Cultural Identity and Citizenship With the Challenges of Globalization (Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences; Vol.6, No.13)

Citizenship is the emotional feeling that is based on three important pillars, including democracy in human rights, civil society, and the relationship between citizenship and identity, is manifested in the active role of individuals in social construction within human societies. Globalization affects citizenship when it exists among individuals and groups in society. Individual and social affiliations, characterized by anthropological features within social groups, can also impact citizenship. Thus, there may be a specific relationship between globalization and cultural, religious, or other identity patterns. Today, globalization threatens both identity and citizenship. As societies adapt to the global system through these global changes that force interaction with globalization, it becomes essential for communities to address this issue to preserve their identity and individual belonging, whether geographically or socially. This forms the basis for researching the dimensions related to citizenship, identity, globalization, and their interrelationships, which pose significant challenges for societies.
