What do I think about the movie...

I did not understand very much the movie. I think it is complicated because It talks about a lot of things. Like about taxes, then about a store, then about unfair things for workers, and then about cows. I understanded some things such as the unfair things for workers and the cows things. Well the workers were forced to work 15 hours and the store was called sweat store and they had all the windows closed and the door closed and everything was closed so they could not go out, and there is one case that in a sweat store there was fire in the building and the workers of the sweat store could not go out because everything was closed. What I understated about the cows was that they were putting some kind of drog to the cows so they produce more milk, and also that in the meat of cows that we eat we are eating some of their hormones. This is what I understanded, in my opinion it was a little complicated the movie.

Introduction to Globalization

1. What do most people think globalization is? Most people think that globalization is buy cheep goods from other countries.
2. What is the real definition of globalization? Making cheep products and selling them all around the world.
3. How is "Bhangra pop" in India and example of globalization? Sounds like Jamaican reggae played on traditional Indian instruments, then amplified.
4. What is positive or good about globalization? I like that I have a variety of food to pick on, just like Mc Donald's, Italian food, sushi, etc.
   
5. What is negative about globalization? People are loosing their culture because they are being influenced by other countries.
6. What are indigenous people? Groups that stay in a specific area and have an specific culture.
7. What do linguists estimate is happening every two weeks due to globalization? A language dies.
8. How did the images make you feel? I felt very sad about about this people because they are poor and I also felt curious about some of this cultures and believes.
9. What did the photographs teach you about indigenous people and/or globalization? Indigenous people eat tropical things such as fruits so they don't really participate in globalization.
   
10. In your opinion is globalization a good thing or a bad thing? Or some combination of the two? Explain. I think it is combination of good and bad because, I love to have a lot of options of what to eat and it that is not necessarily from my country. But it is bad because some countries are loosing their culture because they are being influenced by others. But I wouldn't like to not have all this restaurants to pick on.
    

Please Help UN

Sudan needs help from the UN right now. I think it is completely unfair that the Sudan's president is helping the Hurders with weapons, money, etc. and it is not helping the farmers. First of all we need your help to stop the fighting and stay in peace, and second of all we need the Sudan's president to know he is being an unfair president. We all say that fighting is not a good way to come to a resolution, bu we all know that now a days there is always violence. The Sudan's president can't take sides, and he has to figure out a way were the Farmers and Hurders are happy. You all (UN) are peace keepers and we need your help to solve this problem and to let know the Sudan's he is doing the wrong thing of taking sides. I am very sad of what is happening around the world, with all the violence and we need the UN's help to solve this and stop the killing, and genocide. Genocide is horrible, please help us!

PS: We need your help urgently!

Genocide in Sudan

In Sudan two troupes are fighting for a piece of land. The troupes are : Farmers and Hurders. The farmers want to plant fruits in a piece of land but at the same time the Hurders want their animals to stay and run in the piece of land, so they are fighting for it. But the president Omar al-Bashier is supporting the Hurders and he is giving them weapons, money, etc. And they are killing the farmers and also people that are innocent. This problem is very bad, now a days there is no peace in the world, everything is solved with violence! It is unfair that the president is supporting a a troupe and not the other. The resolution is definitely not violence. I feel very sad about this problem and I wish I could help with this problem!

Hotel Rwanda

What are the limitations of the U.N.? They can not shoot unless they are shot first. They can only keep peace. They can't save every one. If the government doesn't let the UN enter they can't. They cant enter a country by force because they wouldn't be peace keepers. They cant kill people that are bad or good, they have to keep there guns down because they have to teach the world keep peace.

Is it the responsibility of the world to stop genocide? It is the responsibility of the world to stop genocide because the people that do the genocide live in this world were you and me live. We all have to help each other and not stay home saying "Oh poor people," because one of those people can be your mom, your friends, your family. We have to stop genocide around the world because the next person that can be killed is you! We are all responsible of what happens around the planet Earth because we live in this planet and we have to help to make this world a better place to live.

JMUN Reflection

What would you do differently next year to prepare? I would like to have a disco or a party so we get to socialize with people that we don't know. It is cool that we meet people in our committee but it would be much cooler to meet people that are not necessarily in our committee. I would have liked to have more time to socialize because we were only discussing about our topic. It would be very cool to have a party, it would make JMUN more fun. I love to dance, so I would have danced with everybody.

What did you like? I liked the fact that we needed to go dressed very formally, I felt big. I liked a lot that I made a lot of friends in my committee, and some were not in my committee. I had the menssangers and facebooks of a lot of people. I liked when we discussed about Cholera because I felt like if we were really trying to solve the problem and we were really going to help. I also liked that I saw friends that I already met before in VANAS. I also liked when we were competing on the resolutions.

What did you dislike? There is not much to say of what I disliked because I liked it. But I got board sometimes because we didn't stop talking. There were sometimes were the Chairs made mistakes on the time we were aloud to go eat, and we went to eat and then they looked for us to go back to the class. We got board sometimes because we spoke of the same thing, and we were sitting down listening and asking questions and the same thing over and over. The rest of the things were cool!

Speech

Committee Name: ECOSOC - Commission on sustainable development, human settlements and energy

Issue: Cholera

Country: Bahrain

Delegate: Camila Rosales

School: C.I.C. Caracas

Honorable delegates and distinguished chair: The delegation of Bahrain believes that the topic of Cholera is a very important one to our United Nations assembly. We feel that the problem is very bad and we need to stop Cholera because it affects people around the world. We believe this because:

We have to stop Cholera because it can spread around the world.

These problems need the attention of the United Nations and we have ideas for how we might solve this problem together:

We encourage the creation of a special committee to examine the Cholera issue to create especial machines for medical treatment.

Bahrain looks forward to respectful and meaningful discussions with our fellow JMUN delegates. We invite you to join us in confronting the world’s challenges with a strong spirit of cooperation.
