Investigation of relationship between Global Citizenship and Responsible Consumption
Keywords:
social responsibility, responsible consumption, global citizenshipAbstract
The study examines the relationship between global citizenship and social responsibility by comparing the datasets of two primary researches. In the first research, it was measured environmental awareness, conscious consumption, and global citizenship, and in the second, it was examined aspects of global citizenship along the three dimensions defined in the literature: social responsibility, global competence, and global civic engagement. The purpose of the study is to examine whether a correlation can be demonstrated between the results of both researches. The research was carried out using an online questionnaire. In this study, the evaluation of the answers refers to the Z generation during the comparative analysis of the data. An interesting result of the comparison of the two surveys is that in the environmental awareness survey, the social responsibility dimension of global citizenship reached a higher value than in the "general" global citizen survey. Based on the results of the analysis of the two independent primary researches, it can also be concluded that the context of the survey has a significant impact on the relationship between global citizenship and social responsibility among young Hungarians, therefore grasping the connections proves to be a very difficult task.
