Angelina Jolie wants her kids to be conscientious global citizens. She said, "They are from across the globe. When I see Mad in Cambodia, it's his home. He is a Cambodian man, and at the same time, he is also an American citizen and a global citizen".
"But it's not just important for him to go there, it's important for his siblings to go there too. We've been very blessed to have a family of different cultures and races. We are all learning from each other."
"I mean, that's the thing for a lot of mothers, and for a lot of parents regardless. But I think even more so if you have adopted children. They have to choose you too. It's not the parents' family and they're in it. It's our family."
"I know this may sound strange, but don't make it a duty for them to do good or have to give back," says Jolie. "If we can help children feel that it's not about duty or service or charity, but the joy of an interconnected life with people you respect, then it feels very different."
