Ban Ki Moon is the eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, whom has helped mobilize the world in an amazing variety of different ways. He is still a person who can continue to help our Earth be the best that it can be. From being born when Korea was in war, to now, to be one of the greatest leaders of the world, Ban Ki Moon is truly a significant person. Having a tough early life, it could’ve been nearly impossible for anyone to believe that Ban Ki Moon could turn out like this. First of
Ban Ki-Moon is holding the logo of the United Nation and he's struggling to keep it up. This is an allusion to the Greek myth of Atlas. Atlas was a Greek Titan who after the war between the Gods and Titans was forced to hold the Sky on his shoulders for all eternity. Modern depictions of Atlas have him holding up Earth. Ban is wearing what looks like greek attire, a robe and gladiator sandals. Unlike Atlas, Ban is not holding the United Nations for all eternity, he is passing the job onto Guterres

After Malala delivered her speech at the UN, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon decided that the UN is committed to providing education to all children through its Global Education Initiation. Malala does not plan or want to back down and has said she will not stop fighting until every child has the opportunity to have an educational
Social justice. A term used very commonly in some parts of the world, and a term some ears have never heard. So what is it anyway? Simply defined, social justice is the ability people have to realize their potential in the society where they live. However, it depends who you ask. According to Matthew Robinson, social justice is defined as "... promoting a just society by challenging injustice and valuing diversity.” It exists when, and only when all people share a common humanity and therefore
Wang, Annie Mrs. Philyaw HH2: Period 5 3/25/14 Gender Inequality in Syria "No society treats its women as well as its men." So states the United Nations Development Programme, written in its 1997 Human Development Report. Gender inequality is a highly prevalent issue in society all over the world. However, in less privileged third world countries such as Syria, this problem is exacerbated by the pitiful conditions the Syrian people live in. According to a gender gap study conducted in 2013, Syria’s
On July 14th 2012 a song was released which created a storm throughout the world, it was so different to the other music in the industry, so catchy, the dancing was so unique. It was put on to YouTube and a paradigm was created. So let’s see what is behind this music because on first thoughts one would quite feasibly argue what has Gangnam got to do with theology. Having to reflect on Gangnam? This is not theology, what on earth has theology got to do with this, and what sort of a college is this
The United Nations is one of the largest intergovernmental organizations with a membership that includes one-hundred and ninety three states as well as many non-member observer states and organizations, such as Palestine and Amnesty International. As an IGO that represents the majority of the nation-states in our international system, the United Nations, commonly referred to as the UN, is dedicated to promoting peace and stability within the international arena. The UN serves as a forum that enables
only important to ensure the continuity of the group, but also making the past a living and vital part of the present, where accuracy of the memories of the past are less important than the memories themselves. For example the Khasi Origin Myth of Ki Hynniew Trep (The Seven Huts) is constantly being referred too, in order to build and enhance identity consciousness. The Khasis refer to themselves as the people of the Hynniew Trep, believing and building upon the myth’s believability. These myths
Since the dawn mankind, man has always tried to dominate over the female figure. This is not just because he is strong but just the projection of his insecurity. Even today, in our so called ‘pseudo liberal society’, man makes impotent attempts to silence and diminish the power given to women by God. One emblem of power is Malala Yousafzai who was tried to silence by the roars of the guns. Malala, an ordinary girl from a rural society, just like any other girl from a conservative background had lived
The way refugees are being treated is wrong and they deserve more respect. Also those countries had thought they would cause trouble evermore they thought the refugees would to take their jobs so they did not want them in their country. I believe that it is an obligation of the US to accept refugees. Why because they are running the refugees are trying to get away from the danger and protect their families from the cruel or bad things that are happening in their country. The refugees are not getting
“Defeating racism, tribalism, intolerance, and all forms of discrimination will liberate us all, victim and perpetrator alike” (Ban Ki-Moon). This famous quote from Ban Ki-Moon described different types of discrimination and how they can be overpowered. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, many forms of discrimination are shown through different characters in their own ways. Discrimination affects characters in Of Mice and Men through Lennie being overprotected by George, Crooks living
fear for their safety, the young people who have no chance to receive a decent education have a right to better, and we have a responsibility to do better. All people have the right to safe drinking water, sanitation, shelter and basic services” Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General (2010). Thus this recent cholera outbreak in Haiti highlights the failure of the UN to follow through on their claims and policies. This is not a one-off case but one in a string of such similar cases in the world. In 1991
“Development “and “human development”, although go hand in hand they are two different concepts. In simple words Development refers to the process of developing. In broader terms it is an event that constitutes a new change in a changing situation. In contrast to this, Human Development largely includes the development of the human brain, their ability to think, and to be able to take rational decisions based on what they think. Development comes through the process of human development and therefore
million of them are children, almost 6,200 unfortunately died, and many of them were displaced (World Vision, 2013). The United Nations said that it will take several years before the affected areas could fully recover. Secretary General of UN, Ban Ki – moon said that the Philippine Government is facing a huge statistical challenge in carrying out its ...
lacked repetition. She stated, “Equality means that President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, it means that he is equal to the little girl in the Gihembe refugee camp who is dreaming about being president one day. Equality means that UN secretary General Ban Ki-Moon is equal to the young intern at the UN who is dreaming about shaking his hand one day. Equality means that a wife is equal to her husband.” This displayed an anaphora by restating “Equality means.” This really pushed her point over the top and made
The strongest criticism came from the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who described the act as “unjustifiable” and accused the IDF of attacking the school, despite knowing that it is a shelter. He states, "I want to make it clear that the exact location of this elementary school has been communicated to the Israeli
Name: Institution: Instructor: Course: Date: Soft Power The term soft power was coined by Joseph Nye in 1990 and defined it as a country’s capability to influence other countries through diplomacy and dialogue instead of use of brutal force (coercion). He was of the opinion that soft power is cultivated through striking relations with allies, cultural exchanges and economic assistance. The increase in soft power popularity can be attributed to the failure of hard power that entailed the use of military
responsible for the migrants they take in but it also doesn’t guarantee that the money will be spent on the migrants. In a few developing countries the aid is poorly spent or that it is critically affected by the corruption; 2012 the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon mentioned “Last year, corruption prevented 30 per cent of all development assistance from reaching its final destination”. Furthermore even if the aid is spend correctly on those it’s supposed to be for there are a few problems. A lot of the developing
Haggard and Lindsay claim, “In July [of 2014], Pyongyang had asked Washington to block the release of the film and had even lodged a protest to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon.” After the U.S. government refused to be hindered by North Korea, a group, called the “Guardians of Peace,” began to send veiled threats to Sony Pictures Entertainment, which hinted at potential harm towards Sony employees and referenced the September
