Why your primary identity might be the human race, not a nation
In short: Hugh Evans explores a movement that shifts our primary identity from local tribes and states to a collective global citizenship. Watch to see how this shift in perspective is mobilizing people to tackle systemic issues like climate change and extreme poverty.
The core of this movement is the belief that individuals should self-identify first as members of the human race rather than a specific nation or tribe. Evans argues that because the most pressing challenges of our era—including gender inequality and environmental crises—are global in scope, they require a corresponding global mindset.
By adopting the role of a global citizen, individuals are empowered to demand systemic solutions from their leaders. The goal is to move beyond local interests to address universal problems that no single state can solve alone.
