About Bluemen performance & Global citizenship

Part I About the Bluemen performance
A. Transcribe the complete text.
YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING EARTH AS YOUR PLANETARY VEHICLE
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE MANY WONDERFUL FEATURES OF THIS PLANET

THAT IN THE EVENT OF CONTINUED INACTION
IN THE FACE OF GLOBAL WARMING
YOUR SEAT CUSHION CAN BE USED AS A FLOTATION DEVICE
ALSO
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO LOCATE THIS PLANET'S EMERGENCY EXITS
AS YOU CAN SEE
THERE AREN'T ANY

EARTH TO AMERICA!
CAN YOU HEAR?
SENDING OUT A MESSAGE
LOUD AND CLEAR

CAN YOU HEAR?

B. What do you think of this performance?
Up to now, many countries including America, the most powerful and richest country on Earth, do not take the global warming seriously. Our planet is sick and dying. If we do not take the Bluemen’s warning seriously and take drastic action now, it might be too late to save the planet Earth. The Bluemen’s performance, with its video clips and sound effect, gives the viewers a very deep impression of the present dire situation of our planet and a sense of urgency to act and save it NOW.

Part II About global citizenship
A. In what ways do you think you are already a global citizen?
I think I am already a global citizen because I am linked to the world socially by telecommunication and media. Although I am studying in Taiwan now, I still have close contact with my friends all over the world through internet. And I know what is happening at the other side of the world through newspapers and television. I share the same planet and the same environment with everyone else. If any thing happens to the world I will be affected one way or another.

B. How can you become a better global citizen?
To be a better global citizen, I think I should know how to appreciate others cultures and respect and value diversity. I should have a better understanding of the way the world works. I should act and live responsibly to make the world a more sustainable place.
