Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

What brings human beings together, yet allows us to keep our individuality is our CONSCIOUSNESS. When we are conscious as human beings, we are aware of the fact that as humans we all are one and need to respect and love each other. As consciousness about being a human increases disparity on the basis of caste creed, sex etc reduces in our minds. This consciousness of oneness keeps us together. Also, when we are conscious of ourselves, we realize our potential, strengths and weaknesses and thus we know that even as we all are humans and are one we differ from each other in our qualities and capabilities. This consciousness of intra- individual differences and realization of personal potential makes us individualize ourselves by way of actualizing our potential and thus have an identity in the human society.

Asker's Comment:

Since the question was on being global citizens & yet individuals, it is difficult, by virtue of the very question to choose any one's point of view. Every answer is truly celebrating the individual self with individual understanding. However this is one of the answers very close to how I think.

Answer 11

We all have one thing in common.
We are all humans.
We all think, eat, smell, sense, and have some form of a society.
We all share the same planet too.
That is what brings us together.
Our individuality is just us being humans but surviving in a different way.

Answer 15

Firstly I appreciate your intension of asking such a question for these days we are (human beings) going away from each other and interfer on others freedom etc
But still we are integrated with all kind diversity
I think the reason would be
1. We are still Human Being. But even animals are together without fighting with in their species any way let hope for the best.

Answer 16

Our cultural panaroma

Answer 17

human beings are social animals ...we want to connect to other people...,thats why its important to us to feel needed,wanted,loved...
True love brings individuality,its does not mean forgettin one's self but a journey of discovery,..a discovery of each other and of one's self

Answer 18

it is true and selfless love which binds the universe. Love is a divine experience if really understands the person and his or her personality, love never binds but it gives u freedom. It is a magical medicine and cure for all ailments and allows one to shine and grow in whichever field they are, but it is really difficult to find such love my freind..

Answer 19

Love and compassion brings humans together on all levels. As humans we all share the same senses to feel & experience life with family, friends, acquaintance, co-workers, etc. This is generalizing what we all experience and share, yet our individuality and uniqueness of expression makes the world more interesting, captivating and giving us a willingness to explore and share our abilities with others through music, art, sports, science, medicine, law, human rights, etc... We are an amazing species that should focus on the postive and acceptance more of others and the world will be a better place. We have to all understand that whether we live in the US, India, China, South America, Africa, Europe or the Middle East, etc we're all part of a global community that need each other to survive and grow.

Hi Sush !
Good question ! A inborn trait for survival we all have is to be together. I think our individuality is only skin deep ...like in appearences & likes & dislikes. Scratch the surface & we are more alike than you think.

Hi Sush

Man is a social animal. A single man cannot do everything on his own. He has to ask for help from others. We depend on each other for our needs which brings all human beings together.

Every person is unique in some way or the other. Everyone has some talent or the other. This talent and uniqueness helps everyone to retain his/her individuality. Rahul
