Hi David,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good broad topic, but we need to make it a little more substantial.
For example, why was the UN started, and by which countries? Previous to the UN, was there anything in place to promote peace and harmony? (for example, treaties?)
In what wartime/peacetime events has the UN played a huge part? Has the existence of the UN prevented or promoted any conflict?
Also, there are many who think the UN does more harm than good. Why do these people think this way?
So, the UN is a good broad topic, but for the amount of writing that you need to do this semester, we need to do some deeper digging into the topic.
I look forward to discussing this with you on Wednesday.
According to History of United Nation webpage, United Nation was started by 50 countries including United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union because the need of International peacekeeping organization after World War II. Before United Nation formed, there is organization which similar with UN called League of Nations. League of Nations was formed during First World War under Treaty of Versailles. However, because of League of Nations failed to prevent World War II, it replaced to United Nations.

ReplyDeleteAlso, there are many who think the UN does more harm than good. Why do these people think this way?
