imperialism the way I see it)..
When you are a world citizen what's your culture and values going to be like have you ever thought about it..
what's the culture in Globalism, I tell you what the culture is, its capitalism and pure American culture..
It's not like how you dream it like..

I can see why you say world citizen. Turkey is pretty intolerant of other religions at times, esp. Christianity and Judaism.
Better to be thought of as a citzen of the World.
Plus the Germans won't just think of you as a "Gastarbeiter".
