I believe the main roles for the GatorMUN Secretary-General are serving as an executive for the GatorMUN Secretariat, acting as a liaison between the GatorMUN Secretariat and the Executive Board, and being an approachable face of the club. My experience on Secretariat this year has made me appreciate that the Secretary-General should retain some executive power, as the more popular decision may not always be the correct one; as a member of Secretariat I personally wasn’t in favor of a delegate dance, but I understand the value that a delegate social adds to the conference as a whole and I agree with the decision that was made in favor of having the dance. GatorMUN is extremely important to the club financially, and the Executive Board should
In the memoir The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion narrates her personal struggle of coping the realization of John being dead and will never resurrect to reunite with Joan. Joan exerts many sorrowful expressions as medical information and the vortex effects instill a sense of anticipation that John will soon come back. Consequently, Didion’s hopefulness opaques her true identity as she still associates herself as a married woman, when in reality, she needs to move on from John to reestablish her extroverted personality to the world once again. On the contrary, Didion comes to a consensus that John’s death was inevitable, Joan starts to ponder about her future with the exclusion of John. With Joan grieving
This is a very important chair because they are liable for all the sisters that go out to Delta Zeta functions like mixers. This year this Caitlyn has taken a lot of unnecessary heat for social media with the new national policy changes and I think that for next semester the sisters should
Responsible to the University President for the overall administration and management of the university intercollegiate athletics program; and performing other related duties as assigned.
As a mayor begins or continues their term of office, their overall purpose is as leader of the council and a number of roles which are both legislative and functional. The mayor not only takes precedence at all municipal proceedings within the municipality but must also take the chair at all meetings of the council at which he or she is present. The mayor’s role extends well beyond officiating at council meetings or other municipal proceedings and includes providing leadership, promoting positive relationships, and modelling good governance.
General managers (GM) negotiate all of the activities and services offered at a casino. Ranging from personnel issues to creating and following a budget. Casino general managers work with human resources, accounting, marketing, security, housekeeping, food services and gaming departments in order to develop procedures and plans, observe activities and guarantee customers happiness. “The general manager of a casino is responsible not only for the gambling portion of the operation but also for the hotel and restaurants associated with it”, says Jim Bright, president of Bristol Associates. As for traveling, this career doesn’t have many requirements. The only travel there is to do is to find a location where there is a casino considering there are only 22 states with commercial casinos.
I am an agent for the Fairy Tail Guild. That means that I have the authority to make decisions for the guild when the master is gone. Right now the master is gone at a meeting so I am in charge, and I think I am doing an exceptional job. The last agent was evicted because when we needed to send a precise number of wizards in the guild to the magic council, he didn't acknowledge the ones on jobs and the guild was on probation for a month.
I chose to represent the major in the “Island Cruise”-role play. Taking part at that play made me realize that there are several aspects that you should keep in mind before attending a meeting, e.g. and amongst others “be prepared”, “listen”, “share common goals” and “keep your emotions out”.
I came across this book quite recently as an assigned reading in Gkisedtanamoogk’s Peace and Reconciliation. Which, incidentally turned out to be on of my favorite college courses. The basic premise of the book is that by making four basic agreements with ourselves we can create a more positive and loving world. The agreements are; to be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, never make assumptions, and always do your best. When I first began reading I thought this was a likely to be a highly oversimplified way to look at our worlds, but through group discussion and further reading I’ve found the philosophies put forward by this book to be hugely profound. By being impeccable with my words I spread less negativity about
1. As far as peace keeping methods go, the reputation of the United Nations is very pitiable. This is not only because they have not been doing their job to it’s fullest extent, but also because the member states on the security council haven’t given the UN the power it needs if it is to be a successful force in peace keeping methods.
Governance refers to how governing bodies are directed and controlled. Governing bodies are an important part of the sport industry. A governing body is usually structured in a way to attain its definite missions within the environment in which it works. However one of the main challenges this process might face is its process because the governing body must sustain a level of stability and consistency, as well as be responsive to change in the marketplace over time. A sports manager must understand the knowledge of how a governing body is organized, in order to be able to understand that governing body operates in a particular manner and why some bodies are more effective than others.
“The process of globalization and the increasing role of non-state actors in global governance are undermining the role of the state as the principal actor in global policymaking.”

In his article, John McCormick establishes that the number of NGOs present in the world today probably exists well into the six figures (P. 60). Assuming that the role of NGOs is to keep governmental organizations in check when it comes to environmental issues, it frustrated me to think that there actually could be such problems with environmental issues. Certainly hundreds of thousands of such organizations must be able to regulate the environment in an efficient manner so to keep the major problems in check, right? But I soon learned that the NGOs themselves, are often corrupt in their cooperation and may actually hinder the regulation of environmental standards.
According to the Commission on Global Governance (1995), global governance refers to “the sum of the many ways individuals and institutions, public and private, manage their common affairs. It is the continuing process through which conflict or diverse interests may be accommodated and cooperative action may be taken”. Some main actors involved in the process of global governance include states, international organizations (IOs), regional organizations (ROs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Global governance implements in various issue areas including security, economic deelopment, environmental protection and so on. Different states and organizations have different or even conflicting interests. Yet as globalisation continues and the world becomes more inter-connected than ever before, global governance or cooperation among different actors is increasingly taking a more significant role in the international stage. Some critics view global governance quite negatively as they believe that the current system lacks efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper, however, I shall argue that global governance is carried out more effectively in maintenance of world security and promotion of economic development while less effectively in environmental protection and preservation. Thus, despite limitations of the existing mechanism, global governance is still largely a postive development in world affairs.
Fifty-one countries established the United Nations also known as the UN on October 24, 1945 with the intentions of preserving peace through international cooperation and collective security. Over the years the UN has grown in numbers to include 185 countries, thus making the organization and its family of agencies the largest in an effort to promote world stability. Since 1954 the UN and its organizations have received the Nobel Peace Prize on 5 separate occasions. The first in 1954 awarded to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Geneva, for its assistance to refugees, and finally in 1988 to the United Nations Peace-keeping Forces, for its peace-keeping operations. As you can see, the United Nations efforts have not gone without notice.
