The example of children mobilizing for a cause beyond their circumstances demonstrates their readiness to embrace a global mindset. With encouragement and good examples at home and in their community, qualities like compassion, generosity, and practicing the Golden Rule become standards they wish to strive toward, and which put substance behind what it means to be a global citizen. The notion of global citizenship becomes clearer when I recall the ethic, "Be a friend to the whole human race." Friendship is a universal value - it's important to everyone, and it can be fun. Envisioning this on a wider scale ("to the whole human race"), discussing it, and practicing it in daily life serve as simple, yet powerful tools for raising a new generation to be well-adjusted and peaceful, and ultimately, successful and happy.

Because sometimes they are scared to death. That is all I can figure.
I'm not some massively religious guy. But I also don't think religion has any role to play in the destruction of civilization.

Forgive me but I must vehemently disagree. All the world wars are fought over a different religious ideology, and to acquire land in the name of religion for the people who hold that "religion" dear.
