Cosmopolitanism in Philosophy[edit | edit source]

In philosophy, cosmopolitanism is the idea that all human beings, regardless of their political affiliation, are (or can and should be) citizens in a single community. This concept is often discussed in the context of global democracy and international human rights.

Cosmopolitan Magazine[edit | edit source]

Cosmopolitan is an international fashion and entertainment magazine for women. First published in 1886 in the United States as a family magazine, it was later transformed into a women's magazine in the late 1960s. It is one of the best-selling magazines and is directed mainly towards a female audience.

Cosmopolitan Cocktail[edit | edit source]

A cosmopolitan is a cocktail made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed or sweetened lime juice. The cocktail's success is attributed to its role in the 1990s to mid-2000s cable TV show Sex and the City.

Cosmopolitan Distribution[edit | edit source]

In ecology, a taxon with a cosmopolitan distribution is one that is found throughout the world. This pattern of distribution is not limited to any particular taxonomic group and can be observed in plants, animals, fungi, and other organisms.
