Passports are an identity, they represent your background and let people know which country you can identify with. Personally, I am proud of the three passports that I own. The U.S., Brazilian, and Swiss passports remind me of my roots and like many other passports, they provide me with a right of passage back to the countries that I identify with. Of course this varies from person to person, but more often than not, a passport can be seen as an icon of acceptance by a country. They mean that we belong to a nation that we may stand proudly for. People often forget the importance of passports and what they represent because they help people know where we are from and a lot of the time, they allow us to show our culture in a potentially different environment, and this is often the case with U.S. Dual and Tri Citizens who can stand out in a crowd simply because they come from one more place. Passports can remind U.S. Dual and Tri Citizens that they have one or two extra perspectives that they can see from, and in turn they can have more opportunities to engage in conversations about different countries and cultures. Passports today not only provide people with an identity, but they also help their holders take a multitude of varying viewpoints throughout their lifetime.
