I wish to thank the members of my committee for their continued support. Dr. Hilary Landorf was integral in introducing me to the concepts of global citizenship and for keeping me focused on my topic. Dr. Bruce Nissen's keen interest and driving force in getting me to work diligently towards the interpretations of the findings of my study was much appreciated. Dr. Leonard Bliss has my gratitude because of his willingness to join the committee at a dire moment, and for his guidance through the psychometric process of my dissertation. Finally, my very special thanks to Dr. Mohammed Farouk, my major professor and mentor who had more confidence in my abilities than myself. Very persuasively, he steered me towards my goal, and final success! I would also like to thank Dr. Isadore Newman for making statistics meaningful and encouraging me to undertake a challenge, as well as, Dr. Linda Bliss for her understanding, constructive suggestions and ever reassuring smile. I would be remiss if I did not thank the principals and teachers of the schools that were receptive to my research. Of special mention is the Head of School, Dr. John Davies of Miami Country Day School, who made it possible for me to have all of his senior classes participate in this study. vi
