C.A.R.E Model

C.A.R.E is an acronym for making ethical decisions as a global citizen. CARE stands for

• Compassion
• Action
• Responsibility
• Equality

If you want to benefit the world, you must take action. When take that initiative you must also take responsible for the choices and commitments you make. And when dealing with others, you must be compassionate to their situation and treat everyone the same. By taking these four things into consideration in your everyday decisions you’re sure to become a more principled global citizen.

If take into consideration the Arab-Israeli conflict for example the first step is to take action. Find out how you can get your government involved or assist an organization dedicated to diffuse the conflict.  http://www.fmep.org/ has links to many non-profit organization devoted to peace in the Middle East stationed anywhere from the U.S to Israel. If you are willing to become involved you must take responsibility for the commitments you have made to make a difference. And finally you must show compassion and equality even when dealing people on the other side of your argument. Perhaps their circumstances are different than yours, or you do not know the whole story. You need to take these things into consideration and give them a fair say. In my opinion action is the most important part of C.A.R.E because it is the first step.
