In Martha C. Nussbaum’s “Capabilities and Human Rights‚” she quickly mentions global responsibility and global citizenship. Nussbaum’s thoughts fully capture the idea of global citizenship and its purpose. She proposes that in some places‚ especially the U.S.‚ people have the tendency to remain only within the comfort zones of their own society without exploring the people or cultures around them. This is one reality‚ of the world‚ in which we live‚ however; in a world that now yearns for interconnectedness

paintings a bit closer. The Large Bathers by Cézanne introduced a number of new ideas in art that inspired both Matisse and Picasso. It broke the rules of traditional perspective and set the base for abstraction. It was also the first painting where the human body was adjusted to fit the landscape and not vice versa like in earlier art. Cézanne’s figures are extremely flat and unfinished.
