'''Cosmopolitanism''' is the [[ideology]] that all kinds of [[human]] ethnic [[groups]] belong to a single [[community]]  based on a [[shared]] [[morality]]. This is [[contrasted]] with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communitarianism communitarian] and particularistic  [[theories]], especially the ideas of [[patriotism]]  and [[nationalism]]. Cosmopolitanism may entail some sort of world [[government]] or it may simply refer to more inclusive [[moral]], [[economic]], and/or [[political]] [[relationships]] between [[nations]] or [[individuals]] of different nations. A [[person]] who adheres to the idea of cosmopolitanism in any of its forms is called a cosmopolitan.

The cosmopolitan [[community]] might be based on an inclusive [[morality]], a shared economic relationship, or a political [[structure]] that [[encompasses]] [[different]] nations. In its more positive versions, the cosmopolitan community is one in which [[individuals]] from [[different]] places (e.g. nation-states) form [[relationships]] of [[mutual]] [[respect]]. As an example, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwame_Anthony_Appiah Kwame Anthony Appiah] suggests the [[possibility]] of a cosmopolitan community in which individuals from varying locations (physical, economic, etc.) enter [[relationships]] of mutual respect despite their differing ''beliefs'' (moral, [[religious]], political, etc.).

However, the cosmopolitan [[community]] can also be [[understood]] as some kind of elite club, one based primarily on [[economic]] [[privilege]]. In this light, the cosmopolitan [[individual]] has advantages over less economically privileged individuals, advantages that might include [[personal]] and [[political]] liberties and [[freedoms]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmopolitanism]
